Health experts warn women against unregulated breast enlargement products, herbal remedies

Health experts have cautioned women against relying on unregulated breast enlargement products and herbal remedies to address breast-related concerns, warning that some may contain harmful substances or delay the diagnosis of serious conditions. The warning was issued during a breast cancer awareness programme organised by the Ministry of Roads and Highways in Accra. A midwife at the Ridge Hospital, Abigail Asiamah, said some women delay seeking medical attention when they notice changes in their breasts because they turn to herbal preparations or other unverified treatments. She warned that such practices could make it more difficult for health professionals to diagnose and treat conditions at an early stage.
