why does wearing a bra too much increase chances of breast cancer?
113610
Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group).\n\nWomen who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.\n\nWomen who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk.\n\nWomen who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference. \n\nThe results of this study are compelling, even considering that it was not a "controlled study" for other risk factors. Bear in mind that known (published in medical journals) risk factors for breast cancer are mostly in the range of less than three-fold differences. It should also be noted that Singer and Grismaijer surveyed bra-wearing behavior of the past, which is excellent for a disease with such a long development period. In their book, the authors show how most of the known risk factors can be related to bra-wearing behavior and/or the lymphatic system.\n\nGO HERE TO READ MORE - http://www.all-natural.com/bras.html

Well the use of wearing padded bra is to make the shape of ur breast correct if u have irregular breast shape or for prevention of this irregularity...The most imp thing why padded bras used is becoz the breast is hanged with one single muscle streching, this wud cause back pain and would cause stretch marks....

yes and sometimes the implants can make it harder to detect breast cancer

uh...what do you mean they "don't need them", because they are bigger chested? Pushup bras help to make them more "noticable",they arent JUST for small chested women.

The idea of wearing a bra got started in the early 1900s.  The idea of wearing a corset was going out of fashion quickly, for obvious reasons.  Around the time that the flapper style came about, women decided they needed to do something to make the dresses look a little better, ie softer or flatter, so the first "bra" was a piece of elastic and some hankerchiefs and safety pins.  The idea took off and now everyone has one.  Today it is seen as a way to give support to keep the breasts from stretching and sagging.

Sleeping with a bra on will not prevent your breasts from growing. However, it's generally a good idea not to sleep with a bra on because it can interfere with good circulation and easy breathing.\n\nIf you're putting in overtime with your bra to preserve perkiness, that's a total myth. Bras don't preserve the shape or perkiness of breasts. Sagging results from a number of factors unrelated to bra wearing, such as\n* breast fat and tissue composition\n\n* softening of breast ligaments and loss of breast tissue with age\n\n* enlarged breasts during pregnancy, which causes the skin to stretch even after they revert to pre-pregnancy size.

There are several factors that increase the risk of breast cancer and one of them is age according to my doctor. So please be on the safe side and do your monthly self checks and get yearly mammograms. Good luck.

Well I almost always wear a bra during the day, unless I have a really nice tank top on, then I would consider not wearing one. But I do like to sleep in a big shirt without my bra, it makes me feel free.  Try it sometime its very comfy.

No not necessarily, it depends on the bra..if the bra is synthetic (not cotton) it can increase bateria growth on your skin. Additionally, the wider band on a sports bra could potentially restrict your lymph nodes under your arms which clean toxins out of your body...So a cotton sports bra that is not too tight is just fine and maybe better

Silly question. The question "why do boys wear bra?" would be much more interesting!

If you gain weight, eventually some of the fat will wind up on your chest, but it'll first go to your hips, thighs, upper arms, etc, etc.  And it won't be that much of a difference, maybe a cup size.\n\nGenetics tell us what size breasts women are going to wind up with, so unfortunately, what you get is what you're stuck with unless you get pregnant or get surgery.

of course not!!! All those products you see on tv that says that it will help your breast enlarge is absolutely false. They are actually harmful and you have to be careful cause harmful can cause Brest cancer. The only thing I can suggest is maybe getting a push up bra from Victoria Secret. Work with what you have. Also get your guy to rub your breast every now and then. It might help. Just be happy with what you have.

maybe the bra your wearing those nasty wires tend to move then it sores the breast for days hint buy a good bra & hand wash it & air dry it, if you feel lumps get checked for cancer,if your going through mentapause thats just nature changing your body, if your having un protected sex may be pregnant some women as they say carry baby in there breast then too you can experince the soreness before,durring,or after your monthly cycle

anyone can get breast cancer. men get it too. the size or development of your breasts doesn't matter.\n\ndo a self check once a month. you'll understand your body better, and you'll notice that the fatty tissue that breasts are comprised of is often lumpy feeling, and then you won't freak out so much.
