Breast Cancer: Understanding the Causes and Recognizing the

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide — and Raipur is no exception. At Sai Baba Women’s Hospital, we believe that awareness is the first step toward prevention and early diagnosis.

What Causes Breast Cancer?

While the exact cause of breast cancer isn’t always known, several risk factors have been identified:

  • Age: Risk increases as you grow older, especially after 40.
  • Family History: Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer may have a higher risk.
  • Genetic Mutations: Inherited mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 can increase the likelihood.
  • Hormonal Factors: Early menstruation, late menopause, and hormone replacement therapy can contribute.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, lack of physical activity, smoking, and alcohol use may also play a role.

Common Symptoms of Breast Cancer

Early detection can save lives. Watch out for the following signs:

  • A lump in the breast or underarm
  • Changes in the size or shape of the breast
  • Dimpling or puckering of the breast skin
  • Inverted nipple or nipple discharge
  • Redness, flaking, or thickening of the nipple or breast skin

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay seeking medical advice.
