WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN’S BREAST PROTECTION?
Dr. Paul wrote up the rules and regulations for Women’s Boxing. In the rules, one thing he put in essence, as Health Science Major and in Public Health — he emphasized that women must have a Breast Protector. Since these women wanted to box, he knew they would be getting hit in the chest, he was concerned that the “hits” would cause trauma to the breast, possibly leading women to be diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
WHAT IS BREAST TRAUMA?
Dr. Paul discovered that injuries to the breast could form into trauma which potentially could transform into breast cancer. This type of cancer has been seen in women and in men. All athletes can have higher susceptibility to a breast cancer diagnosis due to the constant injuries and hits to the chest. Please take the survey below.
CAN MEN AND MALE ATHLETES GET BREAST CANCER?
