Since it is a Pink October, I should blog about breast cancer as well. I know some of the male readers might think this is not their business. But, today I am going to blog about man's breast cancer.
Although male breast cancer is rare case, but it does happen. This is because male and female also have breast tissues. We (men) don't see ourself have a pair of big boob is because our bodies normally don't make much of the breast-stimulating hormones. But sometimes men can develop real breast gland tissue because they take certain medicines or have abnormal hormone levels.
The risk factors for male breast cancer might be:
- Growing older: This is the main factor. The risk increases as age increases. The median age of men diagnosed with breast cancer is about 67. This means that half the men who are diagnosed are over 67, and half are under.
- High estrogen levels: This might be cause of Taking hormonal medicines. Being overweight, having been exposed to estrogens in the environment ,being heavy users of alcohol, having liver disease.
- Klinefelter syndrome
- Genetic alterations
- Radiation exposure
Ok, I hope I can discussion the symtoms and diagnosis in this october~

Do you know this post of yours can kill off my blogging hobby? I am fat! And now, I need to leave my laptop for a jog.
Just kidding, I will exercise as often as possible. Just don’t want to get into a chemo which means lots of pain for me.

Obesity seems to cause so many diseases. Btw instantly your Adsense ads on this page start to show “health and cancer” ads. It’s very relevant, which contrasts very well to the blogrush (which shows irrelevant posts).
