Breast Bondage

[shy slave]

This is hot on the heels of the Obesity thread, but i have been thinking again

Is there a higher prevelance of breast cancer in female subs who have their breasts bound, as oppose to the rest of the female population who do not have bound breasts on a regular basis?

I have googled on this but not found anything specific.

I am aware of the safety warnings attached to binding breasts, you can hardly pass a site that does not mention all the issues.

However, If a severe knock is believed to be the prompt to some breast cancers (and that is also debatable), would restriction for even a short length of time increase the risk?

I know there are several healthcare people on the boards whose opinions I would value; but would also like to hear from those who practice this on their sub/slaves, and if this issue has ever been a consideration or part of a pre/post conversation.

Any philosophical views also appreciated ( but Pure can you write slowly, then I can read it slowly and hopefully understand it all lolol)

Thanks in advance for all opinions/views/hijacks/etc

Yes, that is highly debateable.

Thanks navarre for the links.

I have seen the iron-rose one before, and it is useful as it gives do's and don'ts of breast bondage but there is little said about breast cancer.
Thought it worth reproducing part of the first article from aol.

The Breast
The breast is not all fat, it also has supporting structures and milk ducts. Other areas of the body have large fatty areas, such as the buttocks, which can experience trauma-induced fat necrosis. However, the breasts are the only largely-fat area that can be isolated and tied up, restricting necessary blood supply.

Fat Necrosis mimics breast cancer both clinically and mammographically. There is no way to tell a cancerous lump from fat necrosis without a biopsy, so the lump must be surgically removed. (3, 16) Fat necrosis doesn’t cause breast cancer, but you can’t assume that a lump in your breast was caused by scarring - it must be removed in order to be sure it’s not cancer.

One woman reported that fatty tissue in her breast had been ruptured during a minor car accident, in a line that was caused by her safety belt. The accident had happened 4 years prior to her mammogram and had been so minor that neither the cars or the people were hurt, and she had experienced no pain and had no bruising. Yet the doctor explained that the milk ducts and supporting structures in the breasts form scar tissue very easily. This makes the detection of breast cancer more difficult. Since 1 in 9 women get breast cancer (some doctors say 1 in 11) and early detection means the difference between life and death, you must get regular mamograms and monthly breast exams to discover any lumps in your breasts.
Prevention:

Trauma, which is a blow to the fat tissue, can occur under a variety of circumstances. The degree of injury depends on the force of the blow and its direction. Trauma can also be caused by twisting the tissue, which may happen when rope is being wound around the breast. (18) Pain is probably the best indicator that damage is being done.

Hypoxemia, too little oxygen in the blood caused by poor circulation, is a leading cause of cell death and fat necrosis. (12) The point of no return is difficult to define at the level of the cell. On the most basic medical level, the point of irreversible damage in fat cells occurs in as little as 15-60 minutes. (11)

However, recognizable morphologic changes may not be apparent for a few hours. It requires 8 to 24 hours for the nuclear changes to occur. Meanwhile, the cytoplasm has passed through the stages of swelling and becomes transformed into an acidophilic, granular, opaque mass.

Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Fibrocystic breasts are prone to the formation of both fluid-filled cysts and fibrous tissue. Typically the breasts have a lumpy feel, and both lumpiness and tenderness increase in the week prior to menstruation. Tight, frequent breast bondage or long painful stimulation should be avoided, as these can increase the formation of breast cysts. (6)


Fibroadenomas

Fibroadenomas are benign breast growths which usually occur in young women. They are a very common cause of breast masses in the 15 to 25 age group. Fibroadenomas also account for 15% of all palpable breast masses in women 30-40 years of age. Clinically, these growths are smooth, firm and easily movable masses. It is generally accepted practice that suspected fibroadenomas should be removed in women over the age of 25. These growths are not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. (15)


Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a complex and devastating disease, and the most frequently diagnosed cancer in American women. In 1995, there will be an estimated 182,000 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed in this country and an estimated 46,000 deaths. The cause of cancer is not known at this time. (5)

Fibrocystic breast disease, fibroadenoma, fat necrosis and hematoma are all benign breast conditions that may lead to biopsy due to the fact that cancers cannot be identified by palpation alone. (7) That's why it is common sense to get anything usual checked immediately by a doctor. If it isn't cancer your mind will be put at rest. If it is, it can be treated as quickly as possible.

This is not the whole article but bits of it (bracketed numbers refer to references at end of full article).

I was interested in the part regarding breast tissue scarring, which makes cancer more difficult to detect.
Mammograms are not usually recommended for those women under 50yrs as the tissue is too fatty to get a clear indication.

It makes me wonder if those under 50 yrs have alternative options other than surgery to discover if a lump is scarred tissue or cancer.

Do you think that women who participate in breast bondage should be more careful, follow guidelines etc or ask for additional health tests and explain why.
I have yet to find any lumps but realise this is a sensitive subject for many people.

I hope airing on this subject boards does not upset anyone.
If it has, or does, please PM me or ask MissT to remove the thread

If I stuffed my tiny toes in size six pumps they would disappear!!!
Oh if there is a fairy Godmother "Can i have grown-up feet to match the grown-up breasts please"

I am sure you would agree Lance ..size isn't everything

I ventured in here after reading your post on the gb. I'm glad I did. This thread is most informative and very interesting.

I hope you don't mind.

Mind of course not

Good to see you luscious, and you can tell the GB people you survived!!

Has anyone else got thoughts or opinions on the potential connection between breast bondage and cancer, or scarring, which may need investigation to establish it is scarring.

I love breast bondage but can't help but be concerned afterwards about the potential damage that can be done in the long term .

Ahhh....my first post. Hope this is helpful:

"It makes me wonder if those under 50 yrs have alternative options other than surgery to discover if a lump is scarred tissue or cancer."

About 10 years ago, at age 35, I was diagnosed with what turned out to be a fibroadenoma (a benign, solid mass). So, I can knowedgeably speak only about the state of medicine at that time.

If your mammogram turned up something suspicious, the next stop was a sonogram - which could determine whether it was a fluid filled cyst or a solid mass. Mine was a solid mass.

At the time, there were new developments in radiology, allowing diagnosis of certain types of solid masses via noninvasive imaging, but this was still fairly experimental and only worked for a very few conditions. I've no idea whether this has become more accepted, or abandoned.

Also, depending on the type of mass, it might have been possible to have a "needle biopsy" - where they stick a fat needle into you and withdraw a tissue sample. This is still quite common.

The other choice (and the one I fought tooth and nail, but eventually had to accept) was a surgical biopsy, where they just remove the thing. If it's a solid mass, I'd bet most roads still lead there.

Have found a thread on the general board about women and cancer.
