Let’s identify the Breast Cancer causes

By Dr Vikas Goswami 

Today, in this blog I am gonna discuss the breast cancer causes. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in India. Breast cells sometimes become abnormal in nature and these abnormal cells multiply and grow creating new cells in the breast. These cells which are malignant in nature can lead to serious health problems and may even be able to cause death. Women often ignore their health and found to be not aware of early signs and symptoms of breast cancer. At this stage we need to educate women around us be it your mother, your wife, your daughter or any other female friend or relative. Please warn them and educate them to take care of themselves.

Here, I have listed few causes of Breast cancer: 

1: Hereditary Factors - In spite of the fact that it has been realized that just 5 to 10 percent of harmful cells are inherited, several cases of ladies suffering from breast cancer have inherited them in the family. Thusly, doctors have decided not to disregard this factor in terms of investigating this disease in wake of finding a successful cure. 

2: Genetic Mutations - Rather than inherited genes, genetic mutations are perceived as one of the significant reasons for this infection. This one can be the result of different environmental variables, for example, radiation exposure, which happens when a lady previously had a treatment or therapy. Those ladies who went through any type of treatment

that required their chest area to be exposed to radiation are more likely to develop breast cancer; even it occurred at a tender age. The risk increases for the ladies who have had such treatment during their juvenile years. Although it is not guaranteed that this will surely lead to breast cancer but it is definitely considered as one of the causes for breast cancer.

3: Exposure to DES (diethylstilbestrol) - Pregnant ladies used to be administered with a medication called DES since it has been known to reduce the likelihood of premature delivery. But, recent studies discovered this causes the high risks of breast cancer for the pregnant ladies and the kid (particularly small girls) in the womb. 

4: Gender and Age - Doctors have proven that the risk of suffering from this disease progresses with your age. Accordingly, women above 50 years of age get a lion’s share of the tally for patients suffering from breast cancer. Gender could also be a cause for it, since women are 100 times more inclined to having breast cancer when compared with men. 

5: Use of Birth Control Pills - Ladies in their pre-menopausal stage who administer contraception pills are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer. This sort of risk however is known to create short term effects and the risk is fairly small. Since studies are going on, it is best to counsel your doctor before using any type of contraception pills.
