The purpose is to identify changes in the breast structure, especially lumps. Self examination can only help to detect some forms of breast cancer, there is no guarantee that it will always successfully detect cancerous growth. It is recommended that women over the age of 40 include a mammography in their general medical check up every 1-2 years. How to check your breasts for signs of cancer Stand upright with your upper body exposed in front of a mirror. Start with your hands on your hips while just looking for signs of dimpling, swelling, soreness, or redness. Repeat this visual examination with your arms raised above your head. While still standing, palpate (i.e. examine by touch) your breasts with your fingers, feeling for lumps. Try to use a larger area of your fingers rather than prodding. Feel both the area just beneath the skin and the tissue deeper within. Go over the entire breast while examining. One method is to divide the breast into quadrants and palpate each quadrant carefully. Also examine the “axillary tail” of each breast that extends toward the axilla (armpit). Repeat palpation [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/breast-cancer-self-examination/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>How to Detect and Treat Breast Cancer</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:15:09 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breast cancer screening]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mammography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[self examination]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women’s health]]></category> <guid

The breast is composed of a group of glands and ducts protected by a fatty tissue. When cancer occurs the cells start to divide and multiply quickly growing in an abnormal pace. It can start within the mammary glands or ducts and spread to the lymph nodes and the fat tissue around the breast. Although, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women under 35, only 8,000 women are diagnosed before their menopause, of which 2,000 are in their 20s or 30s, out of 44,000 women diagnosed each year. There are some factors that can increase the risk of a woman developing breast cancer they are as follows: Starting menstruation at a young age, before 12 years old. Late menopause, after 55 years old Being overweight, in particular after the menopause If it is in the family history and/or inherited genes Intake of HRT – only while taking it, the risks are reduced after stopping taking it Regular intake of more than one unit of alcohol every day Having previously had [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/cancer/how-to-detect-breast-cancer/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
