Around the world, October is recognised as breast cancer awareness month.
Many women – and men – have lost their lives to the disease, resulting in multiple organisations and movements alike doing everything they can to help people prevent the abnormal cells growing.
What begins as a simple cell, which divides and multiplies at an uncontrollable rate, can have a serious effect on your life. According to Health Renewal:
There are two types of tumours, they can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Breast cancerous tumours usually grow very slowly. It is shocking to note that scientists believe that by the time a tumour is large enough to be felt as a lump, it may have been growing for as long as 10 years already.
A national institution, Health Renewal offers a holistic internal support system which can benefit your body and assist you with preventative measures. When you make an appointment to see one of their doctors, you will go through a careful consultation which includes blood tests and a multi-gene DNA analysis.
Although you should always perform self-checks, here are some signs and symptoms of breast cancer to look out for:
- A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue
- Bloody discharge from the nipple
- Change in the size or shape of a breast
- Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling
- Inverted nipple
- Peeling, scaling or flaking of the nipple or breast skin
- Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, which looks like the skin of an orange.
The treatments that Health Renewal offers include ozone therapy, IV infusions and Reakiri Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Each treatment will be thoroughly explained to you by a Health Renewal doctor and if you have any concerns, you should make the effort now.
