Breast Health Tips

For the vast majority of ordinary women, the most cost-effective core tips for breast health are never to follow the trend and buy breast enlargement creams or do breast massages, but to "don't mess around, avoid clear risks of breast injury, and do screenings on time." This is the most practical summary after I have been in the breast department for 7 years and have seen thousands of cases.

Don't tell me, the "breast care tips" posted on the Internet are most likely to be scams. I recently saw a 26-year-old girl who saved three months' salary to apply for a "breast detoxification annual card" from a beauty salon. She went there twice a week and applied it for less than two months. Type 3 breast nodules that were asymptomatic became so painful that even wearing underwear was uncomfortable. When she came for an ultrasound, she found that the blood flow signals around the nodules were richer than before. Of course, this does not mean that all massages are useless. There is indeed a view in the field of traditional Chinese medicine that light massage on acupuncture points such as Tanzhong and breast root can relieve premenstrual breast swelling and pain. However, the premise is that you must find a regular traditional Chinese medicine doctor to perform the operation. The "dredging technique" of the beauty salon, which involves vigorous rubbing, especially if they apply essential oils with unknown ingredients on your breasts, can really hide and hide.

Oh, by the way, many people struggle with the question of whether to wear underwear when sleeping. I have been asked hundreds of times. In fact, there is no unified conclusion in the industry: one school of thought believes that sisters with a C cup or above wearing soft-supportive sleeping underwear can avoid breast traction when sleeping on the side and reduce the risk of long-term sagging. ； Another group believes that wearing underwear while sleeping will compress the superficial lymph nodes and blood vessels of the chest and affect local circulation. In fact, there is absolutely no need to insist on the standard answer. If you have big breasts and it always hurts when you sleep on your side, wearing a non-wired, pressure-free pure cotton sleep bra is no problem. If you have small breasts and you always feel suffocated when wearing underwear, sleeping naked will be more comfortable.

Previously, a patient came to me with half a box of collagen drink and asked me, saying that after drinking it for half a month, her breasts had indeed swelled. Can it really enlarge breasts? When I checked her hormone levels, the estrogen level was almost twice the normal range. To put it bluntly, many "breast enlargement" and "beauty" health products sold on the market secretly add exogenous estrogen. Short-term consumption will indeed make the breasts congested and swollen, making them look "bigger", but long-term consumption will only greatly increase the risk of breast hyperplasia and even lesions. On the contrary, people have been afraid of soy products such as soy milk and tofu for many years. The soy isoflavones in them are phytoestrogens, which are regulated in both directions. If the estrogen in your body is high, it will help you lower it, and if it is low, it will help you supplement it. Drinking a cup every day will not damage the breast glands at all. Don’t listen to the rumors on the Internet.

Oh, and there is another point that is most easily overlooked. The breast is really an "emotional organ." I have seen too many girls whose breasts are so swollen that they cannot touch them after staying up all night for a week to catch up on projects or after having an argument with their partner. When I came to check, the breast hyperplasia was getting worse. It doesn’t mean that you have to hold your temper and be a good person every day. When you are really unhappy, go to a friend to scold you, go for a few runs, or even have a good meal to let off steam. Don’t keep your emotions stuffed in your heart and block your chest. It will be more effective than ten massages.

Finally, when it comes to screening, don’t think that just because you are young means you will be fine. Last year, the youngest patient with breast fibroid treated in our department was only 19 years old. He was still a college student. He didn’t dare to say anything when he felt a lump. It took him half a year to come. It had grown to 2.3 centimeters, so he could only undergo minimally invasive surgery. In fact, girls over the age of 20 can feel it by themselves 3-7 days after each menstrual period. If they feel a lump or the breasts on both sides feel obviously different, don't go to Baidu and go directly to the hospital for examination. A breast ultrasound is done once a year for those over 30 years old, and a mammography is done for those over 40 years old. The two together only cost a few hundred yuan, which is 10,000 times more reliable than spending tens of thousands of yuan to get a maintenance card.

In fact, there are so many mysterious tips. Breasts are more durable than you think, and they are also more delicate than you think. Don't mess with them, don't rub them, eat things from unknown sources, be less sulky, and check them regularly. They are better than any tips posted on the Internet. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to a regular hospital to see the breast department as soon as possible. Don't believe in the IQ tax of "detoxification" and "removing knots", that's enough.
