How to perk breast with their age?

How to perk breast with their age?

Most women’s breasts lose their perk with age and extremely large-breasted women will be affected earlier and to a certain degree. But the reasons aren’t related to ligaments or even strictly dependent on breast size. Much more important are inherited characteristics such as skin elasticity and breast density which reflects the ratio of lightweight fat to heavier glands. 

There is the tendency for older women to show sagging of the breasts. The sagging is caused by partial deterioration of the glandular tissues that produce firmness of the breasts and some stretching of the tissues connecting the breasts to their muscles. Measures may be taken earlier in life that may prevent, or at least reduce, sagging later in life. They include wearing supportive brassieres during pregnancy, breast feeding, and exercising. 

Breast sagging occurs for several different reasons - multiple pregnancies, breast feeding, rapid weight loss, genetics, gravity and age. 

Just as all body tissues are susceptible to the effects of gravity over time, the breast, because it is an external organ and not protected from external forces, also undergoes changes over time. The connective tissues supporting the breast are always under constant stretch due to the effects of gravity on the weight of the breast, this effect eventually causes the relaxation of these supporting ligaments creating the sagging effect. Breast feeding is another contributor to breast sagging because of the expansion and contraction of the breast tissue over months of breast feeding eventually results in drooping breast changes in susceptible women. Other women may be prone to ptosis because of changes in weight, genetics or multiple pregnancies. Another reason for breasts sagging is the lack of the hormone estrogen, which occurs at menopause. This reduction in estrogen affects all the tissues of the body, including breast tissue, and results in a reduction in size and fullness. The milk secretion process is also halted by this time. Much of the connective tissue in the breast is composed of a fibrous protein called collagen, which needs estrogen to keep it healthy. Without estrogen, it becomes dehydrated and loses it's elasticity. 

Both during pregnancy and as you reach menopause - make breasts sag even more. During pregnancy, the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are secreted by the ovaries and the placenta, stimulate development of the 15 to 20 lobes of milk-secreting glands embedded in the breast's fatty tissue. These changes are permanent. And although the glands may be empty after they're no longer needed to produce milk, they will still add bulk and firmness to the breast. Once menopause arrives, however, the drop in estrogen and progesterone signal the breast that its milk ducts and lobes can retire. As a result, the breasts shrinks, add fat and begins to sag over and above the demands of gravity. Fortunately there are three ways to prevent, and sometimes reverse, both saggy and stretch marks breasts. 

Premature sagging occurs as a result of stretching the Cooper's ligaments that help suspend and support the breast. Breast ptosis can result from a loosening of the skin and suspensory ligaments. Gravity and weight of breasts take their toll over time. Ptosis can also come from a reduction in the volume of breast tissue. This can occur after pregnancy and weight loss .

One of the reasons for sagging breasts is age! As we age, our skin ages too. It does not hold things up as well as it did when we were young, becasue it has lost some of its elasticity. The older we get the less elastic our skin becomes. Thats why so many older women have sagging breasts. 

If you are a young woman with breasts that are sagging, it may be for several other reasons. If you are not getting enough support from your bra or not wearing a bra at all, your breasts can start to sag due to lack of support. This is especially true for larger breasted women, and women who may be participating in sports without the proper sports bra. The third reason for the onset of sagging breasts in some younger women is change in overall breast size after having a baby. A woman's breasts generally become larger and engorged with milk in preparation for breastfeeding. Once breastfeeding is over, her breasts may not snap back.

As we age, after pregnancy (or exposure to breast growth due to hormones) or weight gain then loss, we experience atrophy of the breast tissue and it's envelope. From pregnancy or hormone-induced gain then loss -- this loss is called involution. From weight gain, then loss -- this is from the body losing the filling and fat which it had prior to the weight loss. Aging is merciless and we start losing collagen and elastin and the breast envelope begins to thin, weaken and eventually - becomes ptotic (saggy). After our breasts enlarge due to pregnancy they usually shrink postpartumly. Other changes result from having breastfed, estrogen and progesterone supplementation in the form or shots, implants or medications, hormonal disorders, menopause and lastly age. As we age our skin thins, we lose breast volume due to the shrinking of our lobules due to a decrease in hormones. We also lose body fat in areas where we want it, and seem to somehow selectively gain it where we do not.  

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SAGGING

There are certainly varying degrees of ptosis which only need certain smaller lifts for correction and other cases which need a full lifting. Following are the most commonly described ptotic grades to help you better determine what you may need. 

HOW TO TELL YOUR DEGREE OF PTOSIS .

Determine your mammary crease as it is directly underneath the breasts. These two levels may be higher than one another. You can use a ruler if you wish it. The highest part of the ruler should be directly against the junction of the breast and ribcage. 

Mild Ptosis

If the central point of your nipple (not your areola) is slightly above or directly in front of the top of this ruler (your breast crease) - you may have Grade 1 ptosis. Very mild to mild ptosis usually needs only a crescent lift. 

Mild to Moderate

If the central point of your nipple (not your areola) is 1 - 3 cm below the top of this ruler (your breast crease) you may have Grade 2 ptosis i.e. Mild to Moderate Ptosis .

 

 Savere Ptosis

If the central point of your nipple (including your areola) is more than 3 cm below the top of this ruler (your breast crease) you may have Grade 3 ptosis i.e. Severe Ptosis.

 

Pseudo - ptosis

Psuedo-ptosis is when your nipple is still slightly or well above your inframammary crease but it still appears droopy due to the presence of a significant, but somewhat flattened, breast lobe. Usually persons with pseudo-ptosis have smaller areola complexes which did not stretch during the pregnancy or weight gain.

 

Mild Ptosis, Asymmmetry

Even though you pass the "tests" above you may still feel as though your breasts are too low on your chest wall or that your areolae have stretched out. 

 

Low Breast

Like said above, some women's breasts actually sit on the chest wall lower. They have no ptosis, have good volume and a proper infra-mammary crease, BUT - the entire breast complex is rather low on the torso

                 Loose Weight ...

Ayurveda defines obesity as the imbalance of one of the 3 doshas i.e. Kapha. When Kapha increases, fat metabolism gets hampered and the person becomes obese.

