Myths about breast cancer Nowadays, due to poor lifestyle and diet habits, the risk of cancer and heart diseases is increasing rapidly. Their risk increases not only in the elderly but also in the young. Both of these diseases are fatal, so it is important to be aware of them to avoid them. If these diseases are identified in time, they can also be treated. However, nowadays, due to many misunderstandings, most people start ignoring these symptoms, which can worsen the problems later.
One such misconception is that women don’t have to worry much about breast cancer and heart disease. They are at lower risk. Let us know the answer…
Myth: Women who adopt a healthy lifestyle do not get breast cancer.
Do : Doctors say that nothing can reduce the risk of breast cancer. Any woman can be at risk of breast cancer. You should be careful about this and avoid smoking and eating fast food.
Myth: Women should worry more about breast cancer
Do : Breast cancer can affect not only women but also men. The risk of breast cancer is higher in women than in men. Of all cancers combined, 0.6% of breast cancer can occur in men. This means that breast cancer is quite rare in men. In such a situation, it is fair to say that the risk of breast cancer is higher in women.
Myth: Women shouldn’t worry about heart disease
Do : According to health experts, heart disease can affect both men and women. The symptoms may be different in both cases, but both should be vigilant. It is also true that the risk of heart attack is lower in women until the age of 40, but once menopause begins, their risk of heart attack or heart disease increases. Since women stay at home, they are at a higher risk of heart attack than men.
