Doctors are urging people to stop turning to so-called folk healers and to stop using unproven treatment methods for breast problems. Oncologist Azamat Kylchykbaev said this on the air of Birinchi Radio.

The risks of self-treatment and advanced cases

According to Kylchykbaev, there is a particularity in that some diseases, such as cancer, tuberculosis or coronavirus, tend to be concealed. He noted that some women choose herbal mixtures and dietary supplements, and also turn to healers instead of consulting an oncologist.

At the same time, although patients sometimes do eventually see doctors, this happens only at the stage of advanced disease. As a result, the effectiveness of further treatment is significantly limited.

Who the warning applies to

The warning applies to women who may face breast diseases and may be inclined to seek alternative treatments out of fear of surgery.
