Reduces breast cancer risk: Tea is rich in polyphenols that possess antioxidant and tumour fighting properties. A study claimed that the polyphenol content of tea decreases breast cancer risk by 21% in regular tea drinkers as compared to non-drinkers.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and keeping this in mind, designer Nidhi Munim has launched mastectomy swimwear collection for those women who want to look sexy even after surgery. The swimsuit uses UV protective Lycra as a material, which makes the fit extremely versatile and flexible across sizes.

What is mastectomy?

Mastectomy is a procedure of surgical removal of both the breasts, partially or completely. The procedure is mainly done in case of women suffering from breast cancer. Mastectomy is done depending on factors like breast size, size and the number of lumps, aggressiveness and spread of cancer, radiation therapy sessions, and the patient s decision to accept higher chances of tumor relapse after radiation. The surgery may not prevent development of secondary tumors later.

What is a preventive mastectomy and why is it needed?

Also known as prophylactic or risk reducing mastectomy, it involves removing both breasts in order to reduce the chances of breast cancer in the future. A preventive mastectomy is recommended for women who are at a very high risk of suffering from the disease. The risk factor for a woman is decided by certain tests that detect the genetic mutation within certain genes. In Angelina Jolie s case, it was the BRCA1 gene.
