No breast growth in puberty

Hi. I'm a 20 year old girl and have not yet developed breasts unfortunately :frown:

.. when I started puberty, and throughout it, I had eating problems and my nutrition was terrible. Could this have stopped my breast growth?

I literally, have no breasts, just like a man. I am not even a size AA. All the women in both my families (mothers and fathers) are on average B-C breast size. This problem of mine has really been taking it's toll on me..

If I went to a doctor would this problem, do you think they would take me seriously? I think I may have low oestrogen levels but I am not sure though. Anyone have any idea if the doctor would tell me to have hormone treatments (like transsexuals) or just tell me to get implants if I'm really unhappy? Sorry I am asking these questions but I don't want to contact a doctor about this until I am half-convinced they may take me seriously :frown:

Thankyou

Go to your doctor. They will more than likely discuss various hormone treatments with you.

Its a real problem and they will treat it as such.

I am unsure as to what the 'finished article' may be size wise, but don't let that get you down. Small breasts are cute. Although men always bang on about 'big tits' its actually fairly low on the list of priorities.

Book a GP appointment today.

A doctor will definitely take you seriously! Especially when you make it clear how concerned YOU are about it.

Doctors are not, not going to take you serious, if they were to laugh or just fob you off, that would be extremely un-professional.
There is bound to be various ways available to help you out, so just go and see the Doctor, and hopefully they will have quite a few options open to you.

If all goes well with your GP, as a last resort you can have 'Plastics' treatment.

Just wondering if there's any chance you are developing really like because of the disorders? You may still grow, you know :hugs:

Yes of course they will take you seriously! You have a legitimate concern, and they'll do all they can. If all else fails, and you decide to go down the implants route, please don't feel bad about it. All that matters is that it makes you happy.
