Sucking breasts enhances early detection of breast cancer — Doctor

A medical doctor with expertise in sexual & reproductive health, Damian Avar, also known as Sabi Doctor, has advised Nigerian men on their role in promoting breast health among women.

He advised men to always suck their wives’ breasts to help enhance early detection of breast cancer.

Dr Damian, in a recent interview with Premium Times, said this would help women to seek better evaluation and early detection in early treatment.

“There is that aspect of the argument, at least in theory, that in the sucking action, the man would quickly notice early signs of a lump or maybe an unusual discharge, which may prompt them to

“If not for anything, it can help increase the likelihood of a tumour being detected and adequately addressed.

“This would imply that the man would have to feel the breast while sucking. When a man is sucking his wife’s breast, he should take a minute or two to touch the breast, just in case he could notice anything usual; also, look out for discharges that may point to disease. It offers a lot of benefits that come with the pleasure of breastfeeding.

“Also, some studies have shown that the overall risk of breast cancer is drastically reduced when the breast is vigorously sucked over time. But this is not a general medical doctrine,” he opined.
