Why do women have breasts?

There are many differences between women and men in terms of body structure, especially in terms of sexual organs. These differences allow men and women to have reproductive abilities after they come together. The female body structure is slightly more complex than the male body structure. They are also more vulnerable to diseases than men. If you don't take precautions, diseases can easily occur. Why do women have breasts? Let’s talk about it below.

1. Why do women have breasts?

1. Breast meridians

We talked about the Chong Meridian before. The Chong Meridian starts at the perineum, then branches out into a fork and goes up along the Ren Meridian along the midline on both sides. Because women have insufficient Qi and sufficient blood, the Chong Meridian disperses in the chest, causing breasts to grow.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi is the commander of blood, and it is Qi that carries blood upward. From the perspective of meridians, the Ren meridian is responsible for blood. Once the Ren meridian is unblocked, a boost to the Chong meridian will make a person's Qi and blood sufficient. During a girl's puberty, if she has sufficient blood and qi, her breasts will begin to develop and her menstruation will occur.

The liver meridian is also related to the breasts. The Liver Meridian is connected to the Ren, Du and Chong meridians as well as the uterus and mammary glands, so the Liver Meridian is also responsible for storing blood.

The stomach meridian is also related to the breasts. The Yangming Stomach Meridian starts at the Yingxiang point. After running down from the Yingxiang point, it runs along the midline of the breast. Therefore, a woman's breastfeeding after giving birth depends particularly on sufficient stomach qi. A mother can only produce milk if she can eat. Breast milk is actually transformed from blood. After a child is born, he needs to get very nutritious and easily digestible substances. Blood is this substance. After the blood is converted into milk, it can be used to feed the child.

The inner side of the breast runs along the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, which governs essence and blood, so there is less blood and more qi here.

The outer side of the breast runs along the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot. The spleen controls muscles, so there is more qi and less blood here. The outer side also runs through the foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian, which runs from the supraclavicular pelvis to the armpit, along the chest and over the flank.

The pericardium meridian and lung meridian run on the upper outer side of the breast. The pericardium meridian runs along the chest and out of the ribs, three inches below the armpit.

2. Breasts are a storage place for blood

A woman's breasts are actually a storage warehouse for blood.

A woman's life is related to blood at many key points. For example, women lose some blood every month due to menstruation. Since blood loss is going to occur, we must ensure that the blood content is sufficient. Nowadays, some young women have smaller menstrual volumes and show some menopausal symptoms at a young age. This is a sign of insufficient stomach qi, which is caused by bad lifestyle habits, such as excessive weight loss and poor eating habits that lead to blood deficiency.

During a woman's pregnancy, the two most basic things that cannot be damaged are the father's sperm and the mother's blood. For the father, it depends on the quality of his sperm, and for the mother, it depends on whether her blood content is sufficient. If the blood is insufficient, it will have a great impact on the child's development.

In short, a woman's breasts develop into a blood reserve warehouse in advance. She cannot wait until she is about to give birth to make preparations, as that would be too late. Therefore, breasts develop slowly from puberty.

The above is the answer to why women have breasts. Women’s breasts have the important function of breastfeeding. Therefore, you must protect your breasts in normal times. If you feel any discomfort in your breasts, you must receive effective treatment and control in a timely manner. This is the only way to ensure the health of the body and normal reproductive and breastfeeding functions.
