How to protect breast health

In fact, there are really no mysterious maintenance secrets for breast health. The key is not to mess around and do regular screenings. The rest of the life adjustments are just the icing on the cake, and you can't afford to pay tens of thousands of IQ taxes just for this.

In the past few years, I have come into contact with hundreds of women with breast problems. Last week, I met a 28-year-old Internet operator girl. Her physical examination revealed a grade 2 benign nodule. She was deceived by a beauty salon and said that essential oil massage can "clear and disperse knots." She saved her job for half a year. She applied for an annual card and went for massage twice a week. After three months of massage, it was so painful that it was difficult to lift her arms. When she went to the hospital for a B-ultrasound, she found that the originally good breast tissue had been locally edematized and caused slight inflammation. She was so frightened that she canceled the card from the beauty salon on the spot.

Speaking of this, some people must want to ask, are the many breast-damaging foods posted on the Internet true? For example, soy milk and honey have been quarreling for several years. In fact, there is no absolute conclusion in the academic circles at present: one school of research believes that the soy isoflavones in soybeans are phytoestrogens, which are different from the body's own estrogen structure. Drinking one or two cups of soy milk and eating some tofu every day can play a two-way regulatory role. If the hormone level is high, it will help lower it, and if it is low, it will raise it. It has a protective effect on the breast glands. ； There are also clinical observations of small samples that found that if people with breast nodules eat a large amount of purified soy isoflavone health products for a long time, it may stimulate the growth of nodules. However, the daily dietary intake of ordinary people does not reach the risk threshold. The same is true for honey. It is okay to drink one or two spoons of water and make tea normally. Don't take royal jelly as a supplement every day.

Normally, you don’t have to memorize complicated self-examination tutorials. Just touch it twice when taking a shower. If you feel a hard lump that you have never touched before, or a brown/bloody discharge suddenly appears in the nipple, or the breast skin suddenly becomes dented like a small dimple, don’t blindly search for diseases on Baidu and frighten yourself. Directly call a breast surgery account. Ten yuan to buy peace of mind is better than anything else.

As for the screening that everyone is most concerned about, there is no need to be overly anxious. If direct relatives such as mothers and grandmothers have had breast cancer, or have a history of atypical breast hyperplasia before, it is enough to have a breast B-ultrasound plus a mammography once a year after the age of 30. Ordinary healthy women will have an B-ultrasound every year before the age of 40, and add a mammography after the age of 40. They do not need to check every two or three months. On the contrary, unnecessary radiation exposure will not be beneficial.

Don't usually wear thick cup push-up bras that pinch your ribs, and don't wear corsets for long periods of time just for beauty. When you get home, change into loose home clothes to let your breasts breathe. If you feel your breasts are swollen and painful after staying up late and sulking, just apply a warm towel for two minutes. It's better than any Internet celebrity massager. To put it bluntly, the breast itself is a very "delicate" organ. It is the best way to maintain it if you don't always think about stuffing it or tossing it.