Ayurvedic herbs help to reduce Kapha, which is the basis of fat accumulation, and improves fat metabolism, so further fat deposition will not take place. These medicinal herbs can correct Kapha imbalance and help in weight loss. Once a person's metabolism is correct it is easy for him to maintain his weight using his diet control.

====================================================================
How does each herb in Obeslim helps to Loose Weight?

Commiphora mukul (Indian Bedellium): Guggul, also known as Commiphora Mukul and Guggulipid, is a very effective herbal medicine for controlling obesity and cholesterol. It is a well established fat burning agent all over the world. As a nutritional supplement, Guggulsterones are used to boost thyroid gland metabolism. Boosting thyroid gland metabolism may cause an increase in basal metabolic rate, or BMR, which are the number of calories one burns at rest.

Plumbago zeylanica (White Leadwort): Ayurvedic weight loss supplement traditionally used for improving digestion and enhancing the metabolism of stored fat. Combines well with guggulu (Commiphora mukul).

Garcinia indica (Mangosteen): Garcinia cambogia is the fruit of the garcinia indica tree also known as Brindleberry, grown in southern India. Various studies have shown that Hydroxycitric acid helps prevent the liver from forming fats from dietary carbohydrates. HCA increases the production and storage of glycogen while reducing both appetite and weight gain. HCA also causes extra calories to be consumed as thermogenisis is enhanced.

Embelia ribes (False Pepper): Ayurvedic herb for enhancing metabolism and digestion. Its principal constituents are embelin, quercitol and fatty ingredients. An alkaloid, christembine, a resinoid, tannins and minute quantities of a volatile oil are present.

Piper nigrum (Black Pepper): Black Pepper is considered an important healing spice in ayurveda. Black pepper is a warming spice and contributes the pungent taste. It is excellent for pacifying Kapha. It helps the free flow of oxygen to the brain, helps enhance digestion and circulation, stimulates the appetite.

Zingiber officinale (Ginger): Although officially recognized as a remedy for appetite loss, indigestion and motion sickness, ginger root has a proven ability to combat all forms of nausea and vomiting. It has also been taken to loosen phlegm, relieve gas, and tighten the tissues, although its effectiveness for these purposes hasn't been proven. By providing you with a clear head and by working as a metabolism aid, Ginger Root is the perfect compliment to any diet plan.

Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi): The plant is used to improve the immune system and the body's resistance to infections.

Triphala = Terminalia chebula (Chebulic Myrobalan) + Terminalia bellerica (Belleric Myrobalan) + Embelica officinalis (Indian Gooseberry)

Triphala when combined with guggul is an Ayurvedic Herbal formula most used to reduce fat from the body. It is not an appetite suppressant in fact it is an Ayurvedic supplement that can mobilize and eliminate fat from the body and encourage permanent metabolic changes. and GUGGUL (Commiphora mukul).

Triphala purifies the body of old ama trapped in the fat and guggulu actually scrapes fat away from the other tissues.

Along with supplements and herbs, lifestyle changes and exercise are just as important to reduce increased weight and maintain ideal weight.

Way to increase your Breast Size (Exercise)

 

Many women would like to know how to perform a proper exercise to increase 

breast size. While breasts themselves are made up of fatty tissue and glands, you can increase the appearance and lift of the breasts by strengthening the muscles that hold them in place. The pectoral muscles in the chest lie behind the breasts, and toning the pectoral muscles will lift the breast tissue, resulting in perky breasts with a larger appearance. Additionally, it is recommended that you strengthen your entire torso, not only the chest but also your back, stomach, and shoulders. An overall toned appearance in the upper body will emphasize the shape of the breasts and make them appear larger. Push-ups are a good exercise to increase breast size as well as an overall beneficial workout for the arms, shoulders, and abdominal muscles. An added benefit of push-ups is that they can be performed anywhere and at any time with no equipment necessary. Holding yourself in a plank position on the floor, keep your middle tight and lower your arms and chest down almost to the floor. Raise back up to complete the push-up. If you are a beginner, lower your knees to the ground while performing the push-ups to begin to increase your arm strength. Do as many push-ups as you can in one setting. If you are dedicated to doing push-ups every day, you will see and feel a result in your breast and chest area. If you have access to handheld weights, try fly lifts as an exercise to increase breast size. Lay on your back either on the floor or a bench with comfortable handheld weights, maybe only a few pounds for beginners. Hold the weights with outstretched arms in a “T” shape and lift your outstretched arms so the weights meet in the middle. Another variation is to lower your arms straight back over your head so they are in line with your body, and back up for one rep. Both of these fly lift variations are great workouts for the pectorals, shoulders, and arms. Start out doing fly lifts twice a week, and do three sets of three repetitions of ten (or “reps” as commonly called.) After the three sets, if the muscles engaged are not completely fatigued, increase the amount of weight you are using. Finally, the last exercise to increase breast size is to work on your abdominal muscles and waist, as if you are thinner around the middle your breasts will appear larger in proportion. Do three sets of ten reps of abdominal crunches, not only in the middle but also angled towards each side. Then do three sets of ten reps of twisting crunches in order to help whittle down your waist. The best exercise for increasing breast size is to do toning and strengthening workouts on your pectorals, arms, shoulders, and abdominal muscles. Push-ups, fly lifts and abdominal crunches will tone your entire upper body, including lifting the breast tissue. Your breasts will appear larger and more shapely as a result.

