Breast health daily care

Don’t mess around, observe regularly, and avoid clear risk factors, which is 100 times more effective than spending tens of thousands of dollars on breast enhancement essential oils and getting a beauty salon unblocking card.

The last time I went to the breast emergency department with my best friend, her chest was so swollen that it hurt when touched. The doctor sighed after asking her medical history. She went to a beauty salon the day before to do the so-called "unblocking and unblocking". Here we just talk about the long-controversial chest massage issue: There are currently two mainstream views in the industry. In the traditional Chinese medicine system, acupoint massage in regular hospital massage departments can indeed relieve breast swelling and pain before menstruation, but only if you have done imaging examinations in advance to rule out the possibility of malignant lesions. , the operators also have formal qualifications; and most Western breast medicine doctors do not recommend ordinary people to do breast massage casually, especially breast enhancement essential oils with unknown ingredients added. Indiscriminate massage may stimulate abnormal breast hyperplasia. If there are undiagnosed malignant lesions, it may even accelerate the spread.

Don’t tell me that I had believed in the evil of adjustable bras before, saying they could tighten the breasts and prevent sagging. After wearing them for half a year, the first thing I did after get off work every day was to pull off my bras. The marks on my chest would not go away for a long time. Later, the medical examiner said that the lymphatic drainage under my armpits was a bit poor, so I quickly threw away all the steel ring bras. Here is an extreme rumor: Many people say that "wearing underwear can cause cancer." There is currently no clear research that can prove the correlation between daily wearing of underwear and the incidence of breast cancer. On the contrary, big-breasted sisters wear non-wired underwear with suitable support every day, which can reduce the pull of the suspensory ligament of the breast, and in turn reduce the probability of sagging. However, there is really no need to choose the kind of strong adjustment type that makes you breathless. You can not wear it at home or on rest days, just let the breasts breathe. The only reminder is that you must wear professional sports bras when exercising. This is a recognized precaution in the field of sports medicine. Otherwise, the chest will shake too much when running and jumping, and the suspensory ligament will be strained, which is irreversible.

Don’t believe those anxious posts on the Internet that “nodules are cancer when you feel them”. When I found out about grade 2 nodules during my physical examination last year, I was so scared that I stayed up half the night and searched Baidu. I almost made arrangements for my own funeral. However, the doctor said that 80% of women have breast hyperplasia or benign nodules, and most of them don’t need special treatment as long as they are reviewed regularly. The correct time for self-examination is 7 to 10 days after the end of menstruation. When taking a shower, apply shower gel and press the entire chest and armpit area with your fingertips flatly. Do not pinch hard with your hands - most of the hard lumps pinched out are normal breast tissue. If you find obvious asymmetry on both sides, inexplicable nipple discharge, sunken skin, or feel a fixed lump with clear boundaries, go to the hospital immediately. Don't search blindly on your own or look for folk remedies.

There are also many dietary misunderstandings that have been spread for more than ten years. They say that eating papaya to enlarge breasts and drinking soy milk will cause breast cancer. There is really no scientific basis at all. The protease in papaya is decomposed in the stomach and cannot reach the chest at all; the soy isoflavones in soy milk are phytoestrogens, which can help regulate estrogen levels in the body. As long as they are not drank as water every day, they will not increase the risk of cancer at all. On the contrary, those who drink full-sugar milk tea, eat deep-fried fried chicken, stay up until two or three o'clock in bed, and often get sulky because of work have disrupted endocrine systems and are prone to breast problems. By the way, there is also the controversy over birth control pills. Many people are opposed to the word "hormone" when they hear it. It is true that emergency contraceptive pills will cause estrogen to surge in a short period of time, and it is best not to take them more than twice a year. However, regular short-acting birth control pills, as long as they are prescribed by a doctor after evaluating your physical condition, can relieve some people's breast swelling and pain before menstruation, and can also regulate menstruation. It really doesn't need to be beaten to death with a stick.

In fact, breasts are like other organs in our body. They are neither delicate nor special. You don’t need to apply essential oil on them every day and press them for half an hour. You don’t need to wear uncomfortable push-up bras to show off your breasts. Pay more attention to how they feel. If they feel painful and swollen, rest more and be less angry. Have a breast ultrasound every year (plus mammography if you are over 40 years old), which is more reliable than any fancy maintenance. If you really feel uncomfortable, go to the breast department of a regular hospital. Don't listen to the nonsense from people in beauty salons. After all, they won't be responsible for you if something goes wrong, right?
