Hi guys, I have a question that I didn't know the answer to so I thought I would share it with you and see if anyone can help me with answers.

My cousin came to me the other day, very upset and unhappy with her body. Her main issue is that she has no boobs. I reassured her that she is completely in proportion but she wanted to know if a doctor could give her hormones or something (like they would for breast growth in a male wanting to be female)?

I really have no idea, I have read that there are herbal tablets but most of the read ups on these say they are a waste of time. I would really like to help my cousin come out of this strange depression that she is in that seems to be caused by her insecurities. Anyone that has any answers please help!

Hiya,

My friends daughter-in-law was sooooooooooooooo unhappy about her breast size that she consulted her GP to discuss it (shes early 20's and has had 2 children) - after referring her to a specialist and many hoops to jump through, she is now having breast augmentation on the NHS.

A colleague at work was sooooooooo unhappy with her large breasts, she also consulted her GP and had a reduction courtesy of the NHS

I am explaining this so that anyone reading will know it is possible to have breast operations on the NHS.

This may not help your cousin, but it will help clarify what the NHS will and won't do.

For your cousin, perhaps the padded style bras that are available might help alleviate her anxieties. Best of luck to you and I am sure she appreciated your support. :)

Laura1318 agony auntThose transvestite took those birth control pills for breast growth,but it may not work properly in women .

It may make the women fatter in their butts or thighs.

In China , some parents fed those pills to their 12 year old daughters to have a more developed boobs.

She can take those phyto estrogen found in foods.

According to a study by Canadian researchers about the content of nine common phytoestrogens in a Western diet, foods with the highest relative phytoestrogen content were nuts and oilseeds, followed by soy products, cereals and breads, legumes, meat products, and other processed foods that may contain soy, vegetables, fruits, alcoholic, and nonalcoholic beverages. Flax seed and other oilseeds contained the highest total phytoestrogen content, followed by soy bean and tofu.[11] The highest concentrations of Isoflavones are found in soy bean and soy bean products (eg. tofu) followed by legumes, whereas lignans are the primary source of phytoestrogen found in nuts and oilseeds (e.g. flax) and also found in cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables.

(From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens#Food_sources )

Phyto estrogen is the natural estrogen that is found in our foods and it mimics the female estrogen.

This may help her increase her boob size.

The fastest way is still breast augmentations.

Don't believe in all those breast increasing creams. They are a waste of money and does not work.

There is an unorthodox method,by using suction pumps like the breast pump.You can make your own. Connect to a container(big enough to cover your boob) with a rubber hose and suck the air out.

There is this equipment in the market but it is very expensive. The air is sucked out by a motor.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Thank you very much for your replies, I can't see her going for the surgery option as she is a bit of a whimp and wont even have injections without a panick attack and tears. She is coming 21 so I am not convinced that she will develop any more, I have told her to speak to the doctor but do think that it very sad that quite a regular problem like this, does not yet have less severe medical options.

I understand you problem anonymous, I myself have had children and my chest size has decreased. At first I was a little upset as I quite liked my fuller figure, but I have deflated from a 32E so I guess I have still now resulted with more than some are blessed with. I hope you find a way to be happy with your new chest.

i have the answer to this although its not a good one but i will share it will you as it will be of benefit to your cousin. i myself have recently been to my doctor and asked if there was anything i could do to increase my breast size. although my reason for this might be slightly different im sure it will be the same for anyone whos asks ther doctor. im 32 and have had three children my breast size has changed from a 36c to 34a my doctor told me that there was no contraceptive pill that would help and also no hormone supplements that i could take to change my breast size only surgery would benefit which as we know is very expensive she also mentioned that i would not be able to get any help with surgery on the nhs. i was very dissapointed but also glad i had gone and found out this information instead of just wondering. i hope this information helps.
