Concept:

• Most women who breastfeed experience hormonal changes during lactation that delay their menstrual periods. This reduces a woman’s lifetime exposure to hormones like estrogen, which can promote breast cancer cell growth.
• In addition, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, mother shed breast tissue.This shedding can help remove cells with potential DNA damage, thus helping to reduce your chances of developing breast cancer.
• Mothers who breastfeed lower their risk of pre and post menopausal breast cancer. And, breastfeeding longer than the recommended six months can provide additional protection.

Explanation: 

• Exclusive breastfeeding helps mothers in preventing breast cancer. Breast feeding acts as a natural contraceptive, prevents conception and it helps in quick involution of the uterus, and reduces post-partum bleeding. Cervical cancer is not related to breastfeeding.
• The evidence shows that, in general, the greater the number of months that women continue breastfeeding their babies, the greater the protection these women have against breast cancer.
• The principal mechanism through which lactation or breastfeeding could plausibly influence breast cancer risk is through the hormonal influence of the associated period of amenorrhea and infertility.