So here’s how you can find your PERFECT BRA 1. Measure up: First of all, take measurement. I read this way of measuring yourself up in Cosmo once. While wearing your best supportive bra (which you already have, obviously its not perfect hence the tryst to find one), measure just below your bustline. While measuring your self let yourself lose and don’t suck in. If the result is an even number, add 4 to get your bra band size (if you measure 34”, your band size will be 38”). If the result is an odd number, add 3 so if you measure 31”, your band size will be 34”). Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, and subtract your band size from that number (if you measure 40”, when you subtract 38 you get a result of 2). This difference corresponds to your cup size, which is 1″ per letter. So, a 1″ difference is an A cup, 2″ is a B cup, etc. So if your band size comes to 38” and your fullest part of the bust is 40” , your bra size will be 38B. This method can be used by people living in small towns who don’t have stand alone special lingerie stores in their area. But if you have one its best to get yourself measured up at a store, since the staff there is taught the right and correct way to do it for you. Yes it’s necessary to measure yourself up but I feel just like Jeans, you will see that different sizes of Bras fit you from different manufactures. Just like in jeans you wear one of 28 waist and the other of 30. Similarly with one manufacturer you might fit a 38B whereas in another brand you may be fine with 36D. So if it fits right that’s your perfect bra even if the measuring tape no.s don’t say so. 2. Chose your Style: There are many types of bras available some of them being: full cup bra, demi cup bra, padded bra, sports bra, minimizer bra, maximizer bra, maternity bra, nursing bra, tshirt bra, strapless bra etc. Chose the style keeping in mind your need and your bust type, i.e, if you are large busted or small busted. Large busted people should stay away from padded bras whereas for small busted people it’s the best figure enhancer. Small busted women should try demi cups since this can provide you with excellent uplift, an excellent neck line and a curvy shape. Padded bras are also great for you since they add a little volume to your curves. Large busted women should go in for bras with wider shoulder and back straps since they provide comfortable and firm support. Full cups contain the breast better and give a better appearance. Underwired bras provide better support under the bust. Smooth, plain bra styles, without too much lace, help to make your bust appear smaller. 3. Try the bra: No when you have selected the Bra you want in your size. Try it on, fasten the bra on the loosest hooks. Extra hooks in a bra are not there so you can adjust your new bra to fit. They’re there so you can adjust your bra as it stretches over its lifetime. If you want your bra to last, it should fit you on the first hook. Similarly with the shoulder straps you need not adjust them. Before trying loosen the straps of the Bra all the way out. The exception being the convertible bras, as they need longer straps to criss-cross at the back. Till now it was easy now comes the frustrating part. Since most of the Bras that say they are your size, wont fit. Reason, Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, so you will have to find your perfect match with a bit of effort and patience. 4. Test out your new Bra: The band test: The band of your Bra that goes around your body should be providing you most of the support and not the shoulder straps. It should be aligned horizontally just below your shoulder blades and should not be riding up. It should be firm and snug. You should be able to put in one finger inside the back band comfortably, if not then its too tight for you and you should go in for a bigger band size. Look down between your breasts and if you see even a little bit of light passing through between you and the band where the band crosses between your breasts, then the band size is bigger for you go for a smaller band size. When you try on a smaller band size always remember that the cup size should increase relatively to compensate for the smaller band size, and vice versa. The Cup test: If your bra has passed the band test, then move towards the cup test. If your breasts bulge over the top of the cups or at the sides of the bra, it means that the cup size is small for you. And if the Fabric of the cup wrinkles then it is too big for you. The cups should always create a smooth line where the top of the cups meet your breasts. If it is an underwired bra you are buying, then put your thumbs on the sides of the bra under your arms. Feel the place where the edge of the cup touches your skin. If you can feel the breast tissue under the wire then the cup isn’t big enough for you. The outer edge of the cup needs to be sitting off the breast, on the flesh under your arms. Try a bigger cup size. The wires running underneath the bust should lie flat against your rib cage and enclose the breast rather than sit on the breast tissue. The front panel between your breasts should not dig in, rub or stick out at the front. If these wires are lifting away, this is a sign that the cup size is too small. .The above two tests are the most important. So if a bra fails in either of these take it off and move on to the next one. But even it has passed in these two tests, it doesn’t means its your perfect match it will have to go through some more tests to get the title. Shoulder straps: Adjust the shoulder straps, this adjustment depend on the distance of your shoulder from your breasts. The taller you are the less likely will you need to adjust. A lot of women make the mistake of tightening the shoulder straps to make bigger cups fit. It won’t work. If you have to tighten your straps more than halfway then you haven’t picked the right bra for yourself, since the straps will start to dig in your skin. Bulge test: The band must be sitting flat all the way around your back parallel to your shoulder. It shouldn’t be cutting in and causing bulges above and below. However, bear in mind that if you’re carrying extra weight, you’ll get some overflow even in your correct size. If that applies to you, styles with a broader band and it will improve the look. Under clothing test: Wear a tight fitted t-shirt over your bra to see how it will look under your clothing. Check your side profile in the mirror to check if you are happy with the fit and look. Moving test: Move your arms a bit and see if it gives you the proper support and comfort that you need. If all these tests are cleared..!! Congratulations you have found your perfect Bra. Don’t hesitate to try different styles of Bras. Since every style fits and feels different and will shape your breast differently. I always tend to buy 2 or 3 bras in different colors when I get my perfect bra. Since you just saw it is a little time consuming job. So its always better to go for Lingerie shopping when you have couple of hours at hand and you are not in a hurry. I always take a nice fitted tshirt with me to see how it looks under fitted clothing. But when I know I will be going Bra shopping I always wear something that is comfortable to take off and wear again and again. If its winters I try wearing zip up sweats and in summer some loose t-shirt or kurti with no embellishment or sequins which can get tangled in my hair. I once wore this sleeveless kurti which had sequins and I almost scratched and scuffed my neck and arms by wearing it again and again. I hope all this is going to help you find your Perfect Bra. If you think I have missed out on some point, do add in your valuable knowledge below in the comment box. P.S. Do check back in six months or so. You should re-evaluate your Bras regularly to be sure they are fitting you the way they should, because a woman’s body does change over time, and bras stretch and lose shape with repeated wear and washing. It may be time to stock-up again, soon..!! Left : Wrong, Right : Right Left : Wrong, Right: Right

Niplple

What is Nipple?

In its most general form, a nipple is a structure from which a fluid emanates. More specifically, it is the

projection on the breasts or udder of a mammal by which breast milk is delivered to a mother's young. In this sense, it is often called a teat, especially when referring to non-humans, and the medical term used to refer to it is papilla. The rubber mouthpiece of a baby bottle or pacifier may also be referred to as a "nipple" or a "teat". In many cultures, female nipples are considered an erogenous zone and it is considered a public indecency to uncover them in public.

What is Nipple pain?

Nipple pain can describe any discomfort in the nipple area and can result from mild physical surface abrasion from such activities as breastfeeding, engaging in physical activity (for example, exercise or jogging) without a bra, wearing a poorly fitted bra, or participating in any activity that produces friction on the skin of the breast.

