What is the breast - about the disease

Breast disease - is a disease of the breast, associated with hormonal imbalance of the body. When mastitis breast tissue unevenly sealed. It is a diffuse disease of the breast Diffuse breast disease - affects the whole breast .

Breast - is a mirror that reflects the general state of health. Breast tissue is sensitive to the so-called "hormonal swings" that run in a woman's body with the beginning of puberty and stop shortly after menopause. Swing those, in turn, are experiencing a significant influence on the part of a number of external and internal risk factors, of which there are many. The reasons for its appearance different - disease of the ovaries, adrenal glands, thyroid, pancreas, pituitary gland.

Why can occur

One of the first factors that can trigger the development of mastitis, can be called the abortion. But this is understandable. Once a woman becomes pregnant, the whole body begins to prepare for childbirth. Completely rebuilt all the hormones. Mammary glands begin to prepare for lactation. And suddenly it all roughly interrupted by abortion. The body does not forgive such jokes.

Sometimes a break from sexual activity can trigger the development of mastitis. In Italy, we conducted a study in the convents. It turned out that the hermit susceptible to breast cancer are more likely than peers who live a full life. So as the prevention of a disease can be recommended to establish a personal life, and even better - pregnancy and lactation.

Of paramount importance is the hereditary factor in the first place - is the presence of benign and malignant diseases in relatives on the maternal line. Higher risk of a woman is under stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis , Neurosis Neurosis - reaction to the nervous shock Depression. Prolonged mental stress is one of the major causative factors of occurrence of mastitis.

Finally, the serious consequences threatening injury breast cancer .  Dangerous even microtrauma, when the subway, the bus pressed, squeezed accidentally hit in the chest with an elbow or a bag - you need to develop the habit to protect the chest .  In addition, an important role is played by the laundry .  In no case do not wear underwear that pulls, presses, third or pricked .  Breast skin almost twice thinner than the face, because calls for a reverent attitude .  The bra should closely match the size - underwear in any case there should be little .  Tight bra can disrupt blood circulation, which often provokes the development of breast diseases .  Sculpting effect has underwear made of elastic fabric, but it should be strictly in size, no less! Discard the push-ups with metal bones .  Tight underwear on metal bones, although very tempting, tightens the chest and leads to microtraumas .  So that if the bones, only plastic or whalebone - they do not violate the microcirculation .
