Q: Breast not developed
asked by: i_need_help18 on June 2nd, 2009

i'm 18 and my breast have not developed at all. My latest period was about 2 months ago and this seems to happen alot, that i miss my period. I exercise alot: running and some light weights and some people say that this can have an effect towards development of my breast. Im 5'7 and weigh 9 stone (133 lbs roughly).
In the past, my sister has scratched my right nipple by accident before puberty started, therefore she bruised it. My nipple started to become wet, it was bruised, i got treated for it and now its healed. I used the cream fucibet to treat this. But it is noticeable that the nipple has been scratched.

i havent received any kind of surgeries whats so ever or breast enhacing pills or hormonal pills.

please tell me if my breast will develop still.

Have you been to a doctor to check your hormone levels? It may be normal for you to have irregular periods, but at 18, you should start getting regular check-ups anyway.

Do the other women in your family have larger breasts or are they on the small side? If they are small breasted, then you probably will be, too.

The exercising should only have an effect if your body fat percentage is very low. It happens with a lot of female athletes, especially if they start young. Look at gymnasts, figure skaters, ballet dancers, etc. They keep their body fat low and they usually have no breasts. Have you always been very fit? Even when you were 12-14 years old?

You should go to the doctor and talk about all of this. Usually breast development is about finished around age 18, but they can fill out a bit after that (mine did).
