The thought of breast cancer can send shivers down your spine. It is a rather common form of cancer, which can lead to many complications and adverse effects. Moreover, it can affect women at any age, and sometimes it can affect teens. There are no definite causes of breast cancer in teens. However....
In general, yes it is safe. But there are exceptions based on the conditions. A woman who is developing breast cancer might be excreting small amounts of fluids from the nipples. A woman who is lactating (to feed babies) is also ‘leaking’ fluids. Now, whenever a fluid is exchanged between two bod....
Generally, women having their routine mammogram will receive a letter within one month with normal results. But if the doctor finds something suspicious, they’ll call you back, mostly within just 5 days, to take fresh pictures or other tests. Yes, that call may seem to be scary, but a suspicious fin....

There are several persistent internet rumours about potential causes of breast cancer. One is that wearing a bra, or wearing an underwire bra, causes the disease. The idea that bras may cause cancer was fuelled by the 1995 book called Dressed to Kill by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer. It claims that women who wear underwire bras for 12 hours a day have a much higher risk of developing breast cancer than women who do not wear bras. It also suggests that bras restrict the lymph system, which results in a build-up of toxins in the breasts. However, according to the American Cancer Society, there is no evidence that compression of the lymph nodes by bras cause breast cancer; in reality, body fluids travel up and into the underarm lymph nodes, not towards the underwire. Similarly, there is no sufficient evidence that any types of bras cause breast cancer.
