Isn’t there a saying that 8 out of 10 women have breast nodules.
In fact, nodules are also divided into small nodules , large nodules, general nodules and deteriorating nodules, etc.However, most of them are relatively mild or benign lesions, and only a few are malignant disease. However, now that the medical world is so developed, breast cancer has long been less scary than imagined. As long as early detection and early treatment, not only can it be effectively controlled, but some early breast cancers can be cured.
“maintenance” delays treatment
Ms. Zhu, 45 years old, Half a year ago, she discovered lumps in her breasts, because she heard from a lady in a beauty salon that breast maintenance can eliminate lumps and prevent cancer. As a result, not only did the lump not disappear, but it grew bigger and bigger, and even had breast depression and orange peel-like changes. Not long ago, Ms. Zhu went to the hospital for an examination, and it was found that she had advanced breast cancer. It is precisely because of the so-called breast maintenance that Ms. Zhu lost the best time for treatment. There are many such examples, and some patients even have breast maintenance in the same beauty salon. At present, breast maintenance has become an important “money-sucking” project for many beauty salons. Many women are very happy to pay when they hear the promise that “maintenance” can prevent breast cancer. However, many women who are clinically diagnosed with breast lesions are delayed because they believe these beautiful lies. the best time for treatment. Therefore, women with breast lumps are especially reminded to go to the hospital for regular treatment, and do not believe in so-called breast maintenance. Nowadays, the so-called breast maintenance in beauty salons is actually the use of massage ointment combined with manual massage to care for the breasts. However, massage ointment may be the culprit of breast cancer.
Such maintenance not only does not prevent breast cancer, it may also increase the risk of breast cancer. For economic benefits, some unscrupulous businesses use massage ointments that contain a certain amount of estrogen, either explicitly or secretly, which has a certain effect on breast enhancement, but < /span>Long-term local stimulation of the breast with estrogen will greatly increase the risk of breast cancer. In addition, other chemical ingredients in massage ointment may also cause gene mutations in breast cells during long-term use, which can lead to breast cancer happened.
