While some women are rushing out to get breast implants, many women with naturally large breasts face several problems related to them. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, women with large breasts can experience emotional and physical health issues. For some, the associated issues are bothersome enough to pursue breast reduction surgery to remove excess tissue and glands.
Back Pain
Women with large breasts may experience back pain as the back is strained to support the weight of the breasts. This pain can be in the lower or upper back. The pain may also be present in the neck, which can cause tension headaches, as well as extending into the shoulders. Wearing a special support undergarment on the back may help to alleviate some of the pain associated with large breasts.
Shoulder Indentations
Women who have lived with large breasts for quite some time may develop indentations in their shoulders from bra straps. The weight of the breasts can cause the bra straps to leave permanent indentations where the straps lay on the shoulders. Those with large breasts should seek a bra with wide shoulder straps and look for those with padding or gel in the straps to ease this problem.
Rashes
Large breasts typically sag earlier and more than breasts that are smaller. Because the skin of the breast lies over the abdomen, excess sweating may result. This can lead to rashes under the breasts or even a yeast infection due to the moist environment. Using powder, cornstarch or deodorant under the breasts may help this issue, particularly when the weather is warmer.
Clothing
Large breasts can make finding appropriate fitting clothing difficult. This is especially true for women who are at a healthy weight but have large breasts. They may have to increase several sizes in tops in order to accommodate large breasts which results in the clothing being too big in other areas or a trip to the tailor for alterations. Finding bras that offer support in the correct size may also be difficult in traditional department stores. Many women with large breasts have to special order bras or visit a store that specializes in these garments.
Exercise
Women with large breasts can have trouble performing simple exercise routines due to the weight and size of their breasts. Jogging or running may be especially difficult. Women may have to wear two support bras or a regular bra in addition to a sports bra to have the appropriate amount of support. For some, the inability to exercise can lead to excess weight gain, which in turn creates or adds to self-esteem issues.
