What tests are to be done to check on Breast health, especially to detect if the breast is free from breast cancer.

Question

HI Lybrate user,
For maintaining breast health healthy diet, nutrition and regular mammogram check ups is important.
Talk to your doctor about things that may put you at higher risk for the disease. For instance, your chances of getting it may go up if you smoke, drink alcohol, or have a family history of breast cancer.
Women who don't have children, or who have them after age 30, also have a higher risk. So do women who have their first period before age 12, go through menopause later than normal, or take certain hormone drugs during menopause for longer than 5 years.�
If you take birth control pills, it could slightly raise your breast cancer risk. Together with your doctor, you should consider all of the things that may raise your odds of getting the disease before you decide what kind of birth control to use.
