A doctor at Chrispod Hospital, Dr Angela Kutin Mensah, has dismissed claims that men sucking their partners’ breasts can prevent breast cancer, urging couples to focus instead on recognising unusual changes that may require medical attention.

She explained that partners can play an important role in the early detection of breast abnormalities by paying attention to changes in the size, shape and feel of the breasts during intimate moments.

Dr Kutin Mensah made the remarks during a breast cancer awareness and screening campaign organised by the Adunyame Foundation and Hadassah Network Outreach.

According to her, men who are familiar with their partners’ bodies may notice unusual changes, including lumps, differences in breast size or fluid discharge, which could prompt further medical assessment.

She said such observations could contribute to early detection, even when the partner is not deliberately conducting a breast examination.

“It’s not about the sucking that can help. What can rather help is that since your partner knows your body best, he can rather touch or feel around your breasts. Even during foreplay or something, he’ll pick up that, oh, there’s a lump over here. Or one breast looks bigger than the other,” she explained.

Dr Kutin Mensah encouraged couples to seek medical attention when they notice unusual changes rather than assume that breast sucking or other intimate activities can prevent the disease.Source:Citi Newsroom
