Patient's question:
What should I do about underdeveloped breasts? I don't want to have surgery. Can I continue to develop through medication? What kind of medication should I take? I have had underdeveloped breasts since puberty. First follow-up question: I am 22 years old, thank you, doctor. I have never really developed much since I was young. In middle school, I developed a little, but now they are still very small, which makes me feel very insecure. I really want to take some kind of medication, like traditional Chinese medicine, to treat it. Would you recommend any medication? Thank you. Second follow-up question: I feel that my other sexual characteristics have developed well. It should not be due to congenital reasons either. My mother's breasts are normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the fundamental reason for your undeveloped breasts is due to your low estrogen levels. Generally, women stop developing at the age of 28.(1) First, you need to have a healthy body.
(2) Use bras correctly and reasonably. Avoid tight bras that constrict the chest or waist, or wearing tight undergarments for long periods.
(3) Maintain good posture habits.
(4) Engage in regular exercise, especially exercises that strengthen the pectoral muscles. For women whose breast development is not ideal, you can persist in self-massage of the breasts.
