Chest pain when wearing underwear

When women enter puberty, their breasts begin to develop, and they need to wear bras at this time, because bras can help women shape their breasts and absorb substances secreted by the nipples. However, some women will experience chest pain when wearing bras. This is mainly because the cup is too small, causing the bra to squeeze the accessory breasts. Therefore, women should choose looser bras to avoid causing breast blockage.

Cup size is too small: chest pain and accessory breast squeezing

There is a theory about the size of bra cups: bigger rather than smaller, loose rather than tight! This means that if the cup size is too small, it will cause a lot of trouble. The first is clogged milk ducts. Because the bra is close to the nipples, the nipples rub against the bra fibers during activities, causing the fibers to be twisted into cocoon-like shapes and enter the milk ducts. Over time, the milk ducts become blocked, which not only affects future breastfeeding but may even cause mastitis. The second is that it can easily cause nipple retraction. If the length of the bra is shorter than the chest circumference, the bra will press tightly against the breasts, affecting the blood circulation of the breasts. It will also press on the nipples, making them flat or even concave, which will also affect future breastfeeding.

If you use a bra that is too tight for a long time, the pressure area under the breast will have poor blood supply and fibrosis, and form cord-like hypertrophy, which will be painful when pressed. In addition, a cup size that is too small will cause muscles to overflow and create accessory breasts, which will not only affect health but also appearance.

The cup size is too large: causing breast deformation

Although a cup size that is too large will not have a significant impact on health, it is not conducive to shaping the breast curves of women. Generally, women are advised to choose one or two bras that are one size larger than their own, which can be worn during menstruation. If you often wear a bra that is too large, your breasts will easily sag and become deformed.

Bra straps are too tight: Breast compression

In addition to causing shoulder discomfort, tight shoulder straps will also cause the bra to move up. Nowadays, the bottom of bras are fixed with steel supports. Therefore, if the bra moves up, the harder steel supports will compress the breast tissue. If a girl's bra moves up during exercise, she must adjust the underwear in time.

Bras that are too tight: cause excess fat

Don't think that the tighter the bra is, the better the shaping effect will be. A bra that is too tight will cause poor blood circulation, chest tightness and pressure, and will also allow annoying fat to take advantage of the situation! The correct tightness should be that the shoulder straps, back straps, and cups should fit comfortably against the skin without digging into the muscles. The bottom of the bra should be at the same height front and back.

In addition to the above, women who wear bras for more than 12 hours a day have a much higher risk of breast cancer. Therefore, if you try not to wear a bra at home or in non-public places, it will be beneficial for preventing breast cancer. Clinical statistics also found that people who wear bras for more than 10 hours a day are more likely to develop breast diseases, and the risk is twice as high as other people. In addition, improper bra wearing may also cause the following health problems:

Using a bra to squeeze cleavage: affecting lymphatic return

Many women shift their breasts from the outside to the inside when wearing them, which results in a firm and beautiful breast appearance. However, this affects lymphatic flow, slows metabolism, increases toxins in the mammary alveoli, and increases the risk of disease.
