Breast Health

Breast health is often associated with breast cancer. Most women, however, have non-cancerous breast health concerns as well. These include breast pain, breastfeeding, nipple discharge, fibrocystic breasts, and lymph nodes.

How old were you when you started wearing a bra?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well it depends. Usually around 9. If you don't have anything of a bust just yet, wear a training bra because if you don't your breasts can begin to grow irregularly. But if your breasts are already starting to grow, ask a female parent or visit a bra shop, and they can measure you and fit you with a bra, a process that is not very invasive. It's normal to feel embarrassed about things like this, but try not to be, it's all a part of growing up as a female in our culture.

What is the largest natural breast size recorded?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, I was trying to figure this out also, but I am a 32H or 34G depending on the bra. They are natural and I am not overweight, and I am sure that there are people that have larger breasts than I do without being extremely overweight. I would guess that there has to be someone out there with at least a 32 or 34 J or K cup. It is just hard to know because most women wear the wrong bra size and it is really difficult to get a bra cup size larger than an I.

I think, possibly, the largest breasts belong to Norma Stitz, a USA born nude model, with a web page (look up her name and you'll find pictures), originally named Annie Hawkins-Turner. Supposedly she wears a size 56WW Bra. However, she could be considered "extremely" overweight. No definite answer can be given as long as "extremely overweight" is undefined. The chubbier, the more likely the breasts will store fat and get bigger. There is also something called Gigantomastia that sometimes happens to women when pregnant. A book called "Human Oddities" by Martin Monestier has a topless photo of a woman with 44-pound breasts measuring 33 inches in circumference. Google "Gigantomastia" and you'll see some astonishing medical photos.

It's possible; Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.

What is nipple retraction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A retracted or inverted nipple is one that doesn't stick out or protrude past the level of the surrounding skin. If the nipple has always been this way, there is no cause for concern -- it's normal. If a nipple that used to protrude now is retracted, the finding could be a sign of a mass or tumor in the breast.

Can you get an STD from sucking on nipples?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I highly doubt it. The only result of nipple sucking is a very arousing sensation. Nipples do not have a tendancy to contract or give STD's to anyone. If you feel too conscious about either you or your partner contracting STD's from each other, consider talking to your doctor about it and have tests done to solve any worries. Better safe than sorry.
Yes.

If the breast belongs to a woman who is lactating, HIV can be spread through breast milk.

Otherwise probably not.
Nope Of course you can. STDs ARE present in breast milk. Many women can lactate during sex!

Yes, but breast implants can obscure mammogram images, decreasing the ability of mammograms to reveal breast cancer. Still, studies show that mammograms are an effective way to screen for breast cancer in women with breast implants.

Why are my nipples sore but I still have not started my period two months after i stopped using depo provera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not sure about your nipples being sore but Depo provera is probably one of the worst birth controls to take. It is very effective, and in fact too effective. Studies have shown that after stopping Depo Provera, you can go for up to 5 years without having another period. So if you ever plan on being pregnant eventually, this is not the birth control to take. I highly recomend seeing your OBGYN and talking to them about the situation.

--Hi, i had my first and last shot on may 2008, and it was my last one because of the horrible side effects: crazy mood swings, irregular spotting, etc. Recently like..3 days ago I've been having really sore breasts and nipples! the nipples were the ones to throw me off because i never experienced anything like this before! It doesn't feel like how it used to. I was scared i was pregnant also, but i read that sore nipples are a side effect of coming off depo provera. Do you still have sore nipples??

-Hello, today is June 11th and i got my depo shot April 26th. I also didnt not get a period yet, not even a sign of spotting. I called my doctor and she said it could have worked faster than usual and stopped my period all together. some people get spotting other don't, that's also what my bfs doctor said. i took a pregnancy test and both came back negative. i am going to take one in a week just to make sure. My nipples hurt right now, have for thr past few days. ive also had minor cramps. this usually happened when i was getting my period before my depo shot. this is mt first injection.

Do womens breast get longer as they get older?

Asked by Wiki User

No, as you get older your breast tissue becomes tender and the skin isn't as elastic as before and then gravity starts taking its place.

Why can't a mammogram and an ultrasound detect a lump in your breast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mammograms and ultrasounds only detect cancerous lumps.. or lumps that have cancer.

Mammograms and Ultrasounds can detect benign lumps/masses in the breast, Mammograms are unable to distinguish the difference if something is solid or cystic, so an ultrasound is used in conjunction with a mammogram.

If the nipple is a third one, it may be possible if your doctor thinks you are undergoing damage to your mental health about it. Otherwise, it may be deemed as cosmetic surgery if it is not causing any harm to you.
