In an interview with Accra-based Joy Prime, she underscored the importance of health advisory she was issuing, stressing that it helped to reduce breast cancer in women. She mentioned that women who were not lactating faced the challenge of having their breasts sucked unlike those with babies who stood to enjoy the &#8216;treat&#8217; as a result of breastfeeding. \u201cBreastfeeding your baby is very important as a woman. That\u2019s why if a woman has not given birth, it is a worry because, at the end of the day, the breast must be sucked,\u201d she said. Touching on the six-month exclusive breastfeeding for babies, Madam Twumasi Ankrah noted that it ultimately inures to the benefit of the mother despite some mothers seeing it as burdensome. \u201cSometimes women are like \u2018why should I do six-month breastfeeding?\u2019 You feel you\u2019re just giving the child milk but in essence, you are helping yourself so feeding your child or breastfeeding your child is very important as a woman,\u201d she emphasized. Charity Twumasi Ankrah posited that men had a key role to play in the necessity of sucking breasts. She said in the month of breast cancer awareness, men ought to suck breasts even if they have not attempted it before. \u201cSo if you are a man, please try as much as possible\u2026even if you haven\u2019t done it before, for this month of October where we have breast cancer awareness try to suck a breast,\u201d she stated. She cautioned that the sucking should only be done once in a while rather than on a daily basis. She also advised men to refrain from squeezing the breasts because &#8220;it is not a balloon&#8221; warning that doing so can cause agony to women. Madam Charity Twumasi Ankrah further urged women who are victims of breast cancer to heed to cutting off a cancerous breast stating that it should not make one feel shy. She said it should be viewed that the woman was saving her life. \u201cFor the women out there, gather courage if you have to do it. Don\u2019t feel shy, don\u2019t feel bad. Just know that you\u2019re saving yourself, if one breast has to go off,\u201d she encouraged. As October is breast cancer awareness month, people especially women are recommended to attend their local hospital or breast screening facility to have their breasts checked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
