Breast cancer development has a higher chance after pregnancy than other women due to various factors.

Breast Cancer Development Has Higher Possibility for Women After Pregnancy Due to Harmful Changes in Breast Cells

Breast cancer development has a higher possibility for women who have just given birth than other women due to harmful changes in their breast cells as breast cancer development depends on how the breast cells or genes change.

According to a report published in the New York Post, several studies revealed that women aged 35 to 55 who gave birth to their first child have a higher risk of experiencing breast cancer development compared to women who gave birth earlier due to having higher numbers of mutated cells, which could lead to breast cancer development.

In the studies about breast cancer development, researchers found that women can develop more than 10 mutations every year and most mutations in breasts are not that harmful to health; however, if women after pregnancy mutated cells, it could increase the risk of breast cancer development.
