Breast Cancer Causes: Are You Aware of the Risk Factors?
Trusted Care by Lapropod, Tirunelveli
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women across the world. While it is a serious condition, early detection and awareness can save lives. But the big question is — do you know what causes breast cancer? Understanding the risk factors can help you take action before it's too late. If you're in Tirunelveli, Lapropod is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow out of control. These cells may form a tumor that can be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. Breast cancer can start in different parts of the breast, including the ducts and lobules.
Common Causes and Risk Factors of Breast Cancer
Now let’s break down the main causes and risk factors that increase your chance of developing breast cancer:
1. Age Matters
As women get older, the risk of breast cancer increases. Most breast cancers are diagnosed in women over the age of 50.
2. Family History
If your mother, sister, or daughter has had breast cancer, your chances may be higher. Inherited genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 also increase risk.
3. Hormonal Factors
Starting your period before age 12
Starting menopause after age 55
Taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for many years
All of these may increase exposure to estrogen, which is linked to a higher risk.
4. Lifestyle Choices
Your daily habits play a major role:
Lack of physical activity
Being overweight or obese after menopause
Drinking alcohol regularly
Smoking
Small changes can make a big difference. At Lapropod, we guide patients with simple lifestyle tips to reduce their risks.
5. Previous Breast Conditions
Women who have had certain types of non-cancerous breast diseases may also be at a slightly higher risk.
6. Radiation Exposure
If you had chest radiation therapy (for another illness) during your younger years, your risk of breast cancer could be higher later in life.
7. Not Having Children or Late Pregnancy
Women who never had a full-term pregnancy or had their first baby after 30 may have a slightly higher risk compared to those who had children earlier.
Can Breast Cancer Be Prevented?
While you can’t control all risk factors, you can reduce your risk by:
Exercising regularly
Eating a healthy diet
Maintaining a healthy weight
Avoiding alcohol and tobacco
Doing regular self-exams and medical check-ups
