What should I do if I want to do regular breast cancer screening? These eight types of women must have regular breast cancer screening

Every year, many women suffer from breast cancer, which brings endless pain to themselves and their families. Therefore, breast cancer screening is very important. So which women need regular breast health examinations? Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among American women, second only to lung cancer. It is predicted that in 2015, about 230,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,300 will die from breast cancer. In the past 10 years, the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in my country have increased significantly, and the age is showing a trend of younger age. According to the "2015 China Cancer Registry Annual Report" released by the National Cancer Registry Center, breast cancer ranks first in the incidence of malignant tumors in women in my country. Experts point out that the decline in breast cancer mortality in my country is not obvious, which is related to the rapid growth of breast cancer, irregular screening and irregular comprehensive treatment. If China can popularize X-ray screening, 20,000 women can be saved from breast cancer death every year. The following eight types of women should undergo regular breast health examinations: 1. Have a family history of breast cancer; if someone in the family has breast cancer, the risk of other female direct relatives suffering from the disease is 4%-6 times higher than those without a family history. 2. Menarche before the age of 12 or more than 40 years. 3. Excessive consumption of high-sugar, high-fat, low-fiber foods, obese or diabetic patients. 4. Giving birth after the age of 30, not pregnant after the age of 40, single, married at an advanced age or for a short time. 4. Long-term use of hormones or hormone replacement therapy. 5. History of benign breast disease. 7. History of radiation and unhealthy lifestyle. 8. Extensive use of beauty and health products containing estrogen. Although there are many breast self-examination tips on the Internet, because self-examination of breasts is not professional and easy to miss, it is best to find an expert in a large hospital for examination and regularly do breast color Doppler ultrasound or molybdenum target. Women over 35 years old should go to the hospital for breast examination at least once a year.
