🤔5 Popular Misconceptions Leading to Misunderstanding! Causes of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among Thai women, ranking among the top in the country
However, there are quite a few misunderstandings about this disease. Let’s see what they are! And have you ever believed these too?
#The bigger the breasts, the higher the risk of breast cancer
Not always true. The size of the breasts does not directly relate to the occurrence of breast cancer
#Bras are a cause of breast cancer
Bras are not related to the cause of breast cancer. There is no study showing that constriction increases the risk of breast cancer
#Breast surgery increases the risk of breast cancer
Currently, most breast augmentations use silicone implants, which have been studied extensively and shown not to increase the risk of breast cancer #Men don’t get breast cancer
Men can also get breast cancer, but they have a lower risk than women
#Drinking soy milk #Soybean milk #Coconut oil #Increases the risk of breast cancer
Not true. Even though soy milk, soybean milk, and coconut oil have components similar to estrogen hormones in women, there is no evidence to support that these substances are causes of breast cancer
Therefore, women aged 35 should undergo screening through mammograms combined with ultrasounds once a year. If breast cancer is diagnosed and treated in its early stages, it will increase the chances of successful treatment.
