Patient's question:
I am currently pregnant, I have a little baby, I also have gynecological diseases, I am afraid that my child will have gynecological diseases in the future, please ask if gynecological diseases can be inherited to the next generation?Doctor's answer:
Heritability, the incidence rate is 7 to 8 times higher than that of the general population. Breast cancer is a disease with significant genetic characteristics. If more than one person in a family suffers from breast cancer, it should be suspected as hereditary breast cancer. Environmental triggers, the family history of hereditary breast cancer can manifest in two forms. One is that if the mother suffers from breast cancer, the daughter is also prone to breast cancer, with a younger onset age, often occurring before menopause, and mostly bilateral. The other is that if the mother has never had breast cancer, but at least two sisters in the family suffer from breast cancer, this type of breast cancer often occurs after menopause and is usually unilateral.
