Start the New Year by Caring for Your Breast Health
Editor: Lady Rae
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but many risks can be significantly reduced with proper prevention and early detection. As we step into a new year, we encourage women to prioritize their health, understand breast cancer risks, prevention methods, and the importance of regular check-ups.
The Impact of Breast Cancer
Key Risk Factors for Breast Cancer
Risk increases with age, particularly for women over 40.
A family history of breast cancer, especially among immediate relatives, raises your risk.
Early menstruation, late menopause, or prolonged use of hormone replacement therapy can elevate risk.
A sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, alcohol consumption, and smoking can all contribute to higher risk.