Nipple pain can also be caused by specific disorders, particularly inflammatory disorders. Both mastitis (an infection and inflammation of the ducts of the breast) and breast abscess (a collection of pus located in a specific area) can result in nipple pain. These conditions are common in women who are breastfeeding.
A rare type of cancer, known as Paget’s disease of the breast, can result in inflammation and pain that is particularly localized to the nipple area.
Ordinary soreness from surface abrasions should clear up within a few days. Inflammatory conditions will need more attention. Seek prompt medical care if you experience any of the following symptoms: excessive cracking or open wounds on the surface of the nipple or areola; heat or redness in the nipple, breast tissues, or on the breast surface; nipple or breast pain on one side only; fever or chills; new, unusual, or changing lumps in the breast; nipple abscess or nipple discharge not related to breastfeeding, especially a brown or bloody discharge; or bleeding from the nipple.

Breast or nipple symptoms that may occur along with nipple pain

Nipple pain may accompany other symptoms affecting the nipple including:

• Bleeding from the nipple
• Breast lump
• Breast tenderness
• Change in the look and feel of the skin of the breast, such as dimpling or puckering
• Change in the size, shape or appearance of the breast
• Hardened area within the breast
• Nipple discharge
• Rash or sore on the breast or nipple; cracking or itching
• Redness, warmth or swelling
• Retracted (“caved in”) nipple
• Skin discoloration such as bruising

Symptoms that might indicate a serious condition

 In some cases, nipple pain may occur with other symptoms that might indicate a serious condition. For example, breast abscess can be a complication of mastitis and, left untreated, can spread into the bloodstream causing sepsis (a life-threatening bacterial blood infection) and potentially leading to organ failure. 

Nipple piercing

A nipple piercing is a body piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. Some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to heal fully. It is recommended that if stretching a nipple piercing, the piercee waits at least the healing time of their piercings between stretches.

History  Nipple piercing

The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history. Male nipple piercing was reported to be done by the Karankawa Native Americans, female nipple piercing is practiced by the Kabyle people in Algeria.
Nipple-piercing was a fashion statement dating back to the 14th century and having a short-lived revival among society women during the Victorian period around 1890. However, the historian Lesley Hall has commented that these claims might be traced back to a few letters published in the magazine Society during 1899, which can be judged as erotic fantasies rather than descriptions of actual activity.
Male nipple piercings have become more popular in recent years.
In the late 1970s, the practice was revived again by Jim Ward and gained foothold in gay BDSM and leather subcultures. The mainstream popularity of the practice is partly due to celebrities who publicly displayed their piercings or confessed to have one in the 1990s, such as Tommy Lee, Corey Taylor and Lenny Kravitz. Nipple piercing has gained much popularity in recent years with many celebrities and fashion models having this type of piercing.
Stimulation of nipples
Stimulation of nipples is a common human sexual practice, either for itself or as part of other sexual activities. The practice may be performed upon, or by, people of any gender or sexual orientation. Breast and nipple stimulation of women are a near-universal aspect of human sexual activity, but stimulation of nipples of males is not as common.
The male or female breast, nipple and areola develop similarly in the foetus and during infancy. At puberty the male's breasts remain rudimentary but the female's develop further, mainly due to the presence of oestrogen and progesterone, and become more sensitive. All breasts have the same number of nerve endings no matter how large they are. Accordingly, smaller breasts are more sensitive while larger breasts may require more forceful stimulation.
The touching by one person of the breasts and nipples of another is normally an indicator of intimacy, and allowing breasts to be touched is an indication of either an emotional bond and trust between the individuals or, if unwelcome, of submission. Breasts, and especially the nipples, are highly erogenous zones, for both men and women, and have a heightened sensitivity, the stimulation of which may result in the production of erotic sensations or sexual excitement. The touching of the nipples can be a form of foreplay giving rise to the sexual arousal of the female and an erection of her nipples.
Erect nipples are the most prominent indicators of a female's sexual arousal, and the female's sexual partner may find their partner's arousal and erect nipples as their own erotic stimuli. Some people achieve their own sexual arousal by sucking on a female's nipple or by the sight of an erect nipple, including through clothing. The practice of an adult suckling on a female's breast is sometimes referred as erotic lactation, while a person who is sexually aroused by the sight of a female's breast may be a breast fetishist. A person may experience a spontaneous erection of the nipples, with all the associated physiological changes, as a result of exposure to erotic stimuli or as a reaction to cold.
Technique  Stimulation of nipples
Nipples can be stimulated orally, digitally, manually or by the use of an object. Oral nipple stimulation involves a sex partner stimulating a person's nipples by licking, sucking, biting or blowing on the partner's nipples.Other ways of stimulating nipples include fondling or rubbing them with the hands or by using a soft object. Some people self-stimulate their nipples.

Physiological response
Stimulation of nipples may result in nipple erection due to the contraction of smooth muscle under the control of the autonomic nervous system and are a product of the pilomotor reflex which causes goose bumps. Nipple erection can also be caused by a mild tactile stimulation or as a response to cold temperature in both males and females.Nipple erection may also result during sexual arousal in females and males, or during breastfeeding. Both are caused by the release of oxytocin.

The stimulation of a woman's nipples promotes the production and release of oxytocin and prolactin.During the stimulation of the nipples, large amounts of oxytocin are released, which would normally prepare the breast for breastfeeding. Besides creating maternal feelings in a woman, it also decreases her anxiety, increases human bonding and trust.
The release of oxytocin can also result in a female's sexual arousal, with the resulting physiological effects including the erection of the nipples. An erection of the nipples makes them even more sensitive to touch. An orgasm by nipple stimulation can be achieved in some women. A 2011 study using magnetic resonance imaging has shown that the area of the sensory cortex in a woman's brain associated with the genitals, is aroused by stimulating her nipples.
Prolactin produces sexual gratification after sexual activity. Prolactin represses the effect of dopamine, which is responsible for sexual arousal,and is thought to cause the sexual refractory period following orgasm during which the individual (typically a male) does not desire any further sexual stimulation. During this period, the nipples can become extremely sensitive to touch and further stimulation can be painful. The amount of prolactin can be an indicator for the amount of sexual satisfaction and relaxation. Unusually high amounts are suspected to be responsible for impotence and loss of libido (see hyperprolactinemia symptoms).

