all my life i have been wearing underwire bras, but lately i noticed some pain in my right boob just right there where the underwire ends, below the armpit...
i stopped wearing underwire bras, but from time to time it happens that i wear one...
the pain, when it happens, is consant, and sometimes it is not just when i am wearing underwire bra, but also when i am wearing non underwired ones..
is it possible to have pain only on that spot even when i am not waering underwire now, but as a result of previous wearing?
i did not experience any other pain in the breast, just on this one spot...
should i be worried?
thank you

I wouldn't worry unless it persists, then I'd talk to the doctor.
I'd check myself regular and get mammograms if called for.
But I have heard and read about studies done that have shown an increase in breast cancers and troubles from
women that wear underwires---I used to always---but not anymore. They said especially when sleeping BUT to if possible completely eliminate wear them something to do with the actual type of "wire" that the manufactures use.
Not to scare you but more to forewarn!!!
Beside nice comfy cotton no wire bras are more comfy anyway at least in my opinion. And they do have some heavy duty ones for extra support if thats what you need *wink*
Good Luck!!!

I also used to get irritation from wearing underwire bras and quit using them years ago. I only wear 100% cotton bras. The brand I use is Playtex 18 hour.
Because of the fact that you are having pain at other times besides with the underwire bra I would recommend seeing your dr about this.

Try wearing cotton ones if u can get any. Sometimes for soem woman, during the periods there is a pain in those areas due to soem hormonal condiitons.
Remove ur bras in the night when u sleep.
Consult a doc if the same persisits.

I think you should see a doctor as it may not be the underwire.
If however it is the underwire, this is what I do : bend the ends of the underwire outwards just by a few milimetres, so they dont press against you.
But please see a doctor!

Soreness is probably from where the under-wire was constantly jabbing you. It should cease. If you are still having pain, make sure you self examine for lumps. Make sure you get your mammograms done yearly. Under-wire bras are pretty, but very uncomfortable. I make a small slit and remove the under-wire from all my bras.
