What to do if your breasts hurt because your bra is too tight?

For adolescent or adult women, wearing a bra is a must, because it not only brings out the beauty of the breasts, but also helps women solve many problems, such as preventing sagging breasts and so on. However, many women always feel chest pain when wearing bras. The main reason is that the bra size is not suitable. So, what should I do if my bra is too tight and my breasts hurt?

1. Does the pain under the chest have anything to do with wearing tight underwear?

The pain under the chest is related to wearing tight underwear. There is currently no evidence that wearing a bra will inevitably cause breast disease, but if the bra is not chosen appropriately or worn improperly, it will indeed cause a series of health problems. For example, some women choose push-up bras or bras that are slightly smaller than their actual breasts in order to highlight their cleavage and make their breasts appear fuller. In this way, a bra that is too tight will cause compression on the breasts and affect the blood circulation in the chest, which may increase the risk of breast diseases over time.

2. It is best not to wear a push-up bra or a bra with a steel ring

The breasts are richly distributed with blood vessels, glandular ducts, lymphatic vessels and nerves, which play a role in nutrition and metabolism of the breasts. If the bra is too small, especially a push-up bra or a bra with an underwire on the bottom, it will squeeze the breasts, affect blood circulation, cause breast ischemia, cause pain, lead to blockage of lymph glands in the breasts, slow metabolism, increase toxins in the mammary alveoli, and induce infection or breast hyperplasia. The displacement of the steel ring will compress more than a dozen acupuncture points on the liver meridian, causing poor meridian flow, which is the obstruction of lymphatic return mentioned above. Therefore, it is best not to wear push-up bras or bras with underwires.

3. What to do if your breasts hurt when wearing a bra

Generally speaking, if the bra is too small and the breasts are squeezed, it will indeed feel a little uncomfortable, but it will not cause pain. At this time, you need to consider whether you have some breast diseases, such as breast hyperplasia or tumors, and you need to go to the hospital for examination.

We should also consider breast hyperplasia. If the symptoms of breast hyperplasia are not very serious, you can temporarily not receive treatment. If the symptoms are severe, you can take medication for treatment. Fibrocystic breast disease is the most common cause of breast pain, and more than 80% of fibrocystic breast disease have varying degrees of breast pain.

Many people think that breast tenderness before menstruation that eases or disappears after menstruation is a normal reaction to the menstrual period. It is often because of this concept that the best treatment period for breast hyperplasia is missed. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for an examination and receive symptomatic treatment after finding out the results.