Type of Bra

Developed late in the nineteenth century, the feminine icon has since been views as a symbol of a girl’s coming of age. The bra does not only covers, supports and elevates the breasts, but also shapes the wearer’s figure.

There are two types. There is the disposable paper ones that use a strong adhesive and the reusable ones that use silicone that can be washed and reused.

Belly Dance Bra



It is commonly assumed that a belly dancing bra size is the same as normal bra size. This is not necessarily so. For instance if you normally use a size 32C you may well find that a 34B will fit quite comfortably with a few minor adjustments to latch settings since most belly dancing bras are designed to cover very well.

How you can find your PERFECT BRA

How you can find your PERFECT BRA

1. Measure up: First of all, take measurement. I read this way of measuring yourself up in Cosmo once. While wearing your best supportive bra (which you already have, obviously its not perfect hence the tryst to find one), measure just below your bustline. While measuring your self let yourself lose and don’t suck in. If the result is an even number, add 4 to get your bra band size (if you measure 34”, your band size will be 38”). If the result is an odd number, add 3 so if you measure 31”, your band size will be 34”). Now measure around the fullest part of your bust, and subtract your band size from that number (if you measure 40”, when you subtract 38 you get a result of 2). This difference corresponds to your cup size, which is 1″ per letter. So, a 1″ difference is an A cup, 2″ is a B cup, etc. So if your band size comes to 38” and your fullest part of the bust is 40” , your bra size will be 38B. This method can be used by people living in small towns who don’t have stand alone special lingerie stores in their area. But if you have one its best to get yourself measured up at a store, since the staff there is taught the right and correct way to do it for you. Yes it’s necessary to measure yourself up but I feel just like Jeans, you will see that different sizes of Bras fit you from different manufactures. Just like in jeans you wear one of 28 waist and the other of 30. Similarly with one manufacturer you might fit a 38B whereas in another brand you may be fine with 36D. So if it fits right that’s your perfect bra even if the measuring tape no.s don’t say so.

2. Chose your Style: There are many types of bras available some of them being: full cup bra, demi cup bra, padded bra, sports bra, minimizer bra, maximizer bra, maternity bra, nursing bra, tshirt bra, strapless bra etc. Chose the style keeping in mind your need and your bust type, i.e, if you are large busted or small busted. Large busted people should stay away from padded bras whereas for small busted people it’s the best figure enhancer. Small busted women should try demi cups since this can provide you with excellent uplift, an excellent neck line and a curvy shape. Padded bras are also great for you since they add a little volume to your curves. Large busted women should go in for bras with wider shoulder and back straps since they provide comfortable and firm support. Full cups contain the breast better and give a better appearance. Underwired bras provide better support under the bust. Smooth, plain bra styles, without too much lace, help to make your bust appear smaller.

3. Try the bra: No when you have selected the Bra you want in your size. Try it on, fasten the bra on the

loosest hooks. Extra hooks in a bra are not there so you can adjust your new bra to fit. They’re there so you can adjust your bra as it stretches over its lifetime. If you want your bra to last, it should fit you on the first hook. Similarly with the shoulder straps you need not adjust them. Before trying loosen the straps of the Bra all the way out. The exception being the convertible bras, as they need longer straps to criss-cross at the back. Till now it was easy now comes the frustrating part. Since most of the Bras that say they are your size, wont fit. Reason, Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, so you will have to find your perfect match with a bit of effort and patience.  

4. Test out your new Bra: The band test: The band of your Bra that goes around your body should be providing you most of the support and not the shoulder straps. It should be aligned horizontally just below your shoulder blades and should not be riding up. It should be firm and snug. You should be able to put in one finger inside the back band comfortably, if not then its too tight for you and you should go in for a bigger band size. Look down between your breasts and if you see even a little bit of light passing through between you and the band where the band crosses between your breasts, then the band size is bigger for you go for a smaller band size. When you try on a smaller band size always remember that the cup size should increase relatively to compensate for the smaller band size, and vice versa. The Cup test: If your bra has passed the band test, then move towards the cup test. If your breasts bulge over the top of the cups or at the sides of the bra, it means that the cup size is small for you. And if the Fabric of the cup wrinkles then it is too big for you. The cups should always create a smooth line where the top of the cups meet your breasts. If it is an underwired bra you are buying, then put your thumbs on the sides of the bra under your arms. Feel the place where the edge of the cup touches your skin. If you can feel the breast tissue under the wire then the cup isn’t big enough for you. The outer edge of the cup needs to be sitting off the breast, on the flesh under your arms. Try a bigger cup size. The wires running underneath the bust should lie flat against your rib cage and enclose the breast rather than sit on the breast tissue. The front panel between your breasts should not dig in, rub or stick out at the front. If these wires are lifting away, this is a sign that the cup size is too small. .The above two tests are the most important. So if a bra fails in either of these take it off and move on to the next one. But even it has passed in these two tests, it doesn’t means its your perfect match it will have to go through some more tests to get the title. Shoulder straps: Adjust the shoulder straps, this adjustment depend on the distance of your shoulder from your breasts. The taller you are the less likely will you need to adjust. A lot of women make the mistake of tightening the shoulder straps to make bigger cups fit. It won’t work. If you have to tighten your straps more than halfway then you haven’t picked the right bra for yourself, since the straps will start to dig in your skin. Bulge test: The band must be sitting flat all the way around your back parallel to your shoulder. It shouldn’t be cutting in and causing bulges above and below. However, bear in mind that if you’re carrying extra weight, you’ll get some overflow even in your correct size. If that applies to you, styles with a broader band and it will improve the look. Under clothing test: Wear a tight fitted t-shirt over your bra to see how it will look under your clothing. Check your side profile in the mirror to check if you are happy with the fit and look. Moving test: Move your arms a bit and see if it gives you the proper support and comfort that you need. If all these tests are cleared..!! Congratulations you have found your perfect Bra. Don’t hesitate to try different styles of Bras. Since every style fits and feels different and will shape your breast differently. I always tend to buy 2 or 3 bras in different colors when I get my perfect bra. Since you just saw it is a little time consuming job. So its always better to go for Lingerie shopping when you have couple of hours at hand and you are not in a hurry. I always take a nice fitted tshirt with me to see how it looks under fitted clothing. But when I know I will be going Bra shopping I always wear something that is comfortable to take off and wear again and again. If its winters I try wearing zip up sweats and in summer some loose t-shirt or kurti with no embellishment or sequins which can get tangled in my hair. I once wore this sleeveless kurti which had sequins and I almost scratched and scuffed my neck and arms by wearing it again and again. I hope all this is going to help you find your Perfect Bra. If you think I have missed out on some point, do add in your valuable knowledge below in the comment box. P.S. Do check back in six months or so. You should re-evaluate your Bras regularly to be sure they are fitting you the way they should, because a woman’s body does change over time, and bras stretch and lose shape with repeated wear and washing. It may be time to stock-up again, soon..!! Left : Wrong, Right : Right Left : Wrong, Right: Right

