Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women.
And fear of this disease makes many people to “hide your head in the sand” in the hope that I will not touch it. This position is wrong.
Fear of breast cancer threat from two sides. First, fear is in principle a bad feeling, really can attract trouble. Therefore, excessive suspiciousness should be avoided as well as dangerous carelessness. We call the key myths about cancer of the breast in women, and you decide, is this information relevant to you or not.
MASTITIS IS THE FIRST STEP TO CANCER
The appearance of seals in the breast is sometimes regarded women as a precursor to cancer. Occurs an outright panic or carefully concealed from myself the fear. The second option, by the way, more dangerous – chronic stress is much more dangerous to the body than a bright, open form. Mastitis no reason to be afraid: a benign breast disease that occurs due to hormonal imbalance in the female body. However, the lack of attention to this issue, the lack of competent treatment really contribute to the development of fibrocystic breast disease in breast cancer. Contact your doctor at the first sign of symptoms!
CONTRACEPTIVES ARE FRAUGHT, BREAST CANCER
Relationship to hormonal drugs, most people are very cautious. And it’s partly correct. Because the hormonal system is very sensitive and the wrong doses, and even worse – unnecessary use of hormonal pills is really fraught with health problems. Therefore, any hormonal drugs must be taken only under the supervision of a physician and for its intended purpose!
But to breast cancer and hormonal contraceptives have no relationship. It is a completely proven fact of science. Much more dangerous than abortion.
MAMMOGRAPHY “IRRADIATES” CHEST
And radiation, of course, leads to breast cancer. Therefore, examination by a mammologist for potentially dangerous, especially if you pass through this device quite often, that is the way suggest the doctor once a year.
The risk of mammography, in terms of breast cancer – a myth. Mammography gives the same radiation as the sun in the two-hour stay on the beach. So after 40 years, the visit to the doctor for the purpose of examination in mammography is required. Before this age the doctors usually prescribed an ultrasound, but not because it is less harmful, but because after 40 years of changing the structure of the breast and the more informative it becomes a mammogram and not an ultrasound examination.
BREAST CANCER DEVELOPS QUICKLY
Therefore, screening for mammography once a year makes no sense. This is – not true. Breast cancer does not develop so quickly. And one survey a year is enough to feel safe.
FROM BREAST CANCER THERE IS NO SALVATION
Trust the statistics, and indeed, in the post-Soviet countries the mortality from breast cancer is very high: about 50%. But it’s not the skill of the doctors, and that women turn to hospitals too late. In the early stages of cancer can be cured completely in 90% of cases. Hence the conclusion: prophylactic examination is necessary!
