What causes women's breasts to grow larger?

Pursuing full breasts is the dream of every woman, but if a woman's breasts become larger and larger, this is called gigantic breast disease. Gigantic breast disease poses a serious threat to women's breast health. Severe cases can cause breast diseases and also affect normal life. So many women want to know why women's breasts become larger? The following is an introduction so you can have a comprehensive understanding.

1. Medication

Some case reports suggest that taking or exposure to certain drugs may also cause breast hypertrophy, such as penicillinamine, cyclosporine, propylthiocyanate, protease inhibitors, glucocorticoids, etc.

2. Genetics

Some patients with adolescent breast hypertrophy have a family genetic tendency.

3. Obesity

Studies have shown that for patients with breast hypertrophy whose body mass index is >30kg/m, excessive breast growth is related to the patient's weight. Through weight control, the volume of enlarged breasts in some patients can be reduced to a certain extent. In patients with a body mass index < 30 kg/m, there was no correlation between breast volume and body weight.

4. Hormone fluctuations during pregnancy

During pregnancy, breast tissue becomes highly responsive to prolactin and progesterone, and pregnancy-related breast hypertrophy may be related to hormonal fluctuations in the body.

Surgery

Conservative treatment and drug therapy have limited effects. Breast reduction surgery, as a fundamental treatment for breast hypertrophy, can effectively relieve the patient's physical and psychological stress. Postoperative satisfaction is high and it is the first-line treatment option for breast hypertrophy. There are many surgical methods for breast reduction surgery, the more classic ones include inverted T-shaped incision breast reduction plastic surgery, vertical incision upper pedicle breast reduction plastic surgery, circumareola incision central pedicle breast reduction plastic surgery, L-shaped incision breast reduction plastic surgery, etc.

In addition to the physical symptoms, breast hyperplasia also has an important impact on psychological and social activities. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended for patients with breast hypertrophy, especially when accompanied by clinical symptoms.

What is the reason for female breast enlargement? First of all, it is related to many reasons, such as obesity, drugs, genetics, and hormone fluctuations during pregnancy. So no matter what the reason is for the enlargement of female breasts, it must be treated with surgery or other methods as soon as possible to prevent the breasts from further enlarging and affecting breast health.