Sexual Satisfaction,Does the size of Vagina Matter

Sexual Satisfaction,Does the size of Vagina Matter

Many women wonder about the ideal dimensions of the vagina to determine whether this will influence their sexual satisfaction and their partner. The dimensions of the vagina can vary from 7 to 8 cm long and 2 to 3 cm diameter when it is ‘closed.’ The vagina is an anatomical structure that is part of the internal female sex organs, which connects the uterus with the external genitalia (vulva). “Is considered a virtual channel, i.e. it remains ‘enclosed’, except in the following cases: * During intercourse, as it allows the introduction of the penis when you have sexual intercourse with a partner. * By becoming the birth canal, the passageway through which the baby slides out at the time of delivery. * Exploring the cervix, also known as cervical, as “placing a speculum, the cavity extends and frees the way for exploring the area and gynecological studies.

Specialist added: “During a study in obstetrics and gynecology is also perceived some stimulation, but in this case nothing can be pleasant, but also determines the size as such. Only when a woman performs a self-exploration by entering her own fingers into the vaginal canal may be possible to estimate their proportions. “ In fact, no matter Many experts say that “when the stimulation of the penis is right, it generates excitement and vaginal lubrication that facilitates penetration. However, pleasure is not related to the dimensions of the vagina, but rather depends on the quality of erotic stimulation, the level of intimacy and communication, among other factors, rather than the size itself. “ Even “if the present body length less than the measures considered normal, nor affect the ability to feel pleasure because, as noted, this feeling is the result of other factors” Said the expert, adding: “Only that they were a much smaller vagina than those anatomically normal for an adult may arise a problem, and if so would require gynecological care.” In terms of partner satisfaction, “more than the length, the strength of the vaginal walls which gives pleasure to men because of the feeling of pressure exerted by this body-channel, surrounded by muscles that can stimulate the penis at the time of penetration”. Special cases It essential that “the vagina has the elasticity needed to allow intercourse, facilitate lubrication and with it the satisfaction of both members of the couple. In the event that hinder this distension can cause pain and pleasure becomes unpleasant experience.” Moreover, the specialist said that while sex does not alter the size of the vagina, “the most common physiological condition that can ‘reduce the strength’ of this body is a procedure that is performed during childbirth, called episiotomy, when deemed necessary to extend the canal with a long incision (cut small edge of the outer part of the vagina) to facilitate the birth of the baby, then the physician should suturing this wound to heal. Sometimes this injury is uncomplicated and can alter the pleasure during intercourse. “ Finally, that if a woman believes that sexual dissatisfaction is caused by the size of her vagina, “should see a gynecologist, for a scan can detect abnormalities or health problems that warrant treatment. In other cases, of course, seek the opinions, advice and suggestions from a doctor who specializes in human sexuality. “

Breast pain

Definition:

Breast pain (mastalgia) is a common complaint among women. You might describe your breast pain as chronic tenderness, sharp burning or tightness in your breast tissue. The pain may be constant or it may occur only occasionally. Some women have severe breast pain, occurring more than five days a month, Severe breast pain may even persist throughout the menstrual cycle. Postmenopausal women sometimes have breast pain, but the symptom is more common in younger, premenopausal women and perimenopausal women. Most times, breast pain signals a noncancerous (benign) breast condition and rarely signifies breast cancer. Still, unexplained breast pain that doesn't go away after your next menstrual cycle or that persists after menopause needs to be evaluated by your doctor. 

