This is pure myth! One man in a thousand males is diagnosed with breast cancer. Although this number is not overwhelming, men delay check-ups and thus their condition worsens and may go beyond treatment. Men in the age group of 60 to 70 are more prone to breast cancer. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the chest around the areola, which can lead to bleeding. Hence, go for a checkup as soon as you notice any abnormal outgrowth. The physician may suggest you chemotherapy or hormone therapy which can cure you fully.

You are advised to use minimal make-up to make sure that the cosmetics you use are free of cadmium and lead. Regular check-up of your breasts is very essential to ensure you are in the safe zone since early detection highly increases the chances of your recovery and survival.

Breast biopsy, mammography and breast ultrasound are the usual diagnostic tests known to screen breast cancer successfully.

Breastfeeding isn t only healthy for your baby but also carries several health benefits for the mother. When you breastfeed, your body undergoes several hormonal changes which delay menstrual periods. This reduces the secretion of hormone oestrogen, which promotes breast cancer cell growth. Breastfeeding also prevents ovulation which in turn lowers your chances of ovarian cancer. Regular breast check-up after the age of 30-35 is very essential since breast cancer can also develop without any symptom. Early detection is very essential to increase your chances of recovery.
