Men who do this excessively are more likely to develop breast cancer!

Many people think that breast cancer is only a disease for women, but it is not true. In theory, breast cancer is caused by the appearance of malignant tumor tissue in breast cells. Men also have breast tissue, so they are also likely to develop breast cancer. However, due to differences in physiological structures, women are much more likely to develop breast cancer than men. It is precisely because of this misconception that "men will not develop breast cancer" that male friends lose their vigilance and do not discover the disease until the late stage of cancer, thus missing the best time for treatment.

Factors that induce male breast cancer generally include genetic factors and acquired factors. Among breast cancer patients, about 20% of patients have relatives in their family suffering from similar diseases, thus causing genetic factors, which is an important cause of male breast cancer. But more people get sick due to acquired reasons. According to experts, 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 metabolic function of the liver, and the liver is responsible for the decomposition and excretion of estrogen in the male body. Excessive drinking will eventually lead to the accumulation of estrogen in the body, causing breast hypertrophy and increasing the risk of breast cancer. Liver problems may also lead to male breast cancer. The liver plays an important role in sex hormone metabolism because it produces binding proteins that carry hormones in the blood. These binding proteins can affect the activity of hormones. Men with poor livers, such as patients with cirrhosis, have low levels of male hormones and high levels of female hormones in their bodies. Therefore, they are relatively more likely to suffer from gynecomastia or breast cancer.

Statistics show that men who like to drink are 15% more likely to have 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. Men can tell whether there is a problem with their breasts by touching them. Whether a man's breast protrusion is a disease or fat accumulation, it feels different. If the breast feels lumpy or has lumps, it may be that there are abundant mammary glands in the breast, and it is necessary to check it out, especially for middle-aged and elderly men. Once a breast lump is found, they should go to a specialist hospital for examination in time to avoid misdiagnosis and delay diagnosis and treatment.
