Medical expert and director of SberLife Insurance Natalya Tarasova spoke in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta about the most common misconceptions regarding breast cancer.
According to the expert, the very first myth is the influence of heredity. According to statistics, only 10 percent of diseases are associated with hereditary predisposition. Also among the misconceptions is the connection between illness and age. Unfortunately, such oncology occurs in people of various age groups.
It is also wrong to think that removing breasts will protect against future cancer. Another misconception is the impact of injuries and an uncomfortable bra. Incorrectly chosen underwear itself cannot cause disease, but it impairs blood circulation. And trauma to the breast is more likely to lead to the appearance of a cyst, but not a malignant tumor.
And the last, most dangerous myth is the treatment of cancer with herbal preparations. Any medicine must be agreed upon with the attending physician, says Natalya Tarasova, since herbal remedies may not combine well with traditional treatment. According to the expert, you can minimize the risk of getting sick by eliminating smoking, alcohol, excess weight and chronic stress, adding physical activity and a balanced diet.
Previously, the St. Petersburg Diary talked about the benefits of meditation for recovery after ARVI.
