Oh, I'm afraid!
The nature of such excitement, in general, is understandable: according to the data of campaigns against breast cancer, this disease is in the first place among all oncological diseases in women. But in this case, only 2% of cases of breast cancer can not be cured, while the rest 98%, diagnosed at an early stage, fully recover! So the main thing is never give up. And do not be afraid of breast cancer! Do not be afraid of self-diagnosis and regular examination at the mammalogist. The current methods of treatment are much more effective than before. So what is this regular examination?
Come to the touch
Self-examination of the breast is carried out in several stages, starting with a visual inspection. Reasons for contacting a mammologist should be a change in the shape of the breast, its asymmetry (with the exception of congenital!), Bumps and hollows on the skin, persistent itching, enlarged and swollen veins, bloody or colorless discharge from the nipples and their sunken form. Even more revealing are the results of independent palpation (palpation) of the breast. Conduct a study, lying, laying a pillow under your shoulder, and then standing, laying his hand behind his head. Examine the chest with the pads of three fingers: the index, middle and nameless. Start from the underarm area and move spirally to the nipple. Repeat the same thing, moving vertically from the inner edge of the chest to the armpit. On any "balls", seals and "peas" found under the skin in the very near future, inform the mammologist.
The knot will untie ...
Even if you have found something in yourself, the main thing is not to panic: stress negatively affects the entire body, undermining the protective properties of immunity. In addition, under the guise of a tumor, mastectomy can be masked simply by swelling of the mammary gland that has not had time to descend after menstruation, or mastopathy. It's impossible to underestimate its role in the development of breast cancer: although mastopathy is a benign disease that occurs against the background of imbalance of hormones, but if there are no measures to treat it, complications can occur. Despite the abundance of drugs from mastopathy, they are forbidden to prescribe themselves: the organism does not forgive jokes with hormones, and in a desire to help it can very easily harm itself. Doctors are increasingly prescribing herbal preparations that do not contain synthetic hormones: for example, "Mastodinon" on the basis of the extract of vitex sacred. In addition to the fact that such remedies gently restore the natural balance of hormones, they also prevent the development of pathology in the mammary glands, relieve pain and reduce the level of anxiety and irritability that usually accompanies premenstrual syndrome. In other words, they give you psychological comfort and normal state of health. But only some herbal remedies prevent and treat mastopathy. It is important to review your eating habits, since the quality of food affects the overall metabolism of the body and the work of the hormonal system. Reduce the amount of animal fats in the daily diet and increase the intake of fiber contained in fruits and vegetables. Especially useful are products containing vitamins A, E and C: carrots, vegetable oil, broccoli, asparagus, citrus fruits and corresponding vitamin complexes. Drink more liquid - up to two liters per day, naturally purifying the body of toxins that provoke its aging. Increase the consumption of foods rich in iodine (kelp, seafood), which regulate the work of the thyroid gland - the main producer of hormones.
Breast does not like:
• hypothermia and colds, as they can provoke inflammation of the mammary glands (mastitis);
• neglected gynecological diseases and diseases of the thyroid gland, directly affecting the production of hormones responsible for the correct metabolism;
• tobacco smoke and alcohol; nicotine slows blood circulation and metabolic processes in skin cells;
• bumps and bruises, which can cause pathology when the healing is poor;
• tight clothes; especially narrow bras on bones, capable of deforming the breast;
• low-calorie diets and, conversely, nutrition with a predominance of fats, as they directly affect hormonal metabolism;
• abortions, due to which the program of "reorganization" of the gland is interrupted (its structure changes, new cells are intensively manufactured), which can give a catastrophic failure of the organism.
Beautifully live
In caring for breast health, do not forget about its beauty, especially since well-groomed, evocative men's looks décolletage zone no less well helps to combat stress, increasing our self-esteem. If there are no contraindications to the mammologist, regularly do exercises to strengthen the large pectoral muscles of the back: bench press, push-ups from the floor, dilution of hands with dumbbells. This will create additional support for the bust and will prevent it from sagging, which may be due to age-related atrophy of the glandular tissue, stretch marks after delivery and feeding, and a sharp weight loss. It is also important to regularly use professional "maintenance" cosmetics. "The possibility of cosmetic effects on the shape of the breast is based on their ability to restore and strengthen the skin, improve blood and lymph circulation in tissues, eliminate stagnation and eliminate toxins. Currently, the most effective skin care lines are bust based on phytoestrogens, with the content of hyaluronic acid, complexes of amino acids, vitamins. Breast health directly depends on our ability to cope with stress! Otherwise, the hormonal background suffers, and conditions for the growth of cancer cells can be created. Therefore, it is important to find ways of relaxation:
1. Learn the rule of three questions: What good can I learn from the stress situation? What conclusions can be drawn? How can I correct a situation by acting effectively, based on analysis, not emotion? This technique will allow in the future personally for you to reduce the number of stressful situations.
2. Think positively. To do this, start praising yourself! Usually we do not notice our merits for the day. But in vain. Every night before going to sleep, remember at least 5 points, for which you can thank yourself and get satisfaction from the work done.
3.Use the visualization method to leave the problem of the day far behind. Taking a shower, direct a stream of water of comfortable temperature to your neck and imagine how water washes away the entire daytime negative, and your body, like a vessel, is cleaned of black contents, gradually filling up with white.
4. Look for your own ways of relaxation. It can be sports, sauna, sauna, meditation, massage.
