How much do you really know about breasts aside from its mammary glands for milk source, enticing power against men or self-esteem source? In this discussion, we cover some of the facts about breast that you haven’t heard even from your science teacher back in senior high.
The woman’s breasts are the symbols of femininity and motherhood. From psychosexual point of view, woman’s breasts are the symbol of men’s weakness obsessing them with its large and well-shaped form. According to the study of Handel, Silverstein and Waisman in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1990, women are found to obtain high sense of wellness from their breasts. Logically, the woman’s breasts are indeed the illustration of their womanhood. Insecurities and frustration usually results if anything happens to their breasts.

Breasts Swell During Sex
Have you ever experienced sudden tenderness or pain during sexual activity? Well, according to Sculpher, Bryan and Fry et al. in their British Medical Journal, women can really experience breast swelling up to 25% during sexual activity due to the increased sexual drive and activity brought by the hormonal surge in their bodies. Physiological analysts proposed that breast swelling is a natural way of increasing the seductive powers of their breasts towards men especially if a woman needs a dramatic breast size boost.
Breast Enlargement Can Now Be Resourced from a Woman’s Tummy
The company – Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. – is now offering their new reconstructive technology using their cell-enhanced reconstruction procedure. According to them, regenerative cells and adipose tissues, such as those found in our tummy, can actually be used as surgical implants for breasts. The process involves the classic stem-cell concept wherein adipose stems found in the tummy are injected to the breasts in order to induce growth of adipose tissues in a natural way. However, the procedure has not yet been approved in the United States due to its clinical trial state. Hmmm… does anyone prefer their tummy transferred to their chests? That sounds weird.
Men Can Have their Natural Breasts
Contrary to the general public’s awareness of men having breasts only due to surgical reconstruction, a common genetic condition called gynecomastia actually exists among males. This condition gives men an actual breast engorgement far from adipose deposits or trained chest muscles. Gynecomastia is theoretically brought by the increased estrogen levels in the male’s body resulting to the modification of breasts patterned from the female features. In fact, man’s breasts also possess milk glands that can produce small amounts of oxytocin and prolactin – hormones required for milk production. However, since these hormones are only produced in smaller amounts, males are still incapable of producing milk from their breasts. Well, Mother Nature does not allow mom and dad to switch places during breastfeeding.
Breast Feeding Can Help You Lose Weight
Lactation generally provides undisputable nutritional and health benefits for both the baby and the mother, especially the colostrums for the baby and the natural-birth control for the mother. However, another benefit of breastfeeding has recently been determined by medical science. According to the study of Dewey, Heinig and Nommsen of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women breastfeeding from 3 to 6 months have experienced a net loss of fat from 2.4 mm down to -0.4. Kramer and Kakuma in Advanced Experimental Medical Biology journal said that breastfeeding until six months speeds up the postpartum weight loss.
Age 50 Gives Women Higher Risk for Developing Breast Cancer
Harris Interactive survey of approximately 2,000 women found out that only 37% of women in their 50s are concerned about developing breast cancer as they age. Furthermore, the findings show that most of these women do not really understand the dangers of developing breast cancer as they age. According to S. Wysocki of NPWH, one of the greatest factors in developing breast cancer is old age. As the woman age, cellular mutation and hypertrophy increase its rate due to hormonal variations and overexposures. Many people believed that breast cancer is genetic; however, according to statistics by the National Breast Cancer.org, 85% of women with breast cancer do not have a family history of breast cancer. In fact according to the National Cancer Institute, women of 50 to 59 develops breast cancer at a risk of one out of 37, while at the age of 60 to 69, the risk is one out of 26 women. Comparing these to the risk of women in the age of 30 to 39, which develops only one out of 229, women at their 50’s should be much more concerned about developing breast cancer.
FDA Re-Approves Breasts Silicone
In 1992, FDA banned silicone implants due to the associated risk of developing breast cancer among women. Early studies indicated that these silicone implants can actually trigger autoimmune diseases. However, last 2006, the FDA reconsidered approving the saline-filled silicone implants since according to them women are still requesting breast reconstruction using these implants. Although, according to Roxanne Guy, M.D., ASPS president. “Silicone breast implants have been scrutinized more than any medical device, and we applaud the FDA for making its well thought-out decision and allowing American women to make informed choices about their health care.” As of 2004, ASAPS research indicated that a whopping 83.4 percent of respondents used saline implants, while only 16.6 percent used the silicone implant.
