Can sleeping next to your bra on really lead to breast cancer?

Im 13 and still going through breast development so I sleep beside a bra on because I find my breasts hurt if I dont wear one. My friend told me that sleeping with a bra on can motive breast cancer. Is this true or is she trying to freak me out?

Answers:    According to the American Cancer Society, there is "no proven or clinical basis" to an Internet rumor that claims that under-wire bras cause breast cancer. So relay your mom that there is no proof that wearing a bra — hours of darkness or day — have any link to cancer.

Are you have pain contained by your breasts? Painful breasts are often cause by normal hormonal shifts; lots girls feel in particular tender right around the time of their period. But if the throbbing is consistent, or your back is hurting, mention it to your doctor and ask what might be cause your discomfort.

Are you wearing a bra a night because you touch uncomfortable by your developing breasts? Sometimes it seem like they'll never stop growing, or you may consistency like they're not the "right" (whatever that means) shape and size. It's stressful when your body go through such rapid change or growth spurts. Just remember, no matter how much you believe you look weird or different, everyone else go through similar moments of anxiety and total body trauma.

theres another question exactly similar to this its still open so u might want to budge check out some of the answers no, but you shouldn't sleep with a bra on while you are developing...that's what is cause the pain.
she's full of crap! Don't you expect we would hear about that on tv or something?! No it wont create breast cancer and it will not affect the growth of breast.
no! Your friend is either lying or is mis-informed your friend is full it. Cancer happen when cells mutate and over grow. This is cause by DNA, free radicals, radiation exposure, chemicals and carcinogens. Unless your bra contains chemicals, you hold a greater chance getting cancer from watching tv than you do from your bra.

Think nearly it, millions of women wear bras, not just while they are sleeping. Yet of those who wear them while they are awake, as apose to sleeping, no correlation is coupled to breast cancer.
yah. friend is wrong and trying to scare you. I've hear that as well. it's supposed to be if the bra is too tight.that it can be tight adequate to affect the lymphatic fluid draining properly,causing problems.you don't inevitability to wear a bra for around the house.
