INDONESIAN EYE, JAKARTA – Breast cancer is a deadly disease. There are several triggers for this disease.
The number of women with breast cancer, both inpatient and outpatient, is the highest in Indonesia, at 28.7 percent.
The causes of breast cancer vary. Here are some of them.
1. Hereditary Factors
A person in a direct lineage has cancer, so he is at high risk of developing the same disease. However, people who are descendants of cancer sufferers do not always automatically become cancer sufferers. However, cancer cells in the body are more active than other people. Therefore, extra precautions must be taken.
2. Have History Breast cancer
Furthermore, the cause of breast cancer is someone who has previously detected breast cancer. He has a greater risk of getting the same disease again.
3. Unhealthy Lifestyle
Breast cancer can also attack someone because of an unhealthy lifestyle. Examples of an unhealthy lifestyle are eating carelessly, smoking, consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. Lack of rest can also be a trigger.
4. Childbirth at Too Old Age
For women giving birth at a too old age is as dangerous as getting pregnant at a too young age. It would be very dangerous for a woman to give birth over the age of 35. The reason is at that age the body’s immune system has begun to decline and hormonal conditions have changed.
5. Having a lump in the breast
If you feel that something has changed in your body, such as a lump in your breast and it hurts, you should immediately go to a specialist to have your condition checked. It’s not necessarily a lump is cancer, but it never hurts to check with a doctor to make sure.
