Can anyone explain what is happening when people experience breast growth?
The excess estrogen part seems obvious: Men with gynecomastia (or somewhere on the spectrum) can experience breast enlargement. And women who take birth control can get larger breasts- again, I'm assuming this is from the estrogen. And women pre-menstrually when estrogen is rising can experience larger breasts at certain times of the month.
But can balancing out the hormones so that someone is no longer estrogen dominant also increase breast size? I've heard stories of women who experience breast enlargement when re-feeding or just when balancing hormones (getting estrogen under control). So what is happening in this scenario? Certainly, if a woman is underweight or simply was not eating enough calories for a long time, and is re-feeding to gain weight, then breasts would be expected to grow, along with he rest of the body. But it seems that women are reporting breast growth even when the rest of their body is not getting proportionately larger.
So having more progesterone in the body also can produce larger breasts...??
Just curious about this and wonder if anyone can shed some light.
