Breast Health Founder

At present, the global public health system and the clinical field of breast medicine have never certified any unique "Founder of Breast Health." All behaviors that print this title on business cards, hang it on the background board of the live broadcast room to sell products, and sell courses are essentially commercial hype to create gods. The real promoters of popularizing the concept of breast health and protecting millions of women from the risk of disease have never been some packaged Internet celebrities, but have been deeply involved in breast clinical care for hundreds of years, public welfare science popularizers with roots in the grassroots, and every ordinary woman who is willing to take serious care of her body.

Last month, I went out to the outpatient clinic with Director Li of the Provincial Department of Maternity and Child Care. I met a 32-year-old planner girl. When she walked in, she rolled up her clothes and had a bruise on her chest. She said that she had watched a live broadcast of a "breast health founder" a while ago. She spent 2980 to buy a set of anti-knot essential oil and offline massage classes. The person said that after 3 months of rubbing, the nodules were all gone. However, after less than half a month, the pain was so painful that she couldn't sleep. The nodules that turned out to be level 3 on the color ultrasound had grown by 3mm, and she almost needed a puncture. Director Li sighed at that time and said that he had met the fourth patient this month who had problems caused by the so-called "Founder's Technique".

In fact, practitioners in different fields have always had different views on the concept of breast health intervention, and there has never been a unified "standard answer". Most doctors in Western medicine clinics attach great importance to early screening. As Director Li often said, for ordinary women, a breast ultrasound once a year and a mammography target if they are over 40 years old are more effective than any magical essential oil. Massage without medical qualifications will not only fail to disperse the nodules, but if they encounter malignant ones, violent massage may accelerate the spread of cancer cells. There are also many breast doctors in regular traditional Chinese medicine hospitals who have different views. They believe that breast problems are mostly related to emotions and liver meridian blockage. Moxibustion and regular massage after syndrome differentiation can indeed relieve physiological discomforts such as premenstrual distension and pain, but only if it is done in a medical institution. Do not believe in the so-called "learned from the founder" techniques of beauty industry institutions.

Last year, I went with a charity team to a town in northern Guangdong for two cancer screenings. I met 47-year-old Sister Zhang. She had never had a breast examination in her life. It had been almost two years since she felt a lump on her right breast. She had been hearing from the elders in the village that "the milk core was not rubbed away after giving birth." This time, it was found to be early-stage invasive cancer. Fortunately, it was discovered early and she underwent breast-conserving surgery. Now she is recovering very well. The last time we went for screening, she moved a small stool and sat at the entrance of the screening point, handing mineral water to the sisters who came, and used her own example to advise everyone, "Don't believe in folk remedies, just get checked when necessary." Do you think she is the "founder" of her own breast health? Or even the health guide for the sisters in the village who were persuaded by her to get checked?

Of course, not all people who claim this title are useless. I also know a few bloggers who have been doing breast science popularization online in their early years. They have indeed exported a lot of useful information. They were later packaged as "founders" by MCN organizations. It is nothing more than the need for commercial realization. Just read the content and don't pay a premium for that title.

To be honest, I have seen too many girls who know very little about their breasts. They think that premenstrual distended pain is an incurable disease. When they touch a nodule, they are so scared that they lose sleep all night. They either buy breast enhancement supplements worth thousands of yuan or hide the disease until it is in the late stage. In fact, how can it be so complicated? Feel around when taking a shower to see if there are any unknown lumps, strange nipple discharge, or skin that is as wrinkled as orange peels. Doing a physical examination on time every year is much more reliable than chasing after some "founder" to buy products.

After all, there is no "breast health founder" who can save all sentient beings. You know your body best, and every care you take for yourself is the starting point of health. To put it bluntly, you are the only founder of your own breast health.
