A modern lifestyle of women nowadays could not be anything, but party, and if it is something that describes yourself, please keep in mind that you might be at risk of Breast Cancer higher than those not drinking by 15 percent. The interesting question is what is a limit of drinking so that we can be aware of the risk. As mentioned, in this article from Phyathai Hospital will be the answer for you.
Why alcohol can contribute to the Breast Cancer?
Professor Wallace said that the level of risk increased by alcohol drinking whereas the acetaldehyde caused the change of DNA sequence, which leaded to the growth of cancer. In fact, the relation between alcohol and Breast Cancer has been found since 2006.
The more you drink … the more Breast Cancer “risk” you get
The study found that women who have about 3 drinks a week means that 1 serving of that drink is equal to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of whiskey. However, if compares to women who do not drink at all, this can contribute drinkers more risks of Breast Cancer by going up to 15%. Nevertheless, those having drink more than 10 grams each time have 7 percent-risk increasing.
Obesity and High Fat Cause The risk of Breast Cancer
Apart from alcohol drinking, there are many results from researches said “obesity” or women with “high fat” also at risk of Breast Cancer. In addition, researchers have said that reducing calories of fat or having them less than 20-30% a day may help protect all women from the Breast Cancer.
Estrogen Hormone … another factor increasing the risk of Breast Cancer
Many researches has confirmed that the “estrogen hormone” of women is associated with the chance of Breast Cancer. Those who are in the risk group are as follows
- Females who start their first menstruations before age 12 or have menopauses after age 55
- Those who never have children or have their first childs after the age of 30
- Women with short menstruation or longer than average about 26-29 days
- Who used to undergo hormone replacement therapy more than 5 years.
Therefore, if you usually have drinking habit but still, any abnormality is not found, keep in mind and do not neglect about it. Receiving Mammogram every year can protect you from a disease as early detection helps cure the Breast Cancer faster.
