President of Breast Care International, Dr Mrs Beatrice Wiafe Addai, has decried the public opinion that sucking of a woman’s breasts by men prevents breast cancer.
According to the Global Breast Cancer Advocate, no research has proven that breast cancer can be prevented by regular sucking of the breast by men.
Dr Mrs Beatrice Wiafe Addai, in an interview with Otec News’ Francis Appiah on Monday, October 11, 2021, was reacting to news articles on social media that seek to educate the public on the prevention of breast cancer.
However, she posited that touching them rather helps in early detection of breast cancer, as it may help notice any change or abnormality in the breast which could prompt further medical examination.
“The claim that husbands sucking their wives’ breasts can help reduce the risk of contracting breast cancer is not true, it rather helps in noticing any changes in the breasts, who in turn could notify the women to go for prompt medical examination to be conducted to clear any uncertainty,” she said.
