　　Safety advice:

　　1. Women during marriage and pregnancy should pay attention to breast self-examination to reduce breast disease occurrence. Self-examination method: Inspection mainly includes two methods: visual inspection and palpation. Take off your shirt and check whether your breasts are symmetrical on both sides in front of the full-length mirror. skin Whether the luster and color are normal, whether there is venous dilation and edema. Then raise your arms to see whether the breasts on both sides are at the same level, whether the areolas are the same color, whether there are dot-like depressions in the skin, whether there are orange peel-like changes, whether there are regional depressions (dimples), whether the nipple skin is peeled off or eroded, whether the nipples are raised or retracted. Then bend over and let your breasts droop slightly to see if the breasts on both sides are symmetrical. Finally, pinch your waist with both hands to contract your pectoralis major muscles to see if the shape of your breasts is normal. During palpation, you can lie on the bed, stretch the arm to be tested, use a pillow to raise the shoulder to be tested, and touch the breast with the flat part of the fingers on the opposite side. The fingers should be spread out together, and the palms and fingers should be in a plane. Touch the breast (do not pinch), and look from bottom to top, from inside to outside to see if there is any thickening or lump. If a lump is touched, determine the size and hardness of the lump, whether it is mobile, whether there is tenderness, and whether it is adhering to the surrounding skin. Check whether there are any abnormalities in the nipple, whether there is discharge or bleeding, etc. Use your fingers to check the armpits and axillary lymph nodes in sequence under the armpits. Under normal circumstances, axillary lymph nodes cannot be touched. If lymph nodes are felt in the armpit, special attention should be paid to their size, location, number, hardness, whether they are mobile, whether there is tenderness, whether they are adherent to the skin, etc.

　　2. Pay attention to protect the breasts from injury and squeezing in daily life: Pay attention to your posture. When you lean on or lie on the table, your breasts are at the fulcrum of squeezing. If you are pressed by hard objects such as the edge of the table for nearly 1.5 hours, it can interfere with the normal metabolism inside the breast glands and cause adverse consequences. Correct posture: The upper body is basically straight, and the chest is 10 cm away from the desk. This balances the tension of the chest and back muscles and stimulates the brain to be slightly and regularly excited. This is very beneficial to relieve chest fatigue, improve desk work efficiency, and protect the physiological activity of the breasts. Move your upper limbs appropriately to do some exercises such as chest expansion, deep breathing, shaking hands, turning wrists, etc. It can activate meridians, promote qi and blood, effectively pull the breasts and surrounding skin to participate in movements, and prevent the "aging" of breast tissue, especially the breasts. Massage your breasts: Breast massage for 10 minutes can enhance the coordination of chest muscles, dilate blood vessels, reduce blood flow stasis, and speed up the return of venous blood.

　　3. Signs of breast cancer: breast lumps, local breast pain, nipple discharge, nipple erosion, changes in breast skin, superficial lymph node enlargement (swelling of lymph nodes in armpits and clavicle, especially lumps with hard texture and poor mobility should be suspected of breast cancer), changes in breast contour (normal breasts have a complete arc contour, if the arc is defective or abnormal, it is likely to be an early manifestation of breast cancer), localized thickening of breast glands (the breast feels slightly thicker than the surrounding tissue when touched and the size is difficult to distinguish, especially clinical Patients diagnosed with hyperplasia) and abnormal estrogen levels (the reproductive period and menopause are the stages with high incidence of female breast cancer, and women who have used estrogen replacement therapy for more than 10 years should closely monitor breast changes).

　　4. The main treatments for breast cancer include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and biological therapy. Surgery can remove the primary tumor, and radiotherapy can enhance the effect of local treatment. In early-stage breast cancer, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and biological therapy can eliminate micro-metastatic lesions that have spread throughout the body and improve the cure rate. The main treatment methods for advanced breast cancer are chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and biological therapy. No one treatment method is better than another treatment method, or a certain treatment method is given priority. Currently, it is believed that comprehensive treatment should be used for breast cancer. In other words, only by rationally comprehensively using existing treatment methods can the best therapeutic effect be achieved.

　　5. Precautions after breast cancer surgery:

　　(1) Pay attention to rest, keep a comfortable mood, take appropriate activities, combine work and rest, and participate in outdoor activities appropriately to increase the body's immunity.

　　(2) Pay attention to dietary nutrition, make reasonable adjustments, and eat less spicy, fried and pickled foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

　　(3) Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the incision clean and dry, avoid scratching, wear soft, cotton and breathable underwear, and change it frequently.

　　(4) Regularly take chest X-rays, abdominal B-ultrasounds, isotope scans, electroencephalograms and CT examinations after surgery to determine whether there are metastatic lesions in the lungs, liver, bones, brain, etc. for timely treatment. Special emphasis is placed on patients with breast cancer on one side. The risk of breast cancer on the contralateral side is greatly increased. Therefore, the opposite side should be checked regularly, such as contralateral breast examination every six months, mammography once a year, etc. If there is any abnormality, active treatment can reduce the risk to the lowest point.

　　(5) If you cannot get pregnant within 5 years, couples can have sexual intercourse and self-examine your breasts 7 to 10 days after each menstruation.
