Hormones for Breast Development Posted: 03-28-08 22:17pm
What hormone(s) are responsible for breast
development?
I am 21 and I have no breasts. I don't
fit into a bra, but I wear one anyway to
pad or I wear a push up so I look like a
have "something". I don't know why... I
have my period and everything else looks
normal.
Should I bring it up with my doctor?

Oestrogen is the main hormone responsible
for breast development. If you are
worried about growth, it wouldn't hurt to
bring it up to your doctor. He can
evaluate you and see if there are any
hormone deficiencies that you can be
treated for. Do small breasts run in your
family? It may just be in your genes.

My guess it is genetic. Women get their
breast size coming from their father's
side of the family. Most doctors recommend
surgical enhancement to enlarge breasts.
