Is breast cancer contagious?

Breast cancer is not contagious because it is caused by cell degeneration, not by bacteria or virus infection. Therefore, breast cancer is not contagious. When a family member is found to have breast cancer, there is no need to worry too much. Family members can live a normal life with the family member. Even if there is some intimate contact, it will not be contagious. Family members must encourage the family member to face the disease optimistically and receive regular treatment in time.

What are the early symptoms of breast cancer?

The early symptoms of breast cancer are not obvious, often manifested as local symptoms such as breast skin abnormalities, breast lumps, nipple discharge, etc., which are often ignored. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, anemia, and fever will appear. In order to prevent the development of breast cancer and reduce recurrence, you should eat easily digestible high-protein foods such as eggs, milk, fish, and soy products, which can improve the body's anti-cancer ability. Eat more anti-cancer foods such as black fungus, garlic, turtle, seaweed, royal jelly, etc.

How to self-check for breast cancer

Breast lumps: They usually appear in one breast, are hard, grow quickly, and are movable. If they invade the pectoral muscles or chest wall, they are less movable or fixed. Skin changes: The skin color changes from light red to dark red, accompanied by skin edema and thickening, and the surface temperature rises. It can expand from local to the whole breast. Nipple changes: Tumors invading the nipple can cause nipple inversion. Nipple discharge: If no obvious lumps are found, but there is only bloody or liquid discharge from the nipple, you should also seek medical attention in time to be alert to the occurrence of breast cancer.
