Warning: Dangerous from wearing a bra is too tight and a wake-up call for all women

There is a rather dangerous habit of women now that they wear tight bra to show their looks. They are unaware that wearing too tight bras can lead to serious illnesses such as tuberculosis and cancer, which can even lead to sudden death.

Recently, the case of a 51-year-old woman who had a tumor formed in the middle of her chest by wearing a tight-fitting bra with a stiff frame is a wake-up call for all women. Lynne McConnell (51) regularly uses a wireless undershirt and has a stiff brace on the hem. Accordingly, in June 2018, a painful pea-small tumor formed in the center of the chest and it quickly developed into a 4cm hard stone-like tumor. Lynne McConnell was prescribed antibiotics when doctors mistook cysts as abscesses due to infection.

But this drug did not work and Lynne McConnell was forced to go to the local breast clinic a month later. Then surgery to remove the tumor. Surgeons told Mrs. McConnell that the stiff-edged bra blocked the pores and caused the cyst to grow. Lynne McConnell took 3 months to heal that cyst. Lynne McConnell said the scar still exists and now has to wear loose sports bra.

The effect of wearing a bra is too tight

Breast cancer

One of the causes of a woman's frightening breast cancer is rooted in the daily routine of wearing tight bra. Because tight bra will interfere with the flow of lymphatic system to mammary gland cells. When the lymphatic system is not well circulated, the fluid will be stagnant and will form a lump for a long time. When the tumor is formed, it causes pain in the chest area, more dangerous is that if not detected and treated promptly, it is possible to form breast cancer cells extremely dangerous.

Research around the world has also shown that women who wear tight-fitting bras for more than 12 hours a day are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than those who wear loose coats that feel comfortable or sisters 'let loose' chest. Because when wearing the shirt is too tight, the nipples are squeezed for a long time will stimulate the abnormal development of breast tissue cells, limiting the flow of lymph in the 'double mountain', creating breast tumors and can become cancer.

Breast tuberculosis

Like tuberculosis, for example, it sounds very mythical, but in fact in Vietnam there have been many cases of this unexpected disease. It is the bra that is too tight, tightening the first round, causing the heat, itching, scratching and scratching of the skin, causing the inadvertent TB germs to go straight to the wound on the skin of the mammary gland leading to breast enlargement.

Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases

A too tight bra will tighten up the chest area, putting pressure on the chest and rib muscles and interfering with blood circulation in the chest area and cardiovascular system. Gradually, the respiratory and cardiovascular system will be affected significantly and cause disease.

Back pain, headache

Choosing the wrong bra size is also the cause of back pain. According to a statistic, 70% of women who wear bra too tight are more likely to suffer from back pain than women wearing proper size bras.

Physiotherapist Sammy Margo, a spokesman for Chartered Physiotherapy Association, said: 'There is a direct link between wearing too tight a bra and problems with the back, neck and bad postures. . 'A tight bra can put pressure on nerves, muscles and blood vessels around the shoulders, back and ribs, leading to pain, headaches, legs and arms.

Even too tight bra straps can put pressure on the head of the shoulder, leading to shoulder pain and arm pain '. Some studies have also concluded that too tight bras can cause lumps or skin lesions.

Wearing the wrong size bra will greatly affect your health. So when choosing to buy bras, you should pay attention to the following issues:

- Raise your hands high above your head, if the bra tends to slip up in the direction the arm is raised, it proves that your bra is too wide.

- If the loop on the back of the bra is slid higher than the front part of the chest, then you are wearing a shirt that is too wide. Should choose to buy a smaller bra to keep the back of the body tight and fit with the front part.

- If the middle part of the bra, the joint of the two coats does not lie close to the chest area, but it rises high, creating a gap. That means you have chosen the size of the shirt too small compared to the breast, making the shirt not close to the body. Try the size of the shirt that has a larger effect.

- If your breast is overflowed, then the shirt you wear has the string part and the coat part too small compared to the breast.

- Two bra straps on the shoulder should only bear about 10% of the weight of the breast. If these two straps shoulder most of the weight of the breast, you should choose a smaller shirt.
