What is the cause of late recurrence of breast cancer

Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that harms women. Although men are also likely to develop breast cancer, women are much more likely to develop breast cancer. Due to the high incidence of breast cancer, treatment methods have also become more diverse, but cancer is also prone to recurrence. Why does breast cancer recur? In fact, if you are not careful during sex, there is also the possibility of breast cancer recurrence.

Patients with breast cancer can enjoy a normal life with their spouses, but they still need to pay attention to the start time of sexual life, contraception, and planning for pregnancy. During the treatment of breast cancer, patients experience the wounds of surgery and the effects of chemotherapy. Usually, their physical condition is relatively weak within half a year after discharge from the hospital, and they are in a recovery period. During this period, sexual life should be absolutely prohibited to facilitate the recovery of the body. Within 1-3 years after surgery, the number of sexual lives should also be controlled and reduced. If the physical condition is good and the condition is relatively stable, you can have a moderately relaxed sexual life. Be careful not to be too excited or violent during intercourse, let alone too much desire.

What factors are associated with breast cancer recurrence?

Medical research and clinical practice have fully proved that the occurrence and development of breast cancer is closely related to excessive estrogen levels in the body. Within 5 years after breast cancer treatment, the condition is still not under control, which is a high-risk period for recurrence and metastasis. Pregnancy will cause the estrogen level in the patient's body to increase, and the condition will rapidly worsen. Such cases are not uncommon in clinical practice.

Therefore, young patients should not rush to get pregnant and have children. It is not too late to plan after a stable recovery period of 5 years. In order to avoid the recurrence of symptoms caused by the influence of estrogen during pregnancy, it is recommended to use pure Chinese medicine preparations that are non-toxic, anti-cancer and do not affect the growth and development of the fetus for conditioning. Patients who do not have a fertility plan or are temporarily unsuitable for fertility must take contraceptive measures.

In fact, the effect of the early breast cancer "breast-conserving" surgery combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is no less than that of "complete curative surgery", with a 5-year survival rate of more than 90% and a breast health rate of 90%. "Breast-conserving" surgery not only maintains the body curves of breast cancer patients, but also improves their quality of life.

The main ingredient of the current female contraceptive pills is also estrogen. Although many studies have proven that oral contraceptives do not increase the risk of breast cancer, it is not safe for patients who have already suffered from breast cancer to use any type of hormone unless they get the doctor's permission. Therefore, the contraceptive method for breast cancer patients is not to use drugs, but to use things, especially male condoms.

In the follow-up of patients, it was found that most people, after breast cancer treatment, suffered from physical damage caused by surgery, which led to psychological shadows that could not be erased, resulting in a lack of self-confidence and shame in facing their husbands during married life. Some even had a fear of sex and became frigid. Many people also believed that sex would worsen the condition, causing breast cancer to recur and endanger their lives, and sometimes husbands avoided it out of protection for their wives. Only a very small number of men had conflicting emotions and resisted sex because they were worried that breast cancer would be transmitted through sex.
