What are the chances of an adolescent having breast cancer


What are the chances of an adolescent having breast cancer?
I am 19, i know its young, but im just wondering. I have been having pains on my breast, its been going on for quite some time. But it was more of an on/off thing. But lately, the pain has been quite frequent, that it is almost everyday. I notice a little of bruising near the nipple area and it feels a little swollen, too. I was only wondering whether it might be a development of cancer. If there's anyone out there who knows about this, i would really like to know. thanks.

breast cancer doesn't generally hurt, what you describe is more likely just hormonal fluctuations.

The chances of breast cancer at 19 are very, very, very close to zero. It's almost unheard of in under 25s, and fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with it are under 30. It's rare under 40 - only 5% of all those diagnosed - and most people diagnosed with it (80%) are over 50. Pain is rarely a sign of breast cancer - most people diagnosed with it have felt no pain. Most breast lumps, even in women over 50, aren't cancerous. It sounds as if you may just have a bruise - monitor it for a couple of weeks and if it's still there see your doctor

breast cancer prevention ... many factors contribute to an individual's chance of having breast cancer; this ... It is thought that the diet of an adolescent woman can be especially important

The odds are very slim 1.3 in every 1 million girls 15-19 years old. Your symptoms are not symptoms of breast cancer. Pain is usually a sign something is wrong, but breast pain is very common when you’re young and it can vary how and when it occurs. I remember times it was hard to walk through the frozen food section at the store. The good news is it stops the older you get. The bad news is other stuff starts going on you would rather not deal with.

Go to your doctor for a routine check up. Certain types of benign (noncancerous) breast disease, radiation exposure, and family history of the disease are also established risk factors. Women who begin menstruating before age 12 are also at higher risk. Breast Cancer - Risks Factors: The Known http://www.tips-advice.ro/breast-cancer-tips-advice/breast-cancer-2c-risk-factors-tips-advice.php Reserpine (a drug for high blood pressure), chemicals in hair dyes, alcohol consumption, dietary fat, use of birth control pills have all been suggested as risk factors, but results from various studies have been contradictory, and their role in disease development remains controversial. Risks Factors: The Unknown http://www.tips-advice.ro/breast-cancer-tips-advice/breast-cancer-2c-risk-factors-tips-advice.php Breast self-examination should be done once a month so you become familiar with the usual appearance and feel of your breasts. Familiarity makes it easier to notice any changes in the breast from one month to another. Feel for any unusual lump or mass under the skin.
