Every October, the world turns pink to honor the strength, courage, and resilience of women affected by breast cancer. Pink October is more than just a color — it’s a reminder that awareness saves lives.
At Biocouriers, we believe that every journey centered around health and life deserves protection. Supporting women’s health means supporting life itself — from the beginning and throughout every stage.
Why Pink October Matters
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. However, early detection offers the best chance for successful treatment — and often, a full recovery.
This month encourages women everywhere to prioritize their health, listen to their bodies, and take preventive steps that can truly make a difference.
Key Steps in Prevention
Regular self-exams
Once a month, take a few minutes to perform a self-breast examination. Early detection of changes — such as lumps, thickening, or dimpling of the skin — is crucial.
Clinical check-ups
Visit your doctor or gynecologist regularly. Professional breast exams should be part of every woman's routine preventive care.
Screening and mammograms
From the age of 40 (or earlier, if there’s a family history), having regular mammograms can detect changes invisible to the touch.
Healthy lifestyle
Maintain a balanced diet, stay active, limit alcohol intake, and avoid smoking. Regular movement, a nutritious diet, and stress management play an important role in prevention.
Talk about it
Awareness spreads through conversation. Encourage your friends, colleagues, and family members to check themselves and schedule professional screenings.
