Healthy Lifestyle, Stronger Protection

Did you know that lifestyle plays a big role in preventing breast cancer? Everyone’s body works in a similar way, yet only some develop cancer — and that difference often comes down to daily habits. A healthy lifestyle isn’t just about food; it’s about balance in three areas — stress, sleep, and diet.

Stress management is key. When we overthink or stay anxious for long, it affects our hormones and overall health. Learning to stay calm and positive helps your body stay balanced. Sleep is just as important — aim for at least 7 hours every night. Going to bed early ensures your body produces enough melatonin, the hormone that repairs and resets your system.

And yes, food matters too — eat fresh, balanced meals, avoid processed items, and stay hydrated. Together, these small changes can make a big difference in keeping your body healthy and reducing the risk of cancer.

Understanding the Connection: Hormones, PCOS & Breast Health

Many women often wonder — does having thyroid or PCOS increase the risk of breast cancer? The answer is no. There’s no direct link between breast cancer and thyroid or PCOS. However, the breast is a hormone-sensitive organ, and changes in oestrogen and progesterone levels can affect it.

During every menstrual cycle, these hormones are released by the ovaries. When their balance gets disturbed, it can lead to breast-related issues like pain, cysts, or fibroadenomas — which are non-cancerous lumps. These are quite common and not a sign of cancer.

Even for women who undergo hormonal treatment for PCOS, the risk remains low — unless oestrogen therapy is continued for more than 10 years. So, regular self-checks, healthy lifestyle habits, and timely doctor visits are the best ways to stay informed and confident about your health.

Quick Fire Round: Breast Cancer Facts You Should Know

1. If you get a lump, is it cancer?
Not all breast lumps are cancer. But since cancer can form lumps, it’s always best to visit your doctor right away for a check-up.

2. Do men get breast cancer?
Yes, they can. Men also have breast tissue, which means they’re not completely risk-free.

3. Is a mammogram painful?
Not anymore! With modern 3D mammogram technology, the test is quick and almost completely pain-free.

4. Does breastfeeding reduce cancer risk?
Absolutely. Breastfeeding for at least 2 years can lower your risk of breast cancer by 15–30%.

Early Detection Begins with You

Did you know that just a few minutes every month can make a big difference in your health? A self-breast examination helps you notice any unusual changes early — and early detection means better chances of cure.

The best time to do it is once a month, usually while taking a bath. Use four fingers to gently press the opposite breast and check all areas, especially under the arms. Even a small lump, around 1 to 1.5 cm, can be felt easily — and this is often when it’s most treatable.

Make it a habit. A quick self-check, along with regular mammograms, can help catch breast cancer early and save lives. Take care of yourself — your health deserves that attention.

Don’t Ignore a Painless Lump — It Could Be a Sign

Breast cancer doesn’t always come with pain in the beginning. Sometimes, it starts as a small, painless lump that slowly grows over time. Many people tend to ignore it because it doesn’t hurt — but that’s exactly when it needs attention the most.

If you ever feel a lump, whether it’s painful or not, it’s important to get it checked by a doctor. Pain often comes later as the lump develops, so early detection can truly make a difference. Even lumps found near the underarms should never be ignored.

Your body often gives small signals — listen to them. A quick check or visit to your doctor can help detect breast cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat. Awareness saves lives.

Why Kids Suddenly Cry or Act Scared at Night – What Every Parent Should Know

Ever noticed your child suddenly crying or looking scared for no reason? It can be worrying, but most of the time, it’s not anything supernatural. What you’re seeing is often related to parasomnias – like sleepwalking, sleep talking, or sudden fear during sleep.

Common triggers include stress, sickness, or lack of sleep. The good news? These are usually harmless and don’t require tests or medication. The key is good sleep hygiene: consistent sleep timings, a calm and cozy bedroom, and healthy routines.

Remember, it’s normal for kids to have occasional sleep disruptions. Understanding this can save you unnecessary worry and help your child feel safe and rested.

How to Help Kids Sleep Independently

Struggling because your child won’t sleep without you? Don’t worry – you’re not alone! Here are two gentle, effective ways to help your little one sleep on their own.

1. Checking Method:
This is all about reassurance without staying in the room all night. You put your child to bed, then check on them at regular intervals. Each time, you stay calm, brief, and comforting, showing them they’re safe but encouraging them to fall asleep independently. Gradually, your check-ins become shorter until they learn to sleep without needing you there.

2. Camping Method:
Think of it like “camping out” in their room – you stay nearby until they fall asleep. You can sit quietly, read a book, or just be there without interacting much. Night by night, you slowly move further away from the bed until your child feels confident falling asleep on their own.

With patience and consistency, kids can learn that bedtime is safe, calm, and independent – making nights easier for everyone!

Train Your Kids for Better Sleep

Getting your kids to sleep well can feel challenging, but a few simple habits can make a big difference. Here’s how to create a bedtime routine that works:

Consistent Bedtime: Going to bed at the same time every night helps set their internal clock and makes falling asleep easier.

Calm Sleep Environment: Keep the bedroom quiet, softly lit, and at a comfortable temperature. A peaceful space signals the brain that it’s time to rest.

Limit Screen Time: Avoid phones, tablets, or TV at least one hour before bed. The blue light can interfere with natural sleep signals.

Avoid Caffeine: Drinks like coffee or tea in the evening can make it harder for kids to fall asleep.

Soothing Rituals: A warm bath or a small cup of warm milk can help relax the body and mind, preparing them for sleep.

By following these tips consistently, you can help your kids enjoy deeper, more restful sleep and wake up happy and energized.

The Healing Touch

Decades back, a mother was carrying her young child to work. On their way the child came across some sick people. The sight of poor people struggling due to ill health and poorer healthcare disturbed them both. On that day, a burning desire was born in the child’s mind that when he grows up, he has to do something for the poor. Out of that desire, a vision was born to establish a hospital for his village. That one man’s vision and commitment has today created a world class hospital in Madurai, Velammal Medical College Hospital & Research Institute.
