Don’t panic when you hear about breast nodules!

Strictly speaking, this is not a disease, but a change in the breast, a phenomenon.

About 80% are benign.

Simply put: A clump or clump of abnormal tissue distinct from surrounding tissue.

It doesn’t go away with a massage.

The beauty salon is using your anxiety to create a marketing stunt!

If nodules are found during the physical examination, I hope you will remember the following information[1]:

1. See the level

BI-RADS, a unified grading standard for evaluating benign and malignant breast nodules, represented by 0-6, the higher the grade, the higher the degree of malignancy.

2. Regular review

For those with grade 2 and below, regular review and annual breast examination can be done;

Grade 3 requires 3-6 months to review breast ultrasound to observe the changes of nodules;

Level 4 and above, it is recommended to seek help from a specialist.

Push-up underwear looks good, but it can compress the chest cavity, restrict breathing, make women feel chest tightness, dizziness, “squeaky”, and may even increase abdominal pain Internal pressure induces gastroesophageal reflux.

Underwear that is too tight is like “squeezing toothpaste”, it will squeeze the breast and affect the normal flow of local blood circulation and lymph;

Tight underwear can also rub against the skin frequently during activity, which can be bad for breast health.

You don’t need to pay for other people’s aesthetics, but your own health.

Milk tea, yogurt, juice, chicken feet, spicy strips, egg yolk crisps, calorie bombs give us happiness!

But eating and not exercising further accelerates calorie hoarding.

Eventually, ball lightning.

Obesity, allowing excess fat to “convert to manufacture” estrogen, allowing our body’s estrogen levels to “oversupply”;

Obesity also reduces our body’s sensitivity to insulin, known as “insulin resistance,” which ultimately makes us more susceptible to breast cancer [2, 3,4].

A BMJ meta-study revealed [5]:

For every 5 kg of weight gain, the risk of breast cancer increases by 11%.

Women are postmenopausal and have a stronger association between fat and breast cancer[6], and even after breast cancer recovery, obese people are more likely to have a recurrence [7].

BMI over 24Heavy, over 28 is considered obese [8] (BMI=weight (kg) ÷ height (m) 2), so be careful.

The belly fat is more dangerous than the butt or thigh, so waist is also a focus. Women’s waistline ≥85 cm, really want to start losing weight [9].

Many girls think that “No pain in the chest usually means there is no problem”.

90% of breast cancers are actually painless, but the most common abnormalities are:

Hard lumps on the breast, bloody nipple discharge, sunken nipples, sunken breast skin, orange peel, rash and other changes.

Most early-stage breast cancers are completely asymptomatic, so don’t skip testing just because there’s nothing unusual, especially in women with the following characteristics[10]: p>

Premature menarche (<12 years), late amenorrhea (>55 years)

Never gave birth, first birth, pregnancy >35 years old.

Mother, sister, grandmother, etc. have breast/ovarian cancer.

For specific screening methods, see: Breast Cancer Screening.

In 2020, the number of cancer patients worldwide will surpass that of lung cancer for the first time, making breast cancer the most common cancer in the world [11].

Sisters, you should be more vigilant and take precautions.

May we all be safe and healthy!
