Why is it that one breast is bigger than the other?

Many women will find that one of their breasts is larger than the other. This problem may be caused by congenital factors or improper breastfeeding methods during the lactation period. If there are other abnormal problems, you must seek medical attention.

Congenital factors.

During embryonic development, if one breast develops abnormally, the two breasts will be obviously asymmetrical during puberty, and the underdeveloped side will be significantly smaller than the healthy side. Generally speaking, this situation will not affect marriage, childbirth and feeding, but it will have a certain impact on the unique beauty of women's curves. Therefore, after the breasts are fully developed during adolescence, a breast augmentation surgery with implants can be performed at an appropriate time to make the originally flat breast as full as the other, thus restoring the feminine charm and confidence.

Acquired factors.

It usually occurs in multiparous women. When breastfeeding, mothers are often accustomed to holding their babies on one side to breastfeed, which makes the breasts on both sides have unequal milkfeeding opportunities. This causes the breast with more milkfeeding opportunities to atrophy and degenerate more easily and become smaller after weaning. This situation generally does not cause any discomfort and will not affect your life. When correcting, you can exercise the pectoral muscles on the smaller breast and massage the smaller breast. If necessary, you can also use external breast enhancement drugs or equipment.

Sudden changes in breast size should be taken seriously

If the breasts were roughly symmetrical in the past, but recently asymmetry has appeared, such as enlargement of one breast, change in skin color or small depressions in one breast, retraction or elevation of one nipple, sometimes accompanied by symptoms and signs such as pain, itching, and nipple watering, special attention should be paid. If this happens, you should see a doctor immediately for relevant examinations to detect possible lesions as early as possible.
