Random Facts About Breasts + Breast Health
Over the past few months, I've shared with you some personal experiences I've had with my mammogram as well as a brush with breast cancer (read more here).
While you're making your appointment for your mammography at Southtowns Radiology (you're doing that right now, right???), take a look at some random breast facts I found.
- There are four types of nipples: normal, flat, puffy, or inverted.
- Around 6% of people have an extra nipple...and it's not just women. 1-3% of men have a third as well!
- 15 POUNDS -- that's how much a pair of D-cup breasts can weigh! No wonder big chested women often have back problems!
- The average woman owns about 6 bras, and spend about $16 BILLION a year on them.
- Some doctors say sleeping facedown can change the shape of your breasts. To prevent it, put a pillow under them for support each night.
