While many women may consider big boobs attractive. However, it’s not always the case. Having large breasts, also known as macromastia, can also have numerous side effects on your health and your social life as well. Big breasts have been linked to some health complications and physical pain. Aside from these physical factors, they can make women have low self-esteem, over time, this affects them mentally as well. Below are some of the ways large breasts can negatively impact your life.
1. Neck and back pain
Having large breasts can cause a strain on your back muscles and shoulders. Especially when you are standing upright or walking, you may feel the strain caused on your shoulders. Over time, this affects your overall posture and you will start experiencing back problems due to slouching. With time, this pain shifts to your neck as you try to keep your shoulders back to maintain an upright position. Over the years, the stress build-up causes your back muscles to weaken. This factor has made many women with large breasts seek breast reduction.
The pull of gravity coupled with the weight of heavy breasts causes them to sag, and this can lower ladies’ self-esteem as men always expect boobs to be perked up. Large natural breasts can also trap moisture in between their chest and boobs. This sweat, if not cleaned promptly and properly, can lead to rashes that are itchy and cause discomfort around the chest area.
2.They impair some types of motion.
Having big breasts can also impact your physical activity. Women with macromastia find it difficult to participate in sports such as running, or even going to the gym as their breasts can get in the way of their movement. Even going for morning jogs can prove difficult if you have overly big boobs. It may be uncomfortable lying down on your tummy as you may feel your breasts hurting.
Bending over to pick up items can be hard as well. Also linked to having large breasts is the need to wear bras all the time, as gravity can be your enemy. Not even the most fitting sports bra can save you from the weight of big breasts as you try to work out. You will experience pain in both your back and your chest as they play a role in supporting your boobs.
In addition to limited mobility when it comes to jogging and running, playing sports can also be bothersome, especially if the sport contains rough movements such as steeplechase or rugby.
3. Noticeable lacerations caused by bra straps.
Apart from causing pain in your back and shoulders, having big breasts can also cause physical injuries due to their weight. Marks such as shoulder grooving are caused when you wear bras for too long to support your breasts. Oftentimes, if the bras are too tight, they can cause friction between the straps and your skin and cause burn marks around your shoulders. These marks are usually painful and take a long time to heal.
Large breasts pull down on the straps of your bra, and this can cause indentation on your shoulders just below the neck. These stress marks are a sign that the weight of your boobs might be overwhelming even for you. Breast reduction can help you reduce the size of your boobs to a considerable size that won’t be a burden to your neck and back.
4.Can cause unwarranted attention.
Having breasts of any size already makes heads turn whenever you walk in public. This attention, however, can be several times worse for women with big boobs as many even get cat calls as they walk. This can lower their self-esteem and affect their social activity. Big boobs are a big source of insecurity for women since they will always be conscious of people’s eyes when they walk past them. With big breasts, you are highly likely to get objectified by men every time you go outside. Many ladies hide their breasts by putting on baggy clothes that will cover their body physique, just to escape the glaring eyes of passers-by and motorists.
However, with time, you will learn how to deal with people who outrightly catcall you or stare at your natural breasts for long periods.
5. Trouble finding fitting clothes and bras.
Having big breasts also means you will have a difficult time finding clothes that fit you properly around the chest area. Since most clothes are not adjustable, finding the perfect blouse or dress can be a hassle. Another problem women with large boobs experience is finding fitting bras. Since the majority of women in the world have normal-sized breasts, not much attention is paid to ladies with larger breasts than usual.
So you would either have to buy an oversized bra that won’t sit right with you, or compromise on using a smaller bra and enduring the discomfort for days on end. Having huge breasts could mean having very few clothes that you can feel extremely comfortable in. Since quality and comfort play a major role in selecting a good bra, it will be very difficult to find one that fits you. Also, it means you cannot wear fitting clothes as anything you wear will come off as “too revealing” to other people.
Conclusion.
While some women with small breasts may consider having big boobs a fantasy, it’s not always a walk in the park. The points highlighted above are some of the reasons why many ladies with huge natural breasts do not enjoy having big natural breasts. If you experience or have experienced one or more of the symptoms above, then you should consider getting breast reduction surgery to enable you to manage your boobs better.
Breast reduction surgery does just what the name implies. They reduce the size of your natural breasts to a more normal/manageable volume/and weight. You will be able to sleep better on your tummy, perform tasks such as running and walk around without feeling ashamed of your own body.
