Breast cancer can be affected by males

Professor Dr. Md. Yakub Ali

Men can also be affected by breast cancer, thinking that no man's thinking is past. Our firm belief is that only women are affected by breast cancer. That is why no man matters very much to him. Regular breasts do not check. This attitude brings death. Many people think that if someone in the family has cancer, only someone else in the family can be attacked.

According to the World Health Organization's 2014 World Cancer Report, according to the rate at which the cancer is currently present, by the year 2030, one in every five males will have the same tendency for cancer before 75 years of age. One in eight people is feared to die of this disease. Normally men's breast cancer risk increases. Young people are also not free from this risk.

But for what reason men suffer from breast cancer, there is no correct explanation. If a female relative of the family is a breast cancer, then there may be men's cancer. Even many people have breast cancer due to gene disease 'cleanifilta'. The disease occurs due to an extra x chromosomes in the body of a man. That is why men's breast cancer risk increased by 15 to 50 percent.

Symptoms: If breast cancer is covered, the skin that covers the breast, changes its appearance. The skin is red, curly, fold or groin, changes in nipple color, becomes reddish or penetrates inside and nourishes the juice from the nipple.

Check yourself: If there is any change or stiffness on the breasts or any type of juice coming out of Nipal, then do not delay the doctor directly. Of course, it is not possible to think that these signs will be cancerous. But it's not good to miss. In the case of the treatment of this disease, women like men, just like men.
