Big breasts don't mean healthier. This is a plus and a minus

If you are a woman, which one do you prefer, having large or small breasts? According to data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 300,000 women in America have breast implants. The data in Indonesia itself, although estimated to be small, continues to increase.

A hospital in Indonesia alone reported that to do breast implants, patients must be willing to queue up to two months if necessary. But do you know, the advantages and disadvantages of having large breasts?

The advantages of having large breasts

Having large breasts will certainly make your chest feel warm even in cold weather, because in cold weather, the body will burn fat to produce warmth. Besides, all eyes will naturally be on you. Research conducted by the University of Nebraska on 29 male participants and 36 female participants even revealed that, compared to the face, the breast area and waist circumference were the body parts that received the most attention, both men and women.

The study found that men spent longer staring at their eyes in both areas, to estimate, the potential for offspring potential of a woman to whom they were looking.

Unlike the men, women spend longer time glancing at these two areas, for other reasons. Women focus their eyes on these two areas of the body, for the purpose of comparing with their own.

Disadvantages of having large breasts

A study published in The Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery revealed that women with large breasts could be at risk of reducing five years from their predicted life expectancy. Some of the disadvantages of having other large breasts are:

1. Causes pain and aches and bad posture

According to an internist, Doctor Jomo James, there will be pain in several areas of your body due to large breasts, especially in the back and neck area, due to increased weight gain in your chest area. This build-up of weight on your chest will also make you more likely to form a lordosis posture (a posture as if your bones are pulled forward) to support that weight.

2. Skin problems

At the bottom of a large breast, it will actually be more moist than a smaller breast. This condition then forms a suitable container for live mushrooms. Thus, large breasts will be more susceptible to developing fungal infections. This situation can also cause the skin in that area to itch easily, uneven color, and cause easy sores.

3. Mood discomfort

Uncomfortable posture and poor physical appearance are certainly prone to getting lopsided comments from people around you. Thus, most people who have large breasts will experience a decrease in self-confidence. In addition, your mood will certainly get worse, when you don't find clothes that fit your breast size.

4. Susceptible to breast cancer

Research conducted by Chamnida Sellahewa, revealed that women with large breast sizes, will be more at risk of developing breast cancer. A study of 120 patients who underwent breast removal (mastectomy) because of this breast cancer, found that patients with a mastectomy weighing more than 800 grams (large breasts) had a larger cancer tumor size, compared to patients with a mastectomy weight of less than 800. gram.

How do you maintain healthy breasts?

Apart from the high intake of calories which only ends up as fat (considering that the breasts are composed of fat cells), increasing breast size is a combination of the existence of several triggering factors. High levels of the hormone estrogen in your body, use of hormonal contraceptives, conditions that are pregnant or breastfeeding, and exposure to certain chemicals can also be some of the contributing factors.

Handling of large breasts is usually done with medical procedures for breast reduction or breast reduction. However, this medical procedure has side effects that will affect the volume of milk you produce. So that the doctors do not recommend this medical action, if you are still breastfeeding.

Based on the previous description, large breasts can lead to breast cancer. So, if you have large breasts, you should immediately consult a doctor, if you find redness and itching and warmth and lumps around your breast area. Prevention is better than cure, apart from controlling your body's calorie intake, you should also control alcohol consumption and smoking behavior, if you have it.
