According to a recent Fox News report, American science and technology writer Florence Williams pointed out in her newly published book “The Natural and Unnatural History of Breasts” that larger female breasts are not good for health.
Is a woman’s breast bigger the better?
According to the report, the average size of American women’s breasts has increased from 34B to 36C over two generations, and this seemingly beautiful fullness of breasts can actually pose a hidden health risk to them.
Breast enlargement is often accompanied by a thicker waistline. Scholars cite a number of annoying factors that cause bra models to increase, such as weight gain, which increases the likelihood of women developing breast cancer after menopause.
Another culprit is the early onset of puberty in girls. A study in the American journal Pediatrics found that 15 percent of American girls begin to develop breasts at the age of 7. Once a woman’s breasts increase in size, the chances of being exposed to various kinds of pollution also increase. Even worse, the larger the female breast, the more toxins that accumulate, the more likely it is that they will be passed on to the newborn baby through breastfeeding, thus harming the baby’s brain, body, immune system, etc. Moreover, the environmental pollution in modern society has also led to a high incidence of breast cancer.
The 10 intimate problems of women’s breasts are revealed
Q: Why is it not easy to wear a bra for too long a time every day?
A: Studies have shown that sleeping with a bra often can easily lead to breast cancer. Bras will compress the lymph glands in the breasts, so the toxins produced there will not be easily discharged and will become cancerous over time. In addition, most bras are made of chemical fibers, and the toxic and harmful substances in chemical fibers will also bring bad stimulation to breasts.
Q：Will the “flat princess” have breast enlargement?
A: It is not scientific that small breasts will not cause breast diseases. Even for women with early termination of breast development, abnormal hormone secretion in the body will also cause various breast problems, and among the breast disease patients I have met, many are women with small breasts. Breast disease is closely related to the level of hormone balance in the body, the usual living environment, and work stress.
Q: What will happen to my breasts after pregnancy or having a baby?
A: When you are pregnant, your breasts will gradually become larger. After giving birth or breastfeeding, your breasts may sag and your cup size will decrease. This is called “breast aging” and is mainly caused by the fact that the breasts no longer produce milk and some of the tissue begins to shrink. To avoid sagging breasts, women can try wearing adjustable or sports underwear to keep them in shape.
Q: Why are my breasts asymmetrical?
A: A small abnormality in the breast tissue during embryonic development may result in significant morphological differences at birth and after growth. The main manifestation is that the size of bilateral breasts, nipples and areolas are different or not on the same level. The embryonic developmental abnormalities that cause breast asymmetry are not limited to the breast tissue itself, but may also come from problems with the pectoralis major muscle, ribs or other chest tissues, resulting in an asymmetrical breast shape.
Q: Are there any harmful effects of breast enlargement oil on breasts?
A: From a professional point of view, occasional use of breast enlargement oil will not cause direct harm to the body, but long-term use in large doses will increase the level of estrogen in the body and affect breast health. Medical evidence shows that hormone replacement therapy during menopause can also increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Therefore, women should not take estrogen or progestin supplements casually. Beauty salons boast that essential oils have a therapeutic effect on breast enlargement, but this is an exaggeration.
Q: What are the benefits of breastfeeding?
A: Consistent breastfeeding can effectively prevent breast cancer and promote body recovery. The duration of breastfeeding is an important factor that affects a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer, even more than genetic factors. The incidence of breast cancer in developed countries has increased dramatically in the last century because women in developed countries have replaced breastfeeding with artificial feeding for the past 100 years, and as a result, the incidence of breast cancer has increased significantly. In order to keep women away from breast cancer, new mothers and mothers-to-be should not give up breastfeeding.
Q: Is it true that bad habits such as high stress and staying up late can increase the risk of breast cancer?
A: Young women in urban areas face intense competitive pressure and are in a state of long-term mental stress and tension, which leads to emotional instability and disharmony.
These mental factors and poor lifestyle together can cause further damage to the breast. Despite the pressure of work, women in the workplace should “untie” themselves psychologically at the right time.
The laughter, confiding in people is a good way to reduce stress. Good family life, interpersonal interaction can effectively reduce stress. The sunshine is good for your physical and mental health as you go outdoors more often and return to nature and family life.
Q: How to do breast self-examination?
A: Women should always check the shape of their breasts to see if there are changes.
You can stand in front of the mirror and rotate your body slowly with your arms crossed to the right and left to see if there are any sunken nipples and breasts, redness or skin damage, then brace your palms on your hips and press down hard while rotating your body, which will make the outline of your breasts appear clear.
If abnormal changes are found, you need to compare with the other side to check whether the breasts are symmetrical bilaterally, and if there is any asymmetry, you should rush to the hospital for consultation.
Q: Can early stage breast cancer be cured?
A: It mainly depends on whether the proper treatment is taken in time.
Generally speaking, the most effective treatment for early stage breast cancer is surgical excision if the cancer is small and has not spread and metastasized. Breast-conserving surgery is an important way of surgical treatment for early-stage breast cancer, and conventional radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery is more effective, and the 5-year survival rate of breast cancer patients after surgical resection is over 60%.
After surgery, a period of post-operative treatment, such as radiotherapy and Chinese medicine, is advocated to prevent recurrence and speed up the recovery of body functions.
Q: Why is it not easy to wear a bra for too long a time every day?
A: Studies have shown that sleeping with a bra too often is likely to cause breast cancer.
Bras will compress the lymph glands in the breasts, so the toxins produced there will not be easily discharged and will become cancerous over time.
In addition, most bras are made of chemical fibers, and the toxic and harmful substances in chemical fibers will also bring bad stimulation to breasts.
