For women, breasts not only serve aesthetic purposes but also play a crucial role in breastfeeding offspring. However, if women develop breast-related diseases such as breast ductal hyperplasia and breast cysts, ignoring them for a long time can lead to deterioration of the affected tissues, increasing the risk of developing breast cancer and posing a significant threat to women's health and life.

What behaviors can harm breast health? 

Firstly, excessive breast massage. Many women who are beauty-conscious may go to beauty salons for breast massages. However, if the masseuse uses excessive force on the breasts, it can cause inflammation in the milk ducts, leading to blockages. Breastfeeding women, in particular, should avoid excessive breast compression to prevent milk from entering the breast lobules, leading to inflammatory blockages.

Secondly, excessive pressure from bras. Many women wear ill-fitting bras that feel tight and sometimes leave red marks on the back. This can cause significant damage to the skin and internal breast tissue. Prolonged excessive compression of the breasts can stimulate estrogen production, leading to breast gland hyperplasia and breast-related diseases. 

Thirdly, negative emotions. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, breast diseases in women may be caused by negative emotions such as anger and depression. Poor emotional well-being can impair liver function, resulting in stagnation of qi and blood stasis in women. This can lead to breast pain, breast lobule hyperplasia, and an increased risk of breast cancer. 

Lastly, late bedtime. Foreign research has shown that if women consistently sleep after 11 pm, the probability of developing breast-related diseases increases by more than 50%.

During sleep, melatonin is produced, which reduces estrogen production in women's bodies. Insufficient sleep can lead to abnormal estrogen secretion and an increased risk of breast diseases. Therefore, women should develop a habit of good sleep hygiene, including going to bed and waking up early, and sleeping for more than 7 hours every day to promote melatonin production and regulate excessive estrogen secretion.

In daily life, if women do not pay attention to adjusting their habits and emotions, it can increase the likelihood of developing breast diseases. It is recommended that women control their emotions and adopt healthy lifestyles to prevent various breast diseases.
