There are many things and misconceptions spread in the society regarding women’s body. There are many myths, especially regarding breast size and related health problems, which most women believe to be true. Generally, if there is a slight difference in the size of both the breasts, then women get nervous. But the truth is that the size of both breasts is never exactly the same. It is very normal for this difference to occur due to hormonal changes in the body with increasing age. Many times, during development, the growth of one breast starts first, but the growth of both stops simultaneously. In such a situation, the size of one may remain slightly smaller. Apart from this, change in the shape of breasts is also seen due to genetic reasons. There is no need for any kind of medical treatment for this. Let us know in detail about some more such myths related to breasts and the real truth behind them.
Does breastfeeding change the shape of the breasts?
This is the most common misconception due to which many new mothers are afraid of feeding their babies breast milk and start giving them bottle milk, which is not at all good for the baby’s health. The truth is that breastfeeding does not spoil the shape of the breasts. Actually, breast size increases due to weight gain of women during pregnancy. Apart from this, with increasing age the elasticity of the skin starts decreasing, which can cause the skin to become loose. In fact, science says that breastfeeding helps a lot in bringing the breasts back to their correct shape and in keeping them shapely.
The truth about wearing bra and breast cancer
There is also a fear spread in the society that wearing tight or underwire bra increases the risk of breast cancer. According to Dr. Ajay Sharma, senior oncologist of Max Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, there is no scientific basis for this. Till date, no such research has come to light which can prove that sleeping in an underwire bra at night or wearing a dark colored bra causes breast cancer. Yes, it is true that if you wear a wrong size or too tight bra, you may get rashes or other skin related problems. Even nipple piercings have no scientific evidence of causing cancer.
Does the size increase by touching or pressing?
Due to this myth many women are not able to fully enjoy their intimate life. They feel that if their partner presses or touches their breasts, their size will increase. This is completely a mere rumour. Women’s breast size increases only due to hormonal imbalance or physical changes. This has nothing to do with pressing the breasts. Therefore, we should remove this baseless fear from our mind and enjoy our personal life.
The truth about pain during breastfeeding
Many women feel that feeding their baby is very painful and uncomfortable. This is not completely true. There is a correct technique for breastfeeding. If you learn it the right way from your doctor, it is not troublesome at all. However, you may feel some pain or discomfort in the first few weeks, but your body gets used to it within a few days. On the contrary, if you do not feed milk to the child, there may be complaints of heaviness and pain in the breasts. Breastfeeding provides a lot of lightness and comfort to the breasts.
Does oil and cream massage increase size?
There are many medicines, oils and creams available in the market that claim to increase breast size. Due to this claim, many women resort to massage. But scientifically there is no solid evidence for this. Studies show that these medicines or oil massage do not make any significant or permanent difference on the size of the breasts. The development of the body depends on its own natural and genetic processes.
