Causes of breast cancer during lactation

For women, they are more worried about many gynecological diseases. Nowadays, breast cancer has caused many people to lose their lives, so women must not worry too much. The incidence of this disease is very high, especially for breastfeeding women, who should pay more attention to disease prevention.

There are many causes of breast cancer during lactation and pregnancy. Unreasonable diet, excessive animal protein intake, environmental pollution, high work pressure, etc. may cause the body's immune system to become disordered and stimulate tumor formation. There is a common view that women who do not give birth or breastfeed have a higher chance of developing breast cancer, but it cannot be ignored that women during pregnancy and lactation are also at a high risk of breast cancer. This is because the hormone levels in women during pregnancy and lactation change greatly, and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone is vigorous, which stimulates the growth of breast cancer.

However, breast cancer during lactation and pregnancy is easily delayed. During pregnancy, breasts will proliferate and swell due to hormone stimulation. At this time, many breast lumps and lactation are considered normal physiological reactions during pregnancy, and patients and doctors should not notice them. At the same time, breast hyperplasia and swelling will affect the accuracy of visual examination and palpation, and inspection and identification will be difficult. Due to the enlargement of breasts and the increase in breast tissue density, X-ray examinations are often difficult to show tumors, which also brings certain difficulties to early diagnosis.

If you have abnormal breasts during pregnancy or lactation, you should seek medical attention immediately. Breast cancer during lactation or pregnancy can be easily confused with mastitis. From the appearance point of view, breast cancer during lactation or pregnancy has extensive skin changes, often involving the entire breast, and the color is dark red or purple red; from the perspective of lymph nodes, the axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer during lactation or pregnancy are enlarged and hard, adhered to the skin and surrounding tissues, and are inactive when pushed by hand; from the perspective of systemic symptoms, breast cancer during lactation or pregnancy usually has no obvious systemic inflammatory response, such as: accompanied by fever, it is low fever; from the perspective of the course of the disease, breast cancer during lactation or pregnancy is a serious condition, and anti-inflammatory treatment is ineffective.

Although breast cancer is not a terminal illness, women must have enough knowledge about the disease. In daily life, female friends must not have too much pressure in life. At the same time, they should pay attention to their living habits and maintain a good attitude to avoid and prevent diseases.
