Does Bra Cause Breast Problems?

June 10, 2009


The motive to wear a bra is to support the tender breast muscle and protect them from any injury. But there have been many researchers which raise the question if bras are more of a trouble than a help.

According to a study conducted at Harvard University in 1991, women who did not wear bras had 60% lower risk of developing breast cancer than the general population. Also, in the same year, a study was published in a Japanese medical journal saying that bras actually promote breast sagging.

Ironically, you will find many other articles on web which maintain that bras prevent sagging, especially after delivery of the baby. Many experts  suggest that wearing a loose bra to the breast feeding mothers even while asleep helps to prevent their breasts from sagging.

Breast with underwire have been declared hazardous to health by many experts. It gives stress to the breasts.

Worst are bras made of formaldehyde and other harmful chemicals which may cause blisters and rashes on the skin.

On removing of the bra after hours if your breasts feel a little pain then you must change your bra. This is a way to know that your current bra is trying to give your breasts a different shape than it’s natural one.

There is also much doubt about, if wearing a black bra causes breast cancer? Black act as good radiation absorbent and hence it is able to absorb the ultraviolent radiations better.  So, to be on safer side, we must avoid wearing black bra.

Even your sports bra should not be very tight.  Remember, the only function of bra is to support the breast and not to alter their  natural shape.

To boil things down, to be on a safer side you must wear only that bra which supports your breasts in their natural shape.  Also, the bras must be made of natural fabrics like cotton and silk.
