Embarrassing Illnesses

Hi i'm 13 and i am a 34D. My mates say that if you wear a non-wired bra your breasts will sag quicker.b Esspecially if you have bigger breasts. Is this true?
Thanks x

Im a 24 yr old woman with 34 G boobs i am currently awaiting a date for my surgery for a breast reduction on the nhs i do have a curvature of my back which is a element of me being suitable for the op, the 1st step is to go and see your gp, then he will reffer you to a plastic's consultant who will decide if you are suitable for the operation.

I am 30 and had a breast reduction 18 months ago on the NHS. I was a 30JJ and had suffered chronic back pain and really low self esteem as a result since I was 16. I was having to wear size 14-16 tops on a size 10-12 frame and had to wear enormous expensive bras that left marks in my shoulders and permanent sore red marks around my back.
It had not occurred to me to try and get a reduction done on the NHS until my friend who is a nurse suggested it. I could not afford to have it done privately as it wouldve cost thousands. I did some research and found that the Primary Care Trust where I live will fund about 400 operations per year. I went to my doctor with a letter from my chiropractor in support of my decision, (I'd spent hundreds of pounds on getting my back treated) and she referred me to a surgeon straight away. I had to wait less than 6 months and the results are fantastic.
I would say to anyone considering it do not in any way be embarrassed about seeing a doctor or talking about it to anyone, its a really common problem. The operation has made an incredible difference to my life….for the first time in as long as I can remember I am not in pain every day, I can wear whatever i want, I can walk across a room without being paranid that people are staring, I can do sport again…its just amazing. They have healed really well, it's just the best decision Ive ever made. My only regret is that I should have had it done ten years ago and made the most of my 20's.

hi

i'm 13 and have a bra size of 28FF. I once went to a bra shop and they said that i shouldn't be wearing underwires bras because of my age, but i cant seem to find any bras of my size that are not underwired. Is it bad to were underwired bras with my sized breasts? and if so why?

Thanx

i am 19year old student with 32g breasts on a size 10 upper body size however finding clothes to fit often i have to wear tops that are 14-16 where apart from in the breast area they hang off me should those clothes have buttons this can prove difficult and and also bras in mainstream stores on a tight student budget which is proving impossible i have been considering a breast reduction for a while and it is only recently that i have had the courage to even mention the subject to family and friends due to embarrassment. it is a very emotional subject for me as i am a very self conscious person so having a body that is really out of proportion is very much a sore topic for me to add to this when i was 17years old i was diagnosed with jhs (joint hypermobility syndrome) in this diagnosis i was also diagnosed with upper back scoliosis and i find having such a heavy load of my front is detrimental to my back. i have tried losing weight to see if this has made any difference but it just seems that my back size decreases and my cup size increases which is incredibly frustrating. i have a friend who at 15 had a breast reduction for the similar self concious reasons as myself and she describes this as the best she has ever made and as she has got older her breasts have continued to grow so she is preparing for a second operation. i would really appreciate some help on this matter. many thanks x

at the age of 11 i was a 36 C, im now 16 and i am a 34 HH .. i have really bad bad proplems and have to get my clothes in triple the size, i really want a boob reduction but dont think i can wait another 2 years to get one. i still get growing pains in my boobs, i dont think i could handle it is they grew any bigger.

I'm nearly 17 years old and my breasts have been growing since I was 12, and at the moment I'm 30GG or 30H, and still growing. A lot of people think they're amazing and wish they had big breasts but they hurt my back, they hurt when I take them out of the bra to go to sleep, and they get in the way as I'm very into sport and athletics. Someone suggested sergery but I'm not sure if I want that. I don't know what to do?

My breast are very similar in size and shape to these, it is depressing, and i would love a breast reduction. i am very curious as to the costs involved?

im 16 and ever since i can remember i've had bigger breasts than the girls in my class. Now i am a 30FF. When i do PE or and sports they constantly get in the way and make me not work to my full potential as i feel people will stare. Also my friends constantly talk about them and they are nearly always brought up in conversations. They give me really bad backache and are a constant pain in my life! I was wondering if i can have a breast reduction at my age with my parents consent and if i'd be able to get it on the NHS or if i'd have to pay?
Thanks for your time

Hi I am a 38yr old woman,I'm 5ft3" with a size 38DD verging on an E cup breast size.
I have a very embarrassing problem where i get a sweat rash under each breast that weeps pus and smells disgusting. My hygiene levels are at the utmost but nothing helps. This is affecting my life terribly and my sex life is suffering too as I do not allow my partner to come near me when this flares up.I am so scared at the thought of surgery therefore am undertaking a strict weight loss programme to see if it helps. If not Can I qualify for a reduction on the NHS?
