All sexually active women are at greater risk of having breast cancer, a gynaecologist, Yinka Olaniyan, has said.

Mr. Olaniyan told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Thursday that the exact cause of breast cancer was unknown.

He said that it was important for all women to examine their breasts immediately after their period as this would help to notice any form of irregularities. The doctor said that although a lot of women ignored changes in their breasts, it was important to cultivate the habit of checking them routinely.

A breast self examination is a check-up a woman does at home to look for changes or problems in the breast tissue.
