Common risk factors for endometrial cancer

Cancer has always been a word that people are most reluctant to see but difficult to avoid in their lives. There are many factors in life that may cause cancer in humans. Which factors are more worthy of people's attention?

Smoking: Smoking is associated with 80 percent of lung cancer in American women. It also increases the risk of uterine cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer and oral cancer.

Age: People over 55 years old account for 77% of diagnosed cancer cases. Aging of human cells, bad behavior and external environment can increase the risk of cancer.

Sexually transmitted diseases: Human papillomavirus and hepatitis B, which are linked to certain cancers.

Obesity: Obesity increases the levels of multiple hormones in the body, providing a breeding ground for cancer.

Drinking: One glass of wine a day increases the risk of breast cancer, and excessive drinking is even more dangerous.

Diet: Red meat and processed meat increase the risk of colon cancer. Sweetened beverages increase the risk of obesity, which increases the risk of cancer.

No exercise: 5.0 points. Regular exercise can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and endometrial cancer. It is recommended to exercise moderately for 150 minutes or vigorously for 75 minutes per week.

Contraceptive pills: Contraceptive pills containing estrogen increase the risk of ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. If you stop taking contraceptive pills, the risk of cancer will decrease.

Radiation: Radiation is everywhere in our life. Medical examinations with stronger radiation are more dangerous, but necessary examinations are also indispensable.

Stress: Long-term stress can affect the immune system and DNA repair, which is not conducive to cancer prevention.

Mobile phone: Using the mobile phone at close range is harmful to your health, and hands-free mobile phone may be more helpful in preventing cancer.

Bisphenol A: Several animal experiments have shown that bisphenol A (mostly contained in plastic products) increases the risk of cancer, so it is best to avoid contact.

Starting to smoke soon after waking up will significantly increase the risk of lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Statistical results show that there is a very significant difference in the risk of cancer between smoking within half an hour after waking up and smoking within an hour. The time of smoking after waking up has no correlation with the amount of smoking on weekdays. The time of smoking after waking up is an independent risk factor for lung cancer and head and neck cancer, and is not affected by the amount of smoking. Therefore, smokers must quit the habit of smoking a cigarette in the morning for the sake of their own and their family's health, and it is best to quit smoking completely.
