Random Facts About Breasts + Breast Health

Over the past few months, I've shared with you some personal experiences I've had with my mammogram as well as a brush with breast cancer (read more here).

While you're making your appointment for your mammography at Southtowns Radiology (you're doing that right now, right???), take a look at some random breast facts I found.

• There are four types of nipples:  normal, flat, puffy, or inverted.
• Around 6% of people have an extra nipple...and it's not just women.  1-3% of men have a third as well!
• 15 POUNDS -- that's how much a pair of D-cup breasts can weigh! No wonder big chested women often have back problems!
• The average woman owns about 6 bras, and spend about $16 BILLION a year on them.
• Some doctors say sleeping facedown can change the shape of your breasts. To prevent it, put a pillow under them for support each night.
