Breast Cancer awareness




Breast Cancer awareness

Breast Cancer is one of the most widely spread diseases, it may affect one of eight women. 
Knowing the touch of your breasts, and checking them regularly, can help you discover when something is wrong. Know what you are looking for, including new blocks and changes in shape.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women. Women's risk of breast cancer during their lifetime is one in ten.

Be familiar with the breast

     Early detection of cancer can mean that treatment is more effective. Knowing how to feel your breasts will usually help you learn about any abnormal changes. Not all changes are a sign of breast cancer. Some women have abscesses or thickening in the breast tissue, which is normal. You can learn more about the causes of breast lump.

Know how to shape and touch your breasts. 


  Their appearance and texture can change at different times of the menstrual cycle. Breast-producing tissue in the breast becomes active before menstruation begins in days. Some women find that their breasts become sensitive and lumpy at this time, especially near the armpits.
After hysterectomy, the breasts usually show the same monthly changes as your period has normally stopped.
After menopause, the activity of the milk-producing tissues stops. Natural breasts can become soft, less cohesive, and less lumpy.

The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) shows that mastectomy means:
• Find out what is normal for you
• Look at your breasts and feel them
• Find out what changes to look for
• Report any changes without delay
• undergo routine breast screening if you are 50 or older