Breast Health

General Breast Pain Cyclic vs non-cyclic In general there are two types of breast pain (mastalgia): cyclic and non-cyclic pain. Cyclic pain is much more common, and as the name suggests the pain fluctuates with the menstrual cycle. The exact cause of cyclic pain is not well understood, but it appears that the fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone and prolactin might be responsible for this type of breast pain. Cyclic pain typically begins at ovulation and escalates until the onset of the period, and the pain tends to subside following the menstruation. Both breasts are involved, but many will report asymmetrical pain, pain only in one breast, or more severe pain in one than the other. Women suffering from breast pain report greatest pain in the upper, outer portion of the breast, adjacent to the armpit. The pain is often referred to as dull and the breasts feel sore, and in some cases pain may radiate to the armpit and then to the entire arm. The sufferers of cyclic pain often report reduction if not elimination of breast pain at menopause if they are not under hormone replacement therapy. Unlike cyclic pain, non-cyclic pain is unrelated to the hormonal fluctuation of menstrual cycle. Typically, there is a defined area of tenderness or a focal tenderness, which can help with the diagnosis and treatment of the pain. Unlike cyclic breast pain, non-cyclic breast pain is often felt only in one breast. The causes of non-cyclic pain can vary, but the following are the most common causes: Trauma Macrocysts Periductal mastitis/duct ectasis Pregnancy and breast feeding (Puerperal mastitis) Sclerosing adenosis Cancer Trauma Pain due to fat necrosis (fatty breast tissue that has died and formed cysts), calcification as a result of surgery or other types of trauma can be experienced many years following the initial trauma. Pain associated with trauma to the breasts is described as sore, bruised, or stabbing pain. Macrocysts One of the common causes of non-cyclic focal breast pain. The presence of cysts can be confirmed by ultrasound and can be treated by aspiration. If blood is drawn or the cysts recur, then further study such as biopsy is warranted. Periductal mastitis Periductal mastitis can cause severe breast pain in a significant number of women. The periductal inflammation occurs in non-lactating women when the milk ducts near the nipple become inflamed thus causing extreme breast pain. Other symptoms of this condition are a mass near the nipple, retraction of the nipple, or discharge. Treatment includes antibiotics or, in severe cases, surgery. The pain is described as throbbing and often accompanied by redness and warmth of tissues. Sclerosing adenosis This condition is characterized by the presence of a small mass, 2cm or less, that is firm but poorly defined. The mass if often attached to surrounding breast tissue. Typically the mass is accompanied by breast pain. Pregnancy and breast feeding (puerperal mastitis) Many women report discomfort in their breasts during pregnancy and while breast feeding. The breast pain associated with breast feeding is termed puperpeal mastitis. However, neither case requires any medical intervention unless actual infections arise. Cancer Only a small percentage of women (7–10%) suffering from breast cancer report breast pain as the sole symptom. However, any new onset of non-cyclic pain should be carefully examined and should undergo rigorous differential diagnosis. Non-Breast Pain In some cases women experience breast pain, but the pain does not originate in the breasts. Non-breast pain can be categorized into chest-wall pain and non-chest-wall pain. Chest-wall pain: Tietze’s syndrome (costochondritis) Cervical radiculopathy Non-chest wall pain: Gallbladder disease Ischemic heart disease Tietze’s syndrome (Costochondritis) This condition produces significant chest pain due to inflammation of the bones and cartilage in the chest wall. The pain can be exacerbated by deep breathing, coughing, or other activities involving the chest wall. Costochondritis has no known cause (idiopathic). The condition can subside on its own eventually, but in severe cases injection of anesthetic and/or steroid offers a positive clinical result. Cervical radiculopathy Chronic, recurring breast pain accompanied by pain in the shoulder, arm, and hand on the same side can be caused by cervical radiculopathy where nerve roots (C6-C7) are compressed. The compression of the pectoralis muscle, not the breast parenchyma (breast tissue) causes the apparent breast pain. In addition, pain can be accompanied by weaknesses in other muscles such as tripceps and biceps which is indicative of root compressions. Other non-chest-wall pain that can be incorrectly attributed to breast pain are diseases related to gallbladder and/or heart. Gallbladder infections or cardiovascular abnormalities can exhibit chest pain that can feel as if it is coming from the breasts in women. Changes in breast tissue known as fibrocystic breast condition or disease can also cause breast pain, which is either cyclical or non-cyclical. For more information on this condition

Fibrocystic Breast Disease Fibrocystic breast disease (FBD), or fibrocystic breast condition or changes, is described as common, benign changes involving the tissues of the breasts. Common breast symptoms are swelling and tenderness, nodularity, palpable lumps, nipple discharge, and inflammation. These changes are typically accompanied by breast pain. The discomfort associated with fibrocystic breast disease is often in the upper outer quadrant, is diffuse, and may radiate to the axilla or upper arm. The incidence of fibrocystic breast disease is estimated to be up to 70% of all women. It can occur in women aged 18 or older, but is most common in women between the ages of 30 and 50, and rare in postmenopausal women.

Medical Illustration Copyright ©2007 Nucleus Medical Art, All rights reserved. www.nucleusinc.com The cause of pain associated with fibrocystic breast disease is not completely understood; however, changes in the breast tissue are believed to be associated with ovarian sex hormones because the condition usually subsides with menopause and may vary in intensity during the menstrual cycle. Hormone imbalances have been suggested, such as increased estrogen secretion, deficient progesterone production, and hyperprolactinemia. In fibrocystic breast disease there is a wide spectrum of histopathological changes (microscopic tissue changes) from relatively normal histologic findings to features that exhibit mainly patterns of fibrous change and cyst formation.

Diagnosis

Physical examination by physicians is the first step in the diagnosis of the condition. Lumpy breasts are not necessarily indicative of breast cancer. These lumps can be benign (non-cancerous) and can be definitively characterized with either mammograms, MRIs, or ultrasounds.  

Having lumpy breasts and being diagnosed with fibrocystic breast disease does not increase a woman’s risk of developing cancer. However, fibrocystic breast disease can mask potentially cancerous lumps. Women with fibrocystic breast disease should be diligent in their breast self-exams and physician exams.

Treatment

Once cancer has been ruled out, treatment for nodularity is unnecessary. However, some cysts may be aspirated to alleviate pain. There are non-surgical methods of dealing with the pain associated with fibrocystic breasts. Treatment strategies for pain associated with fibrocystic breast disease range from conservative treatment methods such as non-prescription analgesics, properly fitted brassieres, diet change, the application of local heat, or application of evening primrose oil. However, little scientific data exists on the effectiveness of these treatments. Patients may use prescription analgesics, but in more severe cases danazol may be prescribed. Danazol has several significant side effects and is only prescribed for severe cases. With the exception of danazol, no other therapeutic is approved to treat the painful symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease.  

If you are a woman experiencing cyclical pain associated with fibrocystic breast disease, you may be eligible to participate in an ongoing clinical trial for a novel investigational drug

Breast Health: Breast Cancer Risk Factors

Breast Health: Breast Cancer Risk Factors

Breast Cancer Risk Factors Every woman wants to know what she can do to lower her risk of breast cancer. Some of the factors associated with breast cancer -- being a woman, your age, and your genetics, for example -- can't be changed. Other factors -- maintaining a healthy weight, exercising, smoking cigarettes, and eating nutritious food -- can be changed by making choices. By choosing the healthiest lifestyle options possible, you can empower yourself and make sure your breast cancer risk is as low as possible.

The known risk factors for breast cancer are listed below. Click on each link to learn more about the risk factor and ways you can minimize it in your own life. If a factor can't be changed (such as your genetics), you can learn about protective steps you can take that can help keep your risk as low as possible.

Established risks:

Just being a woman is the biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. There are about 190,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 60,000 cases of non-invasive breast cancer this year in American women. While men do develop breast cancer, less than 1% of all new breast cancer cases happen in men. Approximately 2,000 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American men this year. The biggest reasons for the difference in breast cancer rates between men and women are: Women's breast development takes 3 to 4 years and is usually complete by age 14. It's uncommon for men's breasts to fully form -- most of the male breasts you see are fat, not formed glands. Once fully formed, breast cells are very immature and highly active until a woman's first full-term pregnancy. While they are immature, a women's breast cells are very responsive to estrogen and other hormones, including hormone disrupters in the environment. Men's breast cells are inactive and most men have extremely low levels of estrogen. So hormonal stimulation of highly responsive and vulnerable breast cells in women, particularly during the extra-sensitive period of breast development, is why breast cancer is much more common in women than in men.

