4 bra wearing mistakes that cause breast cancer

Do you suffer from shoulder pain, stiff neck or frequent headaches? Do you suffer from back pain, indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome that make life uncomfortable?

These symptoms become so familiar, you may be surprised to learn that the source of your discomfort may be your bra.

According to a recent study, up to 76% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Many admit that they bought the wrong size simply because they wanted a particular style or color.

Some even deliberately buy the wrong size bra in the hope that it will increase or decrease the bust size they desire. However, this habit will cause serious health consequences.

Too tight

"I often see a direct link between patients' back and neck pain and their bras," says physiotherapist Sammy Margo, spokesperson for the British Association of Physiotherapy.

"If a bra is too tight, it can put pressure on the nerves, muscles and blood vessels around the shoulders, back and rib cage, leading to headaches, numbness and pain in the joints of the hands."

More seriously, it will affect the function of the hand along with prolonged pain. Some studies also concluded that bras that are too tight can cause swelling or inflammation of the skin.

This habit will cause serious health consequences.

After all, breast cancer is a dangerous disease that women are susceptible to, and one of the reasons you get breast cancer is due to wearing a bra that is too tight, worn for a long time, reducing blood circulation to the chest.

Too wide

Bras that are too loose or too loose can also cause problems. "Wearing a bra that is too loose can lead to posture problems, such as hunched shoulders or a hunchback. It makes the wearer sit or stand unnaturally," says Sammy Margo.

Furthermore, bras that do not provide adequate support will put pressure on your diaphragm, making it difficult to breathe. The weight of your breasts combined with your sedentary posture will aggravate digestive problems.

“Nipples do not contain muscle,” says plastic surgeon and breast cosmetic specialist Ash Mosahebi. “They are made up of fat, glands and milk ducts, held in place by a network of fine ligaments and connective tissue.

"If you constantly wear a bra that is too loose and does not support your breasts, it will cause fluctuations in the size and shape of your breasts."

A standard, well-fitting bra will bring comfort and confidence to women and prevent many diseases.

The wire is too tight.

When a bra becomes loose, many women simply tighten the straps to fix it.

It would be a mistake to think that straps can support the breasts. Few women realize that straps are actually the most important part of a bra.

A belt that is too tight will put a lot of pressure on the shoulders, digging into the skin, pulling the shoulders and spine forward, putting pressure on the nerves, causing headaches related to the neck muscles and joints.

And women who consistently wear bras with straps that are too tight can also develop unsightly lines on each shoulder.

You should choose to buy the right bra to be more confident.

No sports bra

Not just any bra is suitable for exercise. Having a sports bra not only makes you comfortable but also makes your workout more effective.

Bras often do not absorb sweat well, causing itching and discomfort during exercise. Sports bras are designed entirely from absorbent cotton.

Sports bras will have the function of resisting up and down movement, helping the bust not to be impacted much and fixed during exercise.

Research from the University of Portsmouth (UK) shows that breasts can move 10-15cm when we exercise. So a sports bra is a must if you want to protect your breasts.
