Breast hygiene is very important for women’s health. Not cleaning and caring for the breast properly can lead to many serious diseases. Let us know why breast hygiene is important and what diseases can occur due to not adopting it.

Risk of infection: Not cleaning the breast properly increases the risk of infection. Accumulation of sweat and dirt can cause bacteria to grow, which can cause skin irritation, itching and red rashes

Fungal infection: Fungal infection can occur due to moisture and heat in the skin under the breast. It is also called intertrigo. This condition can be very uncomfortable and painful.

Nipple infection: If the nipple is not cleaned properly, infection can occur here too. This can cause pain, swelling and discharge in the nipple. This problem can be especially troublesome for breastfeeding mothers.

Risk of breast cancer: Although breast cancer is not directly related to hygiene, proper care of the breast and regular checkup helps in identifying the early symptoms. With cleanliness and proper care, you can identify any abnormality early and get timely treatment.

Wear the right size bra. Avoid too tight or too loose bra. Wear cotton bra, which allows the skin to breathe easily.
