JAKARTA - Bra serves as a breast support during her daily activities. Some choose to remove the bra at home, or during sleep, because they feel that their breasts can be freer. However, there are also those who choose to keep wearing a bra or BH while sleeping because they are used to it.

Will health be disturbed if the bra is still worn while sleeping? According to doctor Anisha Nurul Rachman from the Kemayoran Health Center, Jakarta, using a bra while sleeping that is too small can cause problems.

"Because during sleep the upper respiratory tract tends to narrow so as to reduce oxygen intake and limit air movement in the chest," said Anisha, quoted from ANTARA, Thursday, October 13.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose a bra with a size that suits the breast so that it can really support the chest fruit.

Routinely changing the bra is also important for the health of the skin. If a dirty bra continues to be used, there is a risk of skin infection due to bacteria and fungi that breeds.

Anisha also said that the assumption that wire bras can trigger breast cancer is a myth, because there is no difference in risk between women who use wire bras and ordinary bra users.

Can not wearing a bra cause the breast to become loose? He explained that breast tissue viscosity is related to breast density.

"If there are more fat tissues than fiber tissues, then breasts will tend to sag," he said.

Breast resistance is influenced by many things, including age, breast size, weight, smoking habits, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