Age

Everyone alive is growing older. And as with many other diseases, your risk of breast cancer goes up as you get older. For example, according to the American Cancer Society, about 1 out of 8 invasive breast cancers develop in women younger than 45. About 2 out of 3 invasive breast cancers are found in women 55 or older.

In fact, the aging process is the biggest risk factor for breast cancer. That's because the longer we live, there are more opportunities for genetic damage (mutations) in the body. And as we age, our bodies are less capable of repairing genetic damag

Family History:

Women with close relatives who've been diagnosed with breast cancer have a higher risk of developing the disease.

If you've had one first-degree female relative (sister, mother, daughter) diagnosed with breast cancer, your risk is doubled. If two first-degree relatives have been diagnosed, your risk is 5 times higher than average.

If your brother or father have been diagnosed with breast cancer, your risk is higher, though researchers aren't sure how much higher.

In some cases, a strong family history of breast cancer is linked to having an abnormal gene associated with a high risk of breast cancer, such as the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. In other cases, an abnormal CHEK2 gene may play a role in developing breast cancer.

Genetics

About 5% to 10% of breast cancers are thought to be hereditary, caused by abnormal genes passed from parent to child.

Genes are particles in cells, contained in chromosomes, and made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains the instructions for building proteins. And proteins control the structure and function of all the cells that make up your body.

Think of your genes as an instruction manual for cell growth and function. Abnormalities in the DNA are like typographical errors. They may provide the wrong set of instructions, leading to faulty cell growth or function. In any one person, if there is an error in a gene, that same mistake will appear in all the cells that contain the same gene. This is like having an instruction manual in which all the copies have the same typographical error.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes

Most inherited cases of breast cancer are associated with two abnormal genes: BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene one) and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene two).

Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The function of the BRCA genes is to repair cell damage and keep breast cells growing normally. But when these genes contain abnormalities or mutations that are passed from generation to generation, the genes don't function normally and breast cancer risk increases. Abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes may account for up to 10% of all breast cancers, or 1 out of every 10 cases.

Having an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene doesn't mean you will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Researchers are learning that other mutations in pieces of chromosomes -- called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) -- may be linked to higher breast cancer risk in women with an abnormal BRCA1 gene as well as women who didn't inherit an abnormal breast cancer gene.

Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer and have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene often have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other cancers. Still, most people who develop breast cancer did not inherit an abnormal breast cancer gene and have no family history of the disease.

You are substantially more likely to have an abnormal breast cancer gene if:
You have blood relatives (grandmothers, mother, sisters, aunts) on either your mother's or father's side of the family who had breast cancer diagnosed before age 50.
There is both breast and ovarian cancer in your family, particularly in a single individual.
There are other gland-related cancers in your family such as pancreatic, colon, and thyroid cancers.
Women in your family have had cancer in both breasts.
You are of Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern European) heritage.
You are African American and have been diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35 or younger.
A man in your family has had breast cancer.

If one family member has an abnormal breast cancer gene, it does not mean that all family members will have it.

The average woman in the United States has about a 1 in 8, or a 12-13%, risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. Women who have an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene (or both) can have up to an 80% risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetimes. Breast cancers associated with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene tend to develop in younger women and occur more often in both breasts than cancers in women without these abnormal genes.

Women with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene also have an increased risk of developing ovarian, colon, pancreatic, and thyroid cancers, as well as melanoma.

Men who have an abnormal BRCA2 gene have a higher risk for breast cancer than men who don't -- about 8% by the time they're 80 years old. This is about 80 times greater than average.

Men with an abnormal BRCA1 gene have a slightly higher risk of prostate cancer. Men with an abnormal BRCA2 gene are 7 times more likely than men without the abnormal gene to develop prostate cancer. Other cancer risks, such as cancer of the skin or digestive tract, also may be slightly higher in men with abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.
Other genes

Changes in other genes are also associated with breast cancer. These abnormal genes are much less common and don't seem to increase risk as much as abnormal BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are considered rare. Still, because these genetic mutations are rarer, they haven't been studied as much as the BRCA genes.
ATM: The ATM gene helps repair damaged DNA. DNA carries genetic information in cells. Inheriting two abnormal copies of this gene causes the disease ataxia-telangiectasia, a rare disease that affects brain development. Inheriting one abnormal ATM gene has been linked to an increased rate of breast cancer in some families because the abnormal gene stops the cells from repairing damaged DNA.
p53 (also called the TP53 gene): The p53 gene provides instructions to the body for making a protein that stops tumor growth. Inheriting an abnormal p53 gene causes Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a disorder that causes people to develop soft tissue cancers at a young age. People with this rare syndrome have a higher-than-average-risk of breast cancer and several other cancers, including leukemia, brain tumors, and sarcomas (cancer of the bones or connective tissue).
CHEK2: The CHEK2 gene also provides instructions for making a protein that stops tumor growth. Li-Fraumeni syndrome also can be caused by an inherited abnormal CHEK2 gene. Even when an abnormal CHEK2 gene doesn't cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome, it can double breast cancer risk.
PTEN: The PTEN gene helps regulate cell growth. An abnormal PTEN gene causes Cowden syndrome, a rare disorder in which people have a higher risk of both benign (not cancer) and cancerous breast tumors, as well as growths in the digestive tract, thyroid, uterus, and ovaries.
CDH1: The CDH1 gene makes a protein that helps cells bind together to form tissue. An abnormal CDH1 gene causes a rare type of stomach cancer at an early age. Women with an abnormal CDH1 gene also have an increased risk of invasive lobular breast cancer.
Genetic testing

There are genetic tests available to determine if someone has an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. A genetic counselor also may order testing for an abnormal ATM, p53, CHEK2, PTEN, or CDH1 gene if it's determined from your personal or family history that these tests are needed.

Personal History of Breast Cancer

If you've been diagnosed with breast cancer, you're 3 to 4 times more likely to develop a new cancer in the other breast or a different part of the same breast. This risk is different from the risk of the original cancer coming back (called risk of recurrence).
