Breast cancer is generally considered a women's disease, as 99% of cases occur in women. However, according to the World Health Organization, approximately 0.5% to 1% of cases also occur in men. Due to lack of awareness, men often ignore its symptoms, which can lead to serious complications.

Key Symptoms
If you notice the following changes in your body or chest, consult a doctor immediately:
Lump: A painless lump in the chest or around the nipple.
Nipple changes: The nipple turns inward or oozes blood or fluid.
Skin changes: Redness, crusting, or dimpling of the nipple or chest skin.
Other signs: Swelling in the armpit (lymph nodes), sudden weight loss, and persistent fatigue.

Risk factors and causes
Family history: A family history of the condition may increase the risk due to genetic factors.
Advancing age: The risk increases with age.

Prevention and Precautions:

Don't be careless: Don't hide any unusual changes in the chest or body. Early diagnosis makes treatment much easier.

Healthy Lifestyle: Exercise regularly, maintain weight control, and eat a balanced diet.

Avoid addiction: Avoid smoking and alcohol. Early identification of symptoms and a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of this serious illness.
