A well-known surgeon wrote a book about breast health disease. Basically they relate to cancer development factors.

For example, it is believed that the risk of cancer increases when taking contraceptive pills. And partly it is true, but women who have no additional risk factors have nothing to worry about. Increasing the risk of contraceptives is considered insignificant, and after taking over several years, this effect is completely offset. In addition, oral contraceptives reduce the risk of ovarian and rectal cancer.

Very parts in the culprit of the cancer record bras and breast implants. But studies show that this is not the case. Moreover, many scientists conclude that women who have established implants, breast cancer develops even less frequently than those who do not have them. According to experts, most likely, implants are not at all related to the risk of breast cancer, and the risk reduction is associated with other factors – most often they are established by women who give birth to the first child under 30 years and have a relatively low body mass index. And these are just known factors that reduce the risk of tumor. Neither tight cups, nor long wearing a bra, nor sleep in it have no effect on the risk of cancer. This is the reason that many myths are born around breast cancer. At the moment, a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as timely examination, is a better extent.
