Breast Feeding Reduces chances of Breast Cancer

A recent study of breast cancer risk in India revealed that one in 28 women develops breast cancer during her lifetime. This is higher in urban areas (one in 22) compared to rural areas, where the risk is lower at one in 60 women. One of other reasons is- working women of urban areas hardly get time to breastfeed their baby due to their busy schedule. A fact revealed that women who breast-feed their baby for a year over their lifetime, not necessarily continuously, are five per cent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who don't breast-feed at all, an analysis of cancer statistics by the World Cancer Research Fund found. The longer a woman breast-feeds, the lower her chances of getting the disease. It's thought that breast-feeding lowers the levels of cancer-related hormones in the mother's blood. When breast-feeding ends, the body gets rid of damaged cells that could turn cancerous. Though Breastfeeding invites sagging in the breast but that can be resolved through an Aesthetic Breast Surgery later and we advice our clients to breastfeed their baby because its beneficial for mother & child both.

Breast Cancer in Men

Breast Cancer in Men

We have been informed through various studies that one in every thirty girls born in India may face breast cancer during any phase of her life but the recent researches supports the fact that one in every four hundred men born in India may also develop breast cancer. The result of the study may be surprising but it is true. The route cause is an abnormal breast cell growth that may be cancerous is stimulated by high estrogen (female hormone) levels. Factors that influence it include:

-Regular consumption of hormonal medicines or herbal supplements.

-Increased body weight due to unhealthy dietary habits.

-Smoking and/or chronic alcoholism.

-Genetic aberrations like Klinefelter Syndrome elevate estrogen levels in men.

-Men with a family history of breast cancer stand high risk as they may inherit either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.

Individuals, especially adolescents, undergoing radiation therapy for conditions like Hodgkin's Disease need to be careful as the odds of developing breast cancer are high. In exceptional cases, gynecomastia or enlargement of breasts in men may also lead to breast cancer. - See more at: http://mycosmeticsurgery.in/default.aspx?Flag=1&mnu=Home#sthash.SQ0fOJrk.dpuf
