Health advice regarding underwire bras and pillow selection

Dr. Lavaya Kiran, a consultant in obstetrics and gynecology, has clarified that wearing underwire bras does not cause breast cancer. However, she warns that poorly fitted or excessively tight bras can lead to several physical discomforts. These include skin irritation, redness, and rashes caused by friction, as well as breast pain from wire pressure. Improper support can also result in shoulder and back pain, skin indentations, and restricted movement.

Regarding sleep hygiene, different pillow materials offer varying levels of support for the head and neck. Memory foam pillows adapt to body heat and pressure to provide stable support, though they may retain heat. Feather pillows offer softness and adjustability but may not suit everyone. The ideal choice depends on sleeping position, personal habits, and temperature preferences.
