Forcing women to press their "accessory breasts" may increase the chance of cancer

　　When buying a bra, the shopping guide will often remind you: "When wearing a bra, you must tuck in all the 'auxiliary breasts' (that is, the fat under the armpits)! ”
 
　　However, recently held breast disease At the publicity event, experts pointed out that squeezing accessory breasts is one of the four common misunderstandings in daily breast care. Forcibly stuffing the accessory breast into a bra will cause local blood circulation to be sluggish and may even increase the chance of cancer. In addition, squeezing the "acne" around the areola is not conducive to maintaining breasts healthy。
 
　　Misunderstanding 1: Use scrub to remove "acne" on areola”
 
　　A young girl discovered that there were tiny "pimple-like" pimples on her areola, so she squeezed them with her hands. When she squeezed, a white toothpaste-like substance came out. However, within a few days, these "pimples" grew again. If she squeezed them repeatedly, the pimples tended to grow.
 
　　 “The areolar glands have a secretory function and are undergoing physiological metabolism of the body. ”Yang Haiyan said that the areola of the human body skin There are hair and glands, and the glands include sweat glands, sebaceous glands and mammary glands. The sebaceous glands, also known as areolar glands, are some obvious small bumps on the areola, which are large and superficial. They are used to secrete oil and protect the delicate nipple and areola. Secretions protect the skin, lubricate nipples and baby The function of the lips.
 
　　She suggested that girls with "acne" on their areola should not wear bras with thick sponge pads, especially in hot summers. They are not breathable and have some invisible fibers blocking the openings of the glands. If "acne" recurs or the pimples become larger, it's best to see a specialist for examination. Never use facial exfoliating scrubs to remove areola "corner plugs" to avoid infection.

　　Myth 2: Putting "fat" in a bra can enhance your breasts
 
　　 “Don't underestimate the accessory mammary gland. Like the mammary gland, it can also have emotions. ”The first affiliated to Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Professor Yang Haiyan, director of the breast department, said that a correct understanding of the accessory breast is important for female Breast care is equally important.
 
　　There are two "milk lines" in the human body from the armpits on both sides to the vagina. However, since human evolution, only one pair of mammary glands has been retained, and the other accessory mammary glands have degenerated. but, clinical There are also people in the world who can grow two or even three pairs of breasts, complete with nipples, areolas, and breast tissue. Yang Haiyan said that 95% of accessory breast glands occur in the chest, mostly in the front line of the armpit.
 
　　Yang Haiyan introduced that accessory breasts with glandular tissue may appear with the menstrual cycle. swelling and pain , benign and malignant tumors of the accessory breast may also occur.
 
　　 “Once a lump is found in the armpit, it is necessary to carefully identify whether it is a lump growing in the accessory breast or a breast lump extending upward. ”Because the accessory breast grows close to the skin or grows larger, it will cause discomfort in the armpit and affect the appearance. Therefore, it can be removed according to personal wishes. However, for accessory breasts without glandular tissue, which usually do not cause any symptoms, do not affect physical activities and do not affect the appearance, "generally it is not recommended to go under the knife." ”
 
　　Yang Haiyan suggested: Do not squeeze the accessory breasts casually, and try not to pull the accessory breasts at ordinary times. Especially when wearing a bra, you should wear a bra with appropriate elasticity. When choosing a sleeveless top, the chest size should not be too narrow. Some shaping bras with the selling point of "magic breast enlargement" emphasize that when wearing them, all the fat under the armpits should be stuffed into the bra, so that the breasts will appear "full". However, this is equivalent to squeezing the accessory breast for a long time, causing local blood supply to be poor, which can also cause proliferative diseases and increase the chance of cancer.
