Breast health daily care methods

The core is not at all the essential oil massage, breast enlargement cream, and knot-removing ointment advocated by Internet celebrities. You only need to do three things-regular monthly self-examination, avoid clear risks of breast injury, and adjust your living habits according to your own physiological stage. More than 90% of commercial projects that claim to "enlarge breasts" and "eliminate nodules" are not only useless, but may cause chaos to the breast glands.

When I was a trainee in breast surgery two years ago, I met a 32-year-old female patient who had grade 3 benign breast nodules during a physical examination. She was supposed to have a re-examination every six months, but I heard from a beauty salon that "massage can loosen the nodules." I spent more than 8,000 to apply for an annual card. I went there twice a week to massage the nodules, and the technician was always happy. I rubbed it to death and said, "Pain is the only thing that works." After less than three months, my breasts hurt so much that I had to put on underwear. When I came for a review, edema had appeared around the nodules, and the nodules with clear boundaries were oozing from the pressure. Fortunately, the pathology was benign in the end, otherwise it would really be more of a loss than the gain.

At this point, some people may ask, is massage useless? In fact, it cannot be beaten to death with a stick. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there are indeed acupoint massage methods for breast hyperplasia caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, but the premise is that you must first undergo breast ultrasound and mammography examinations to rule out malignant risks, and find a massage department in a regular hospital. The operation performed by a professional doctor is completely different from the technician in a beauty salon who can't even figure out the structure of the breast and dares to use all his strength. There is absolutely no such thing as "kneading away the nodules". Solid nodules cannot be eliminated by external force, so don't take chances.

Talking about things that ordinary people can do every day, many people think that self-examination is useless, or they find it too troublesome to remember. In fact, it really doesn’t take much time. Just choose 3-7 days after menstruation every month, when the hormone level is the most stable. Just touch it while taking a shower, and make clockwise circles around the nipple. Don't forget to touch the armpit as well. If you touch a small lump that is hard, hard to push, or painful when pressed, or a sudden bloody discharge or inexplicable dent in the nipple, don't frighten yourself by searching online. Go directly to the hospital for a breast ultrasound. It costs 180 yuan. Buy it with confidence. My college roommate felt a small hard ball on his right breast while taking a shower one time. He went to check to see if it was a 1cm fibroid, and it was enough to perform a minimally invasive surgery. If it took two or three years, he might have to undergo a larger operation.

In addition to keeping an eye on the changes, those little habits that you don't take seriously are actually the best maintenance. For example, don’t wear adjustable bras that are so tight that you can’t breathe to show off your big breasts, and don’t tie your breasts to show off your small breasts. I once met a girl who was a sophomore in high school. She was too embarrassed to wear well-fitting bras, so she wore tight bras every day. After wearing it for more than half a year, she had to go back and check her breasts. The hyperplasia of her breasts made it difficult to lift her arms. In recent years, some people have said that "wearing underwear can cause breast cancer." There is currently no conclusion in the academic field. The consensus is that as long as you don't wear underwire bras that cause chest pain 24 hours a day, it will not increase the risk of the disease at all. There is no need to overcorrect. It is okay to directly vacuum when relaxing at home. Comfort is the most important.

Many people ask me whether drinking soy milk and eating tofu will damage the breast glands if too much estrogen is taken. It’s really a misunderstanding. The soy isoflavones in soybeans are phytoestrogens, which are two-way regulators. If the estrogen in your body is high, it will help you antagonize it, and if it is low, it will supplement it. Drinking a cup of soy milk every day is no problem at all. On the contrary, it is much healthier than drinking milk tea. What you really need to avoid are royal jelly, snow clams, and those health care products with unknown ingredients that claim to be "anti-aging" and "breast enlargement." I once had a 40-year-old aunt patient who heard from a friend that snow clams are anti-aging. She ate a small bowl every day for a year and went for a physical examination. The breast nodules directly increased to 4a. Fortunately, the puncture was benign, which scared her so much that she never dared to touch them again.

There is another point that many people overlook. The breast is actually a well-known "emotional organ." Do you always feel breast swelling and pain when you stay up all night for a week, have a fight with your family, or are so stressed at work that you cry every day? I worked on a project for half a month last year and slept less than 5 hours a day. I was in so much pain that I didn’t even dare to run. I went to get an ultrasound and found that the hyperplasia was much heavier than before. Later, I postponed some of the work at hand. I try to go to bed before 11 o’clock every day and go hiking on weekends to relax. Within two weeks, the pain disappeared. It is really more effective than taking Xiaoyao Pills.

In fact, after all, there are really not so many fancy ways to take care of your breasts. Just treat it as an ordinary part of your body. Don’t always think about tossing it, and don’t be fooled by the anxious marketing of the merchants, such as “If you don’t take care of it, you will get breast cancer” and “Sagging will happen.” It's because you don't pay attention to maintenance." Aging is a normal physiological process. Breastfeeding, age, and collagen loss will all cause sagging. If you really mind, wear a supportive sports bra when running. Don't hold your breasts and hunch your back. Any adjustable bra will work. If you really have a problem, go see a doctor from a regular hospital as soon as possible. Don't listen to the blind advice given by technicians in beauty salons. It's better than anything else.
