Not long ago, Xiao Jiu received a letter from a fan backstage:
I'm 23 years old and I've been having a hard time with my boyfriend lately. It's been a year together, and a while ago it happened to be a holiday, the two made an appointment to go out to play together, and they were very happy, but when they were taking a bath in the hotel at night, he suddenly said:
"How do your boobs feel so hard, it's different from the girls I've talked to before."
As soon as I heard this, the fire came up directly, "What do you mean? dislike my small breasts, and compare me to others?"
The boyfriend knew that he had said the wrong thing, "I'll just mention it, just ask questions, don't be angry, I don't dislike you."
Although, he kept coaxing me later, but I was still hurt by his evaluation, and I also fell into internal friction because of the problem of soft and hard.
In the public impression, women's breasts are usually considered to be soft, plump and elastic, but this is not the case.
1. Why are some girls have soft breasts and some are very hard?
The reason why breasts are soft and hard has to start with the structure of the breasts.
Breasts are generally made up of breast tissue, connective tissue, adipose tissue, and the suspensory ligament that hangs the breast, and the mammary glands largely determine the shape of the breast.
According to the proportion of fat and glands, breasts are divided into fat breasts and glandular breasts, the former has high fat content and is softer to the touch, while the latter has more glands, which not only feels harder to the touch, but also feels firmer overall.
In addition to the structure of the breast, the firmness of the chest may also be related to some special periods.
• Menstrual period: Before menstruation, the level of estrogen in a woman's body rises, which can lead to breast hyperplasia and edema of the mammary tissue, then the chest will become hard and even have a hard lump.
• Sexual life: During sexual intercourse, the secretion of estrogen in the woman's body will also increase, and the breast tissue will increase in a short period of time, resulting in hard breasts. And after the sex is over, it will resume.
• Lactation: During this period, the breast glands will secrete a large amount of milk, and if it is not pumped out in time, the milk ducts will be blocked, and the breasts will also become hard.
• Chest conditions: Some chest conditions can also cause the chest to become hard, especially if there is a pinprick-like stabbing pain in the chest and the left and right sides are not the same size, and it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
All in all, the chest itself is soft and hard, and you don't have to blindly pursue softness, let alone inferiority for it.
2. Do you believe these rumors about breasts?
Breasts have always been the top priority of women's health, have you ever fallen into misunderstandings about these breast "misconceptions"?
1. Can breast massage really enlarge breasts?
Don't think too much about it, the actual size of your breasts is determined by hormones and fat and thin, and it has nothing to do with massage. On the contrary, if you squeeze vigorously, it is likely to destroy the structure of the mammary gland, resulting in damage to the mammary duct and inducing cleavage disease. So stop thinking about miracles!
2. Can drinking soy milk make your breasts bigger?
Many people think that soy milk contains phytoestrogens, and drinking more can make the breasts plump. The truth is true, but everyone should pay attention to the problem of 'quantity', the content of phytoestrogens in a cup of soy milk is extremely low, and if you want to have an effect, you may have to drink 3.4 liters of soy milk every day, which is obviously unrealistic.
3. Does the dark color represent rich life experience?
Everyone's areola color is different, with some being dark and some being lighter. And the color is different in different periods, such as adolescence and pregnancy, when estrogen secretion increases, the areola color will be darker, and in postpartum and menopause, the amount of estrogen decreases, and the color will be slightly lighter. In addition, ultraviolet radiation and the friction stimulation of underwear will also deepen the color of the areola. Therefore, dark color does not mean rich life experience.
The importance of breasts to women is self-evident, and it is very necessary to pay attention to their health knowledge, but we must also pay attention to distinguish them, so as not to fall into misunderstandings, but hurt our health.
3. Protect your breasts every day, don't do these things again!
Breasts are a more fragile part of a woman's body, so you should pay special attention to their maintenance.
1. Wear tight underwear
Don't go out of your way to buy some tight underwear for the sake of looking good, it will hurt your breasts. Because there are fat and glandular tissues in the breast, as well as some small blood vessels, long-term squeezing can damage these tissues, thereby causing mastitis, breast hyperplasia and other diseases.
2. Eat high-calorie foods
A large intake of fatty and high-calorie foods not only easily leads to obesity and makes the body's estrogen level "oversupply", but also reduces the body's sensitivity to insulin and increases the risk of breast cancer.
3. Love to smoke and drink
Studies have found that women who drink 1-2 drinks a day have a 10% higher risk of breast cancer, 30% more than 3 drinks a day, and a 59% increase in breast cancer risk if they smoke a pack of cigarettes a day for 9 consecutive years. So, it's best to stay away from tobacco and alcohol.
4. Long-term anxiety and nervousness
Long-term anxiety and tension can lead to endocrine disorders, autonomic disorders, and increase the risk of breast diseases, so we should pay attention to emotional regulation and try to maintain a good mood.
5. Neglect inspections
Don't feel that the chest is fine if it doesn't hurt, in fact, 90% of breast cancer is not painful, so the physical examination should still be done regularly, especially for people who have early menarche (< 12 years old), late amenorrhea (> 55 years old), have a family history of breast/ovarian cancer, have never given birth or give birth for the first time, and are pregnant > 35 years old.
In addition, a harmonious and moderate sex life also has a positive effect on the maintenance of breasts, and when applauding love, women's breasts will experience cyclical changes of congestion, swelling and subsidence, which can promote breast blood circulation and contribute to breast health. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequency, too often may lead to an increase in estrogen and a relative decrease in progesterone, increasing the risk of breast hyperplasia.
Women's breasts need to be cared for, and I think we should pay more attention to health issues than the pursuit of "big breasts", do a good job of maintenance, and seek medical attention in time if there is a problem.
