Three major risks seriously threaten women's health

Of all the organs, the breasts are arguably the most vulnerable part of a woman. Relevant data show that breast cancer has risen to the top of female tumors and has become the number one killer threatening women's health. Jiang Zefei, director of the Breast Cancer Department of the Affiliated Hospital of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, said that at present, the incidence of breast cancer not only has an increasing trend year by year, but also has a very scary phenomenon of younger age. Among the breast cancer patients discovered in China, the youngest is only 17 years old.

"The cervix is ​​the most common site for malignant tumors in women, and the damage it causes to women's health and life is second only to breast cancer," said Professor Lang Jinghe, Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Every year, there are 131,500 new cases of cervical cancer in my country, accounting for one-third of the world's total number of cases. About 50,000 people die from cervical cancer each year, and the incidence population is concentrated in women aged 40-60. Cervical cancer used to be more common among middle-aged and elderly women, but now there is a clear trend of earlier onset.

Compared with men, women are more likely to strain ligaments in joints such as the knee and ankle. Professor Zhu Lan, chief physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that this is because women's hips are wider, which makes the ligaments bear too much force, so women's ligaments are inherently much more fragile than men's. Secondly, women’s motor reactions are generally slower than men’s. When danger occurs, they cannot be relieved in time, making them more susceptible to injury.
