Can you get breast cancer from wearing a bra to bed?!


Question: I highly doubt it. I wear my bra to bed, and I doubt it will cause cancer. I was just wondering where this rumour came from?!

There are a number of urban myths/legends concerning breast cancer and bras - others are you can get it by wearing a badly-fitting bra, or an underwired bra or a even a padded bra.

All nonsense.

Breast cancer, like all other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. Underwear has no effect on this process..

Who knows where rumours like this originate? Cancer's scary and its causes are largely a mystery, and people crave explanations. It's sometimes less frightening for people who haven't had cancer to 'blame the victim' and attribute cancer to lifestyle choices on the part of cancer patients - whether it be diet, lack of exercise or the bras they wear - than it is for them to accept that cancer is a largely random disease which can strike any of us at any time

I dont think so but it isnt good for ur breasts they dont have time/room to grow and stuff.
You shouldnt wear one tobed

Well, I can tell you one thing, it definately came from a complete idiot that has no idea what cancer is. Besides, wearing a bra to bed actually keeps your boobs from drooping so much later on.

well there is no actual medical fact that confirms the rumor but some people have claimed that wearng a bra to bed gave them cancer...nobody knows what causes cancer but depending on the size of them and how tight the bra is can cause some problems like blockage and clotts.

I hope not cuse i some times do to
idont think so because you wear a bra alday dont get brest cancer so why should it be any diffrent if you wear it @ night when your asleep.

No I don't think so.
But people have said it's not good for you/ your body.

best of all its better not to do this!!!
but in medical books there is nothing like that.
breast cancer is the most common cancer in woman. its predisposing factors is not clearly known.but there is something that i have wrote it for u:
1_Aging(more than 45)
2_Genetic Risk Factors(BRCA1&BRCA2&p53&...)
3_Family History of Breast Cancer(its very important but It's important to note this means that 70% to 80% of women who get breast cancer do not have a family history of this disease)
4_Personal History of Breast Cancer
5_Race(White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer)
6_Abnormal Breast Biopsy Results
at the end I'm a medical student and I hope my mail be useful for u
