Breast Health

We don't. They get hard when it's cold or some women get hard nipples when they are aroused. Same reasons some men have it actually.

Hello there. A approaching period can cause sore breasts and nipples so can any number of things from clothes or bra rubbing your breasts to early pregnancy symptoms and too much progesterone in your blood, hormonal problems, ovulating and being on birth control.

Your nipples are probably not "sucked in", but simply inverted. Some people's nipples are just naturally this way, and is not harmful or bad in any way. Everyone's breasts and nipples vary wildly, despite what you see in the media.

Inverted nipples are not normally an issue for breastfeeding or anything else. Surgery is possible to change the shape and protrusion.

It could be puberty.

:0???!!! becuase your body is going through a hard time trying to find sperm, and create milk for a baby in your breast, even 85% of the time there will be no sperm to find in ovalry tubes, the body is preparing for a baby. Like the lining in your uterus, that is why you feel cramping in your lower abdamon. This can also be effected be hormones, especially in young ladies who hav just recently started their period.

The mans nipple is a bit sensitive , but the lady will have a far more sensitive nipple.

Cold weather .. Thinking bout adult related stuff like turn ons and sexual stuff

Someone said that breast tissue is made up predominantly fat..... and that losing weight and reducing overall body fat will also reduce breast size. Although for the majority this might be accurate, and serve useful, sometimes, breast size has nothing to do with "fat". There are many skinny women with very large breasts; so that blows that theory. They could lose all the body fat in the world, in fact have none anywhere else, but STILL have large breasts. Some very overweight people, have very small breasts! So it isn't always contingent on body weight, or body fat percentage.

I say, love yourself as you are. We all come in a variety of shapes and sizes and we all have value and beauty. Strive for a healthy lifestyle and weight, but don't get caught up in the media propogated notion of what is "perfection" or "beautiful". Peace! : )

NO! Absolutely not! I wore an A cup most of my life. When I reached 24 years of age and had a baby, I was able to breast-feed the baby just fine. And that is what the female breast is for, anyway, so why need anything more? You are probably feeling insecure about the way you look because of your young age. People in our culture do say the dumbest things about women , and kids can be especially hurtful. It is perfectly normal to have small breasts, and some guys really like it - like my husband. Take a look at the famous actress Kate Hudson. She couldn't be larger than an A or B cup, and she is considered very sexy and beautiful. You are not only normal, but probably lovely and wonderful. Concentrate on your strengths and dress to flatter your figure. You will be fine!

Whatever you do, DON"T REMOVE THE JEWELRY. It'll trap the infection and possibly create an abscess. Go to your doctor and get some antibiotics. They'll help clear up the infection much faster. Keep cleaning your piercing with the sea salt and change the jewelry if it isn't steel or glass.

"The Bra Maker's Handbook" contains an appendix on calculating breast volume and weight based on a series of measurements. This weight is then used to make sure the straps are wide enough to minimize shoulder pressure.

because of the constiction on blood vessels around the nipplles

No ...

If a woman is nursing, a breast pump can be used to extract mothers milk. It will not just come out from squeezing them, although some discharge can be normal for some women.

Yes it is very safe.

if its on the nipple its perfectly safe, just dont suck too hard or else it may become painful for her.

If its on the surrounding skin, it should be fine just dont use alot of suction or you could cause a blood clot.

If you've heard of a hicky its the same concept. If starts to become purple where you sucked then gently rub and try and make the blood go back to the vessels. if its really purple and you are concerned take her to the doctor as quickly as possible for it could cuase a blood clot and that can be very bad.

In short just dont make a full seal between your mouth and her breast, and dont suck too hard. good luck with your sexual adventures

The current machines being used for mammography compression were issued a patent in by the U.S. Patent Office in 1986. The inventors were Patrick Panetta and Jack Wennet. if you follow the link you will see a diagram from their patent that looks and describes exactly the current method for mammograms that are performed today.

I'm 16 also 17 and lately i have been getting very sharp pains in one of my breasts. It comes on randomly and it's searing pain. It hurts so much that i curl in a little ball and cry. What do you think could be wrong? Should i go to the doctors about it?

Yes, you should see a doctor. Many things are possible, but one thing that comes to mind is muscle spasms due to nerve root impingement. Again, please see a doctor.

It could be because of hormonal imbalance,high levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood causes milk discharge,Kindly consult a gynaecologist.

the breast tissue responds to progesterone and estrogen: both of which are released from your brain to your organs. THese 2 hormones are what distinguish women frommen and the biggest distinguishing factors--our vaginas and breasts are what are overemphasized when too much of these hormones are running through our body.

No, lumps in the breast are not always cancerous. Some women apparently do have lumpy breasts, however, it's best to have it checked as soon as possible.

Over 90 percent of lumps are found to be benign, but don't let that deter you from seeking a medical opinion as there is still that chance that it is one of the malignant ones and a simple check could make difference between life and death.

"The Bramaker's Handbook" describes how to calculate breast volume and weight based on a series of measurements. This weight is then used to size the straps so that the pressure is within ergonomic limits. A size 34DDD breast weighs about 3.5 - 4.0 pounds each or 1.6 - 1.8 kg each based on density and volume.
