The president of Brea$t Care International Dr. Beatrice Wiafe -Addai has urged men to handle the brea$t of women with care as it is a very fragile part of a woman’s anatomy.
Speaking on the sidelines of the brea$t cancer awareness month which is celebrated in October every year, Dr. Wiafe-Addai told Starr Fm morning show host Francis Abban that contrary to claims that the sucking of breast by men reduces the risk of getting brea$t cancer in women, those claims are untrue.
“It is not true that the more you suck a woman’s brea$t it prevents the risk of getting brea$t cancer. What is true is that women who have children should breastfeed, and breastfeeding has some positive effect on the woman as far as brea$t cancer is concerned. But not adult men to go and suck the brea$t thinking it will protect the woman from brea$t cancer, that is not true, it is very fragile so let’s handle it with care…don’t squeeze it like you have some mango or orange that you are squeezing to get some fluid out,” Dr. Wiafe-Addai counselled.
Dr. Wiafe-Addai also advised men not to abandon women diagnosed with breast cancer but rather help to fight it.
“If you find something in a woman’s breast don’t send her to her family home because she has been diagnosed of brea$t cancer. Give her all the morale even if not financial. So that she knows that someone is with her through the fight. The fight against brea$t cancer is not an easy one so women need all the support from men, society and the nation,” she noted
