Absence of breastfeeding is one of the cause for breast cancer.. But breast cancer also depends on many other factors like genetic, Early menarche, late menopause, etc.. Shorter lactation risk for breast cancer is less.. If there is any risk factors then breast cancer screening can be done..
Next Steps
Make a consult and get a counselling for screening procedures..
