Xiao Ai received a lot of private messages from female fans about chest consultation in the background some time ago:
"Why does my chest feel hard to the touch, could it be breast cancer?"
"Why do some girls have soft breasts and some have hard breasts?"
......
As an important part of women, the breasts are unique characteristics of women, but there are also unique problems of women.
Many women want their breasts to be big and soft in order to get in shape. So why do some women have soft breasts while others are hard?
1. Why are women's breasts some soft and some hard?
A woman's breasts are made up of fat, mammary glands, which are shaped like bunches of grapes, and the fat is filled on the surface.
In general, breast size can be divided into fat type (more fat) and glandular type (more breast tissue).
The fat type is soft to the touch, but it is prone to expansion and sagging, and may become smaller after losing weight, while the glandular type feels more elastic and has a tougher texture.
Not all breasts are soft and elastic, and the proportion of breast glands and fat is different, and the degree of softness and firmness of the breasts is different.
Generally, young women's breast glands are relatively compact, tougher, and the appearance of breasts is relatively straight, but as they age, the glands slowly degenerate and leave fat, which makes them easier to sag.
However, when a person becomes fat, the breast fat increases, the breasts will become softer, and the breast tissue will shrink as they age, and the breasts will lose their elasticity and become softer. However, if the breast is softened due to edema, it will not rebound immediately after compression, so be careful of the disease.
2. Why is the color of women's breasts darker and some lighter?
In women, the areola is pale pink before puberty, and as the areola grows older and the hormone secretion stabilizes, the areola will slowly darken and the areola diameter will increase.
However, the factor that determines the color of the chest is the number of melanocytes, which are stimulated by sex hormones to produce melanin, and the color will become a little darker.
Some people say that the darkening of the areola is due to the abundance of sex, but this is not true, because the color of the areola is mainly related to the number of melanocytes, not the friction that darkens, and it does not cause the areola to darken because of the abundance of sex.
3. To scientifically protect chest health, it is very important to do 4 things
As a woman's secondary sexual characteristics, breast is one of the important organs of the human body, but the high incidence of breast cancer and breast nodules has troubled many women, so how should women protect their breast health?
Human health reminds you to do the following to protect your chest health!
1. Maintain a good attitude
Many breast cancer patients are related to long-term poor mood, and women maintain a good attitude, a stable mental state, and learn to control their emotions, which is conducive to breast health.
2. Maintain an appropriate weight
Obesity promotes the production of estrogen, and high estrogen levels are associated with the progression of breast cancer, so it is important to keep your weight within the ideal range for breast health.
3. Choose the right underwear
According to statistics, 85% of the lymph fluid in the human body will flow through the breast and enter the lymph nodes under the armpits, and too tight underwear will affect the return of lymphatic fluid, resulting in the inability to remove toxins in the body in time.
It is recommended to wear underwear with comfortable material and suitable elasticity, and if possible, you can massage your breasts before going to bed.
4. Insist on regular inspections
Breast self-examination can be carried out at intervals, and patients should be treated in time if there is a problem, and people at high risk of breast cancer should pay more attention to breast cancer screening for early detection and early treatment.
Many women blindly pursue a good figure and want their breasts to become bigger and softer, but in fact, the softness and hardness of breasts are mainly related to the proportion of breasts and fat, and they should be treated correctly.
In order to protect your breast health and prevent breast cancer, it is important to have a good attitude, have regular check-ups, and maintain an appropriate weight.
