Small Breast: Causes & Treatment at Chennai

Small Breast & Treatment

What is small breast: When the size of breast in girls is less than 36” which is considered ideal, is termed as small breast.( also known as micro-mastia).

How Normal Breast develops: All girls have same size of breast tissue in childhood. At the time of puberty i.e. beginning of sexual development female hormone estradiol, adrenal hormone androstenidione, 17-oh Progesterone, DHEAS, Growth hormone, LH, FSH, increases & SHBG decreases, Thyroid Hormone also plays the role. These hormones changes lead to increased concentration of Free Testosterone, DHT & some more hormones. These hormones then act on the various sensors (called receptors) in the breast tissue. After the interaction of hormones & receptors certain changes occurs in the functioning of cells of breast tissue so that breast cells starts growing in thickness & size & more & more fat starts depositing in the breast . Thus breast size gradually starts increasing. Simultaneously it also increases the blood supply to breast tissue leading to more availability of growth factors to the breast tissue resulting in faster growth of breast tissue. These hormones & growth factors are in high concentration during peak of secondary sexual characters development i. e. puberty leading to persistent stimulation of breast tissue for next two to three years i. e. up to completion of sexual development. Thus in normal girls in two to three years full breast develop. 

Causes of Small Breast:  In girls the small breast can be due to following causes:

1) Female sex hormones deficiency

2) Second cause for small breast is resistance of breast tissue to normal level of female hormone in the body.

As breast size increases in size patient's confidence increases and feeling of well-being is achieved.
