The Breast of The 21st Century Woman.

Sucking breast is a nice feeling which cannot be underestimated. For example, a baby's composure in folding, holding and sucking the breast confirms it. 

Lets hail the breast, for it has been a life saver to you after birth.At various stages in life, the breast plays significant roles. Well, what the older folks do, is not my business however they need to be educated. Stop staring at me with those eyes. Sex life is a private affair. Agreed?

As ladies grow, their breast become useful to their children and the "other party". Ironically, men deliberately renamed their breast as "chest". Men and women can be affected by breast cancer, however studies reveal that women are at a higher risk of being breast cancer victims.

Posterity, ladies become excited on the first day they wear their brazzier. The feeling is ............. I am not fabricating, just ask them. Well, some became confused about the type and size of brazzier that they should buy. 


Come closer and whisper into my ear if you remember your first brazzier's colour and size. Also, every lady has a "unique" brazier she likes to wear for a good day. Today, I seem to be a breast expert, Posterity.

Breast cancer begins in the breast tissue that is made up of glands for milk production, called lobules, and the ducts that connect the lobule to the nipple. In developing countries, breast cancer have been reported to be treated at the last stage due to negligence and illiteracy of breast  cancer. Until you learn more about your breast, you will lose it with no compensation.

Posterity, let me share some insights from a women's conference I participated which was organized by Benekie Foundation.

The image below shows the types of breast cancer.

Symptoms of breast cancer include;

1. A painless lump in the breast or armpit area.

2. Bloody discharge from the nipple

3. Changed in the shape or texture of the nipple or breast.

4. Changes in the breast size or shape.

5. Itchy breast.

6. Pain around upper back, shoulder and neck area.

NB: It is not every lump in the breast that indicates a sign of breast cancer. However, you need to visit  the hospital for mammography. Mammography is the screening and detection of breast cancer when patients show its symptoms.

Cancer cannot be traced to a single factor hence there is a need to take preventive steps to save lives. Among the causes of breast cancer are;

1. Previous radiation theraphy

2. Vigorous sucking of the breast by adults.

3. Untreated boils (abscess) or cracked nipples.

4. Enlargement of breast surgery.

5. Squeezing the breast very hard causing pain.

6. Other genetic factors- smoking. alcoholism.

7. The type of brazziers
