Are underwires not a good idea?

A friend of mine went to see the doctor recently and she was told by her doctor that wearing bras with an underwire can possibly be a detriment to one's health...has anyone else heard this?

    nope... underwires do not cause problems... that is if u wear the right size. If the wire is not on the bust route then it is a problem ... it can cause cancer, if the wire sits on the bust tissue, it clots the blood... posing a chance for the occurance of cancer. Hence the answer to ur question is yes and no both... be sure of finding the right cup size.
