7 Things About Breasts That Men And Women Need To Know
~1.8 mins read
Breasts are commonly seen as symbols of female sexuality, have different sizes, and can become a reason for torture during PMS (premenstrual tension). Therefore, if you are a woman and have ever been bothered by something in relation to them, rest assured that you are not alone. According to the specialists, the organs can interfere with self-esteem and well-being. Below are answers to some curiosities about them.
1 - They have different sizes
The human body is asymmetrical. In the case of breasts, which are very vascularized organs, in most cases, the left is larger than the right. Asymmetry is an evidence in women, but without any proven scientific explanation. In some cases, when they are too big, plastic surgery is recommended for correction.
2 - They are sensitive
The sensibility modifies according to the menstrual cycle. After the middle of the period, the elevation of the progesterone hormone rate causes water and salt retention in the body. This swelling develops hypersensitivity, which can cause discomfort, burning, or stinging.
However, only women who are genetically sensitive to the action of the hormone go through this phase. At this time of the month, intimacy can be a cause of pain, and the partner needs to be careful and understand.
3 - They really do fall
The main reason is age. After menopause, the mammary glands atrophy due to lack of hormones and become "fat receptacles". However, there are physical factors that can influence whether the breasts fall more or less, such as breast size. Women who are thin and tall have more loose connective tissue, responsible for structural support, than those who are short and heavier.
And, attention, because the effect of losing weight and gaining weight frequently can anticipate the process, which is called ptosis. To delay it, experts recommend the use of appropriate bras -- pieces that give support so that the weight of the breasts is not on the skin of the chest, but on the straps.
4 - They affect self-esteem
The breasts are commonly seen as a symbol of female sexuality, according to experts. They compare its importance to the penis for men. For being so linked to the woman's identity, is that many seek to remodel them with silicone implants or reduction.
That is also why breast reconstruction is a procedure covered by professionals, and also as part of the breast cancer treatment.

Some times, when we take a look at some of the historical happenings, we just can't help but wonder how it all came about. If you are a lover of history, I'm sure you must have heard about some weird practices which were normal and practiced by a set of people. But thankfully, most of such practices have been stopped due to the arrival of Europeans.
Heard about the Mangbetu ethnic group in Congo where they practiced skull elongation? Well, the Mangbetu are a Central Sudanic ethnic group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, living in the northeastern province of Haut-Uele. These people stood out because of their elongated heads. Traditionally, babies' heads were wrapped tightly with cloth in order to give it that shape. You may be wondering why it's so.
What appears to be a major deformity of the skull was considered a symbol of great beauty to these people, interesting right? Now, this style of elongation is called "Lipombo". Here's the fun fact, according to History Daily, this deformation doesn't usually affect the brain as long as the pressure is normal for the person. So the brain just grows to the shape of the head. Interesting right?
See some photos of the people with elongated heads. Even the babies. Forgive me but I can't help but imagine how painful it must have been to wrap a baby's head so tightly with cloth a month after the baby is born, though according to them, they see it as a sign of higher intelligence.
Well, the practice started dying out in the early 1950's. The practice was also outlawed by the Belgian Government who ruled over colonial Congo.
