💟October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!💟
It’s so important to ensure you‘re confident identifying any physical changes in your breasts that may be an indication of breast cancer. Confidence comes with learning your breasts through regular checks and knowing what to look for.
Breast changes that may indicate breast cancer include:
• a new lump or lumpiness, especially if it's only in one breast
• a change in the size or shape of the breast
• a change to the nipple, such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion
• a nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing
• a change in the skin of the breast such as redness or dimpling
• an unusual pain that doesn't go away.
If you see or feel any of these changes or are concerned, see your doctor for a breast examination.
Please check out this video for examples of the type of changes you should be looking for:

🌏World Osteoporosis Day🌏
Osteoporosis affects both men and women although women are at greater risk due to the rapid decline in their oestrogen levels during menopause.
Osteoporosis Australia advises that bone health can be strongly inherited and ask you to consider your family history. It is important to note if anyone in your family (particularly parents or siblings) has ever been diagnosed with osteoporosis, broken a bone from a minor fall or rapidly lost height. These can indicate low bone density.

B 💚False! From Osteoporosis Australia You can "in many cases by looking after your bones as part of your general health. Your bones require calcium, vitamin D and exercise on a regular basis. Habits like smoking and excessive alcohol intake are bad for bones. It is also important to be aware of particular risk factors for low bone density. Risk factors include: family history of osteoporosis, low calcium and vitamin D levels and some conditions or medications. If you have any of the risk factors speak to your doctor."
