When are women susceptible to breast cancer

May 16, 2023


First of all, family history is one of the important factors that make women susceptible to breast cancer. A woman's risk increases if she has a first-degree relative with breast cancer. A woman's risk is further increased, especially if her mother, sister or daughter has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Therefore, women with family history need to pay more attention to the health of their breasts, conduct regular breast examinations, and seek early detection and treatment.

Secondly, age is also an important factor affecting breast cancer. Generally speaking, the risk of breast cancer gradually increases for women after the age of 40, especially after entering menopause. This is because as women age, hormone levels begin to fluctuate, which can have an impact on the health of breast tissue. Therefore, women after the age of 40 should pay more attention to breast health, conduct regular breast examinations and breast ultrasound, and perform mammography according to the doctor's recommendations.


In addition, lifestyle is also related to the susceptibility to breast cancer. Long-term obesity, high-sugar and high-fat diet, lack of exercise and other bad habits will increase the risk of breast cancer. Research shows that exercise can not only help maintain ideal weight, but also effectively reduce hormone levels and reduce the exposure time of breast tissue, thereby reducing the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, women should maintain good living habits and prevent breast cancer through moderate exercise and a balanced diet.


Finally, the susceptibility to breast cancer is related to a woman's reproductive history. Research shows that women who have never had children or who did not have children before the age of 30 have a relatively higher risk of developing breast cancer. Moreover, the more children a woman has, the lower her risk of breast cancer, and breastfeeding also has a certain protective effect. Therefore, women should consider multiple factors when making fertility decisions, including age, family, career, etc., and consult and discuss with their doctors to find the solution that best suits them.


In short, when women are susceptible to breast cancer is a complex issue. Family history, age, lifestyle, and reproductive history are all associated with breast cancer risk. Therefore, women should actively pay attention to breast health, conduct regular examinations, adopt an active lifestyle, and maintain regular communication with doctors to detect and prevent the occurrence of breast cancer earlier.
