These factors will greatly increase the risk of breast cancer risk.
Psychological factors

The long-term adverse emotional stimuli, the body prone to rhythm disorders, neuro-endocrine system dysfunction, in turn will lead to an imbalance within the environment, weakened immunity and prone to lead to cancer.
Environmental Factors
Long-term exposure to harmful substances, such as chemical substances, physical radiation; long-term smoking, drinking and other bad habits, and heredity are all risk factors for breast cancer cause.
The best time to grasp the self-examination
Self-examination is the prevention and early detection of breast cancer, one of the most basic methods. Conduct regular breast self-examination is to better the situation usually familiar with their breasts, only in this way, when an exception occurs when changes in a timely manner heighten our vigilance.
Breast self-test should be once a month, generally speaking, the best time is after the menstrual cramps 9-11 days. Because these days the effects of estrogen on breast minimum, breast relatively soft, easy to find lesions. Menopausal women to have a fixed day of each month to conduct self-examination.
Touch the correct way is: use the palm or fingers, feet close together in order to press pulp lightly touch the breast, careful not to raise a finger, grasp, pinch, will be very easy to mistake the normal breast tissue is a tumor.
Experts remind that, in the following three kinds of circumstances under which the breast self-inspection, the more easily possible:
One bath. In particular, after the shower gel coated, hand easily move the skin lubricated. Smoothing gentle hands will move, checking every part of the breast. Check the left internal mammary right hand, left hand checks right breast, touch-whether by breast lumps, nodules or thickening.
Second, in the mirror before the examination. Mirror hands drooping on both sides of the body, and then his hands slowly on the move too far to observe changes in the breast, including the availability of swollen part, with or without skin or nipple retraction Weiao. Then, hands akimbo, observe whether bilateral breast symmetry.
3, lying supine, shoulder a little booster. Be split evenly between the hand soft reduction of the skin, from the outside the top of the breast start right breast in a clockwise direction, left internal mammary to anti-clockwise, starting from the periphery of the breast, and gradually to the heart, until the nipple to be checked. Note that touch the opposite armpit, check the caudate lobe of the breast for lumps. Finally, in the thumb and index finger squeezing the nipple between the observation of whether the light nipple discharge.
Periodic inspection of the inspection method selection
On the incidence of breast cancer showed increasing trend year by year, the death rates are declining. Why? In addition to the continuous progress of the treatment techniques, the early census contributed.
Through early screening, can be found that those who have no symptoms, a very small and did not breast cancer metastasis, which is precisely the purpose of early diagnosis of breast cancer.
Now commonly used in breast cancer screening methods include: breast self-examination, doctor examination, ultrasound examination, breast molybdenum target X-ray, magnetic resonance scan (MRI), tissue biopsy and so on.
The doctor's advice, young women under the age of 35, choice B ultrasonic examination, because the younger women's breast structure is relatively compact, B-ultrasonic examination of the advantage is the ability to more clearly identify those due to dense glands molybdenum difficult to find a small mass , small nodules, as well as to distinguish a cystic mass or substance, and non-radioactive, convenient and economic, is now routine inspection and review of the principal means. Women over 35 years of age would be best once a year breast molybdenum X-ray, mammography can find some hand's reach, as well as B-can not find the non-structural mass of the calcification and breast disorders, in general, can seize up 85% to 90% of breast cancer. For the B-difficult to distinguish small nodules can be further MRI MRI is characterized by a comprehensive exploration, less missed lesions, sensitivity, specificity high.
Learn to distinguish the nature of nipple discharge
Nipple discharge is the most common symptoms of breast disease, one of the reasons for its occurrence Yousheng rational, and also sick rational, and may even be one of the manifestations of breast cancer. Experts point out that for the nipple discharge, they do not too nervous and can not be taken lightly, the key is to distinguish the nature of the discharge.
