Beauty and health care are the fashions pursued by some women. However, if you do not seek medical treatment when you have physical symptoms and are obsessed with health care, you may delay the best opportunity and cause serious consequences.

Recently, the Breast Surgery Department of the Eastern Campus of Ningbo Li Huili Hospital received a patient, Ms. Wang, who had a breast lump and had not received formal treatment for a long time. She was finally diagnosed with advanced breast cancer.

Ms. Wang is 40 years old. When she first came to see a doctor, the doctor found that her entire left breast was swollen, like a hard ball. Part of the skin had ulcerated, with pus on the surface, and there was a foul smell. The patient was in pain. Already, in excruciating pain. Director Wu Weizhu, who received the diagnosis, judged based on his rich clinical experience that the situation was not optimistic, so he quickly conducted further examinations. Judging from the symptoms and manifestations, it was very likely that it was breast cancer.

Sure enough, the breast mass puncture biopsy and comprehensive examination confirmed that the patient was diagnosed with left breast cancer with axillary lymph node metastasis and lung metastasis. The opportunity for radical surgery has been missed, and further tumor progression can only be controlled through comprehensive treatment.

Taking the test results, Ms. Wang’s family almost collapsed.

After asking the patient's medical history, we found out that Ms. Wang found nodules and lumps in her breasts during a physical examination more than a year ago. She had always been afraid of seeing a doctor, and she happened to see a promotion in a beauty salon saying that it could be done. After eliminating the breast lumps through breast massage, I quickly made a package for myself and went to a beauty institution regularly for essential oil massage and breast cupping. I did not seek medical treatment until my breasts ruptured and the pain became unbearable.

"I really regret it. I originally thought that doing breast health care could eliminate breast lumps, but I didn't expect that my ignorance would harm myself." When thinking of her own experience, Ms. Wang couldn't help but shed tears of regret.

"Since I started working, I have encountered many patients who delay the best treatment opportunity because they blindly believe in breast health care." Director Wu Weizhu said.

Director Wu reminded all female friends: If you can understand the common sense of breast health and seek medical treatment promptly when you find breast lumps, many breast cancers are completely curable. It is natural for women to love beauty, but to truly love yourself, you must start with breast self-examination and regular breast physical examinations in regular hospitals.

The best time for breast self-examination is on the 7th to 10th day of menstruation (menopausal women can choose a fixed day per month). It can be performed while taking a bath or changing clothes. Follow the "look, touch, and squeeze (squeeze) Perform self-examination in the order of pinching the areola and nipple).

If you find sudden breast asymmetry, nipple deviation, nipple retraction, breast or armpit lumps, breast skin abnormalities, nipple bleeding, or discharge (blood stains or stains on underwear), you should go to a regular hospital for timely treatment. For women over 40 years old, it is recommended to have a clinical breast examination in a regular hospital at least once a year.
