Apart from the gender, age, family history, personal history, there are other risk factors that are considered to be risk factors for breast cancer. These are;

1.       Reproductive factors: Early onset of menstruation, late menopause, and having your first child at an older age can slightly increase the risk.

2.       Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Long-term use of certain hormone replacement therapies that combine estrogen and progestin can increase breast cancer risk.

3.       Breast density: Women with denser breast tissue may have a higher risk.

4.       Alcohol consumption: Drinking alcohol, even in moderation, has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

5.       Obesity: Postmenopausal women who are overweight or obese have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.

6.       Physical inactivity: A sedentary lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
