Having healthy breasts is the hope of every woman. Breasts are not only a source of pride for women, but also a source of concern. Beautiful breasts add to a woman's charm, but breast diseases are increasingly becoming a health problem for women. Modern women must have a good understanding of breast health.
1. Avoid strong compression
This is something that needs to be paid special attention to. Strong compression of the breasts has two major disadvantages: first, it can easily cause internal soft tissue injuries or induce hyperplasia. Second, it can change the external shape of the breasts, causing sagging or drooping. To avoid forcefully compressing the breasts, pay attention to the following two points:
- Sleep in the correct position. It is best for women to sleep on their back and try not to sleep on one side for a long time. This not only easily compresses the breasts, but also can cause uneven development of both breasts.
- When engaging in sexual activities, try to avoid the male partner exerting forceful pressure on the breasts. Otherwise, it may lead to internal disorders.
2. Avoid wearing ill-fitting bras
Avoid wearing bras that do not fit properly, or simply not wearing bras at all. Choosing a suitable bra is a necessary measure to protect the breasts, and it should not be taken lightly. When choosing a bra, consider the following three points:
- The bra should not feel constricting, meaning it should not be too small. Choose a size that can cover the entire outer edge of the breasts.
- The bra straps should not be too loose or too tight, and the material should be slightly elastic.
- The protruding part of the bra should be at a moderate distance, not too far or too close. In addition, it is best to choose bras made of pure cotton and avoid synthetic fabrics.
Some young girls often do not wear bras because they think their breasts have not fully developed yet. This is actually a misconception. If bras are not worn for a long time, not only can it lead to breast sagging, but it can also make them more susceptible to external damage. As long as the bra is properly fitted, it will not affect breast development and will be beneficial.
3. Avoid stimulating the breasts with excessively hot or cold water
The breasts are surrounded by a dense network of blood vessels, and being exposed to excessively hot or cold water is extremely detrimental. If you choose to take a sitz bath or a basin bath, avoid soaking in water that is too hot or too cold for a long time. Otherwise, it can cause the soft tissues of the breasts to relax and lead to dry skin.
4. Keep the nipples and areolas clean
Proper breast hygiene is essential for women. Prolonged lack of cleanliness can lead to problems such as inflammation or skin diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean the breasts.
5. Avoid excessive dieting
Diet can control the increase or decrease of body fat. Foods that are rich in nutrients and contain sufficient amounts of animal fats and proteins can make various parts of the body store fat, including the breasts. The majority of breast tissue is made up of fat. Only when the fat content in the breasts increases can they develop properly. Some young women pursue slimness blindly and disregard everything else, even resorting to a diet that mainly consists of vegetarian dishes. As a result, their breast development becomes incomplete and the breasts appear flat and shapeless, rendering other care measures ineffective.
6. Avoid lack of exercise
Doing some breast enhancement exercises and light massages can make the breasts fuller. Doing breast enhancement exercises is one of the measures to exercise the breast tissue for women whose breast tissue is already well-developed. In reality, exercise itself cannot make the breasts larger because there are no muscles in the breasts. The purpose of exercise is to increase the size of the pectoral muscles underneath the breasts, which can make the breasts appear larger.
7. Adolescent girls should avoid using hormone-based drugs for breast enhancement
Adolescent girls are in a period of rapid growth and development. The ovaries naturally secrete a large amount of estrogen. If estrogen drugs are used, although they can promote breast development, they also carry certain risks. If the estrogen level in a woman's body remains consistently high, it can increase the risk of developing tumors in the breasts, vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries, etc. Commonly used estrogen drugs include estradiol benzoate and ethinyl estradiol. Misusing these drugs can not only cause nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, but also lead to uterine bleeding, uterine enlargement, menstrual disorders, and liver and kidney dysfunction.
8. Avoid long-term use of "breast enhancement creams"
The breast enhancement creams commonly used for breast beauty usually contain substances that have a higher content of estrogen. When applied to the skin, they can be slowly absorbed, resulting in breast fullness and enlargement. Short-term use usually does not cause major problems. However, long-term or excessive use, as well as rotating the use of different types of breast enhancement creams, can lead to the following adverse effects:
- It can cause menstrual irregularities and pigmentation;
- It can lead to skin atrophy and thinning;
- It can disrupt liver enzyme systems, decrease bile acid synthesis, and increase the likelihood of developing cholesterol gallstones. Therefore, the use of breast enhancement creams must be done with caution, especially avoiding long-term use.
