《中英對照讀新聞》Right bra could halt breast ops 合適的胸罩可避免乳房手術

◎鄭寺音

Bra fitting clinics in hospitals could prevent thousands of unnecessary and expensive breast reduction operations every year.

醫院裡的胸罩試穿診所,每年可避免數千件不必要且昂貴的縮乳手術。

A London hospital offering bra checks says so far, none of the women tested has been wearing the correct cup size.

倫敦一間提供胸罩檢查的醫院說,迄今接受檢查的女性無一穿戴正確的罩杯。

This can lead to pain in the neck, back and shoulders, say doctors, sometimes so severe that women seek surgery.

醫生說,這樣可能導致頸部、背部與肩膀疼痛,有些女性甚至痛到要尋求手術治療。

A leading breast surgeon said women tended to over-estimate by up to three cup sizes when buying a bra.

一名知名乳房外科醫師說,女性買胸罩時,常會過度估計最多3個罩杯。

Reduction surgery is frequently requested by large-breasted women who are suffering discomfort.

感到不舒服的大胸脯女性,常常要求動縮乳手術。

Approximately 10,000 women a year have breast reductions carried out privately in the UK.

英國每年約有1萬名女性私下接受縮乳手術。

However, Dr Alex Clarke, a clinical psychologist from the Royal Free Hospital in London, said that this could be money wasted, when all that was really needed was a better-fitting bra.

但倫敦皇家自由醫院的臨床心理學家克拉克醫師說,這可能是浪費錢,所有的案例真正需要的只是更合適的胸罩。
