Men who like to drink this kind of "water" are prone to breast cancer

Many people think that breast cancer is only a patent for women (women's food), but it is not.

It is reported that the number of male breast cancer patients is increasing year by year, and one in every 100 breast cancer patients is a male. According to Liu Juntian, deputy chief physician of the breast department of Tianjin Cancer Hospital, the increase in male breast cancer patients is mainly related to excessive drinking, taking certain estrogen-containing drugs and testicular dysfunction.

According to experts, alcohol can easily damage the liver's metabolic function. The liver is responsible for breaking down and excreting estrogen in the male body. Excessive drinking will eventually lead to the accumulation of estrogen in the male body, causing breast hypertrophy and increasing the risk of breast cancer.

Statistics show that men who like to drink are 15% more likely to suffer from breast hypertrophy than normal people. Testicular dysfunction and taking estrogen-containing drugs can also lead to excessive estrogen levels in the body, causing breast hypertrophy.

Liu Juntian said that because men's chests are flatter and have less breast tissue than women, even if a tumor is only 2 cm to 3 cm in size, cancer cells will invade the skin, muscles, axillary lymph nodes and other organs of the body in a relatively short period of time.

Therefore, the spread of cancer cells in men after they are diagnosed with breast cancer usually only takes a few months. In addition, people have a poor awareness of preventing male breast cancer, so many patients are already in the late stage when they are discovered.

Experts remind that if men are confused about their enlarged breasts, they can identify them by touching them. Whether a man's protruding breasts are a disease or fat accumulation, it feels different to the touch.

If the breast feels lumpy or has lumps, it may be that there is an abundance of mammary glands in the breast and it is necessary to have an examination, especially for middle-aged and elderly men. Once a breast lump is found, you should go to a specialist hospital for examination in time to avoid misdiagnosis and delay diagnosis and treatment.
