The three most common groups with a high risk of breast cancer

According to recent survey statistics, the incidence of breast cancer in China is increasing rapidly, and is increasing at a rate of 3%-5% per year. So who are the high-risk groups for breast cancer ? The following is a list of the common high-risk groups for breast cancer.

Generally speaking, the high-risk groups for breast cancer are:

The first type of people: breast hyperplasia has not healed for many years

Breast hyperplasia has four strange characteristics: first, a lump with unclear edges appears in the breast; second, premenstrual breast pain, which may even radiate to the shoulders or back, and is sometimes very uncomfortable; third, there is a possibility of cancer, especially for cystic hyperplasia, which is said to have a cancer rate of 0.35%; fourth, the treatment time is long, and the hyperplastic tissue is not sensitive to drugs, or in other words, there is still a lack of specific drugs for treatment. Therefore, breast hyperplasia still makes many doctors feel difficult and confuses many women even in today's modern scientific development. This is one of the most common high-risk groups for breast cancer.

The second type of people: menarche before the age of 13 or late menopause

It is also a common high-risk group for breast cancer. Early menarche (menstruation before the age of 12), late menopause (menopause after the age of 50), and long menstruation (more than 35 years) are all recognized risk factors for the disease. Statistics show that the risk of breast cancer doubles for every 4-5 years of menarche in advance; those with menarche age of 13-15 years or older have a 20% lower chance of breast cancer than those under 12 years old. The incidence of breast cancer is lower for those who reach menopause under the age of 55. The risk of menopause over 55 years old is about double that of menopause under 45 years old.

The third type of people: Repeated abortions

Repeated abortions can greatly increase the likelihood of women developing breast cancer, and they are also a common high-risk group for breast cancer. A study shows that spontaneous abortion does not increase the risk of breast cancer; and women who have had an abortion before the age of 18 have a 110% higher risk of breast cancer than those who have not had an abortion. This is because after each abortion, the pregnancy of a pregnant woman is suddenly interrupted, and the hormone level in the body drops sharply, causing the newly developed mammary glands to suddenly stop growing, making the alveoli smaller or even disappearing, and the mammary glands recover. However, this recovery is usually incomplete, which can easily cause breast lumps and pain, and can induce breast diseases. Repeated breast lesions can become a predisposing factor for breast cancer.
