Dehradun. The number of women suffering from breast cancer is constantly increasing, due to lack of awareness and changing lifestyles, the month of October is celebrated all over the world as the Breast Cancer Awareness Month to bring awareness of breast cancer among women.
Hearing the name of breast cancer, cancer patients and their families give up hope of living, but according to experts, this assumption is not correct, in India, every year the number of women suffering from breast cancer is thirty out of one lakh. The average is increasing.
According to Dr. Sujata Sanjay, director and female and obstetrician of Sanjay Maternity Center, if you feel any lump, swelling or any kind of change in the breast, then contact the doctor, Dr. Sujata says, there is 4 stages of breast cancer. If the cancer is in the first stage, then the patient is expected to recover up to 80 percent. In the second stage, there is a possibility of recovery of 60 to 70 percent. Treatment becomes a bit difficult in the third or fourth stage of cancer. If some of its symptoms are identified on time, then treatment becomes easy.
According to the figures of the famous Tata Memorial Hospital, 4 thousand new cancer patients come to the hospital every year.
It is very important to understand here that different symptoms of breast cancer are found in different women. Breast cancer is easy to understand, women can do breast examination themselves. Lumps in the breast, changes in the shape or skin of the breast nipples, hardening of the breasts, blood or fluid coming from the nipples of the breast, pain in the breast, lumps under the arms (under arms) can also cause breast cancer. Although not every lump in the breast is cancerous, it is very important to get it checked, so that it does not catch the form of cancer in future.
According to Dr. Sujatha Sanjay, increasing weight along with alcohol, smoking, tobacco, especially after menopause, increases the risk of breast cancer in women. This happens because more hormones in the body are released from the fat tissue, getting pregnant at an older age and not breastfeeding the children are the main causes of breast cancer. Therefore, it is important that women keep their weight under control, decide the time of conception, and breastfeed their children for at least 6 months, thus reducing the risk of breast cancer. The cause of breast cancer can also be genetic, but it is found only in 5–10 percent of women. Dr. Sujata Sanjay says that changing your lifestyle excessively in changing times can also lead to breast cancer. It is recommended that high-cholesterol foods such as fast food such as burgers, French fries, chateas, red meat breasts increase the risk of cancer and do not consume contraceptive medicines, and after age 40, do mammography once a year.
Dr. Sujata believes that women do not mention it with fear and shame as soon as the symptoms of breast cancer are revealed, but it is necessary to contact the doctor immediately after the symptoms are detected.
According to Dr. Sujatha, lack of information about breast cancer is also playing an important role in its spread. Dr. Sujatha tells biopsy test to know whether there is breast cancer or not, if there is a lump in the breast, how big is its size and what type of breast cancer is it, then the treatment process becomes easy.
Dr. Sujata explains that there are 4 stages of breast cancer, if the breast cancer is in the first stage, then the patient is expected to recover more than 80 percent, in the second stage if there is breast cancer, 60 to 70 percent of the women recover. If there is breast cancer in the third or fourth stage, then treatment becomes a bit difficult, women who avoid exercising and the risk of breast cancer increases manifold. After menopause, it is very important for women to exercise. If you do not like heavy exercise, then you can go for half an hour daily. If you want, you can also maintain your fitness by choosing options like gardening or swimming. It also helps in reducing belly and waist fat. In a recent study on breast cancer, it was revealed that if there is obesity along with vitamin D deficiency, then it increases the risk of breast cancer, research has shown that good vitamin D is present in the body with low BMI. The level acts against breast cancer.
