Experts' Reminder: Stay Away from Breast Diseases Starting with the Correct Posture
Gynecological experts have introduced that breast diseases, which cause great suffering to women, are common and frequently-occurring diseases. They are also one of the main diseases threatening women's physical and mental health. These diseases can be classified into five major categories: mastitis, hyperplasia of mammary glands, fibroadenoma of the breast, breast cysts, and breast cancer. The causes of these diseases are relatively complex. If not treated in time or improperly treated, they may lead to pathological changes, posing a constant threat to life.
Then, how should we protect our breasts, the most vulnerable part of a woman's body, to keep them away from breast diseases?
Gynecological experts point out that only by ensuring the health of the breasts can we stay away from breast diseases. Poor posture can affect the health of the breasts. Therefore, staying away from breast diseases starts with adopting the correct posture.
So, what postures can affect the health of a woman's chest? Below, the experts explain several common poor postures:
[1] Sleeping on your stomach: This severely compresses the chest, causing sagging and indentation of the breasts. Therefore, you should try to avoid sleeping on your stomach as much as possible, and it is best to sleep in a supine position with a slight inclination to the right.
[2] Bending over at a desk: When women bend over at a desk and neglect the health of their breasts, many will experience symptoms such as breast congestion, stabbing pain, soreness in the chest and back muscles, and other discomforts in the armpit area that are difficult to describe. These symptoms are increasing day by day, posing a significant threat to the health of women's breasts, so timely prevention is necessary.
[3] Slouching: Slouching compresses the chest tissue. Over time, this can affect the health of the chest. Therefore, you should maintain an upright posture with your chest out.
[4] Hugging arms: Many women often cross their arms in front of their chests, which adds extra burden to the chest. You should relax and let your hands naturally hang down by your sides, frequently stretch, which helps improve the shape of the chest.
[5] Bending forward: Due to a fast-paced work schedule, people often unconsciously slouch, increasing the burden on the lumbar vertebrae, obstructing blood circulation, and affecting the development of the pectoral muscles. Therefore, women should straighten their waists regularly, and when tired, stand against the wall for a few minutes, which will make your chest feel more comfortable.
Experts remind us that to stay away from breast diseases, attention must be paid to protecting the health of the breasts in daily life. If any adverse symptoms in the breasts are found, a timely examination and treatment should be conducted at a regular hospital.
