Hi i’am27, I have a boy who is nearly four. I’ve develop under arm breast tissue since my baby was born. It’s quite big and ugly when I wear an under wire bra the wire touches my under arm breast and it is quite painful. I’ve spoke to doctors about it and they says the only option is to have surgery. I just want to know if there is any other option to get rid of it.
hi im 14 nearly 15 and my breasts have been the same size for 3 years.
Are they stopped growing? They are only 32A which is smaller than all my friends.
But how can i stop them hurting so much befor and during my period?
i'm 13 and have rather large boobs for my age being 36 DD. I feel that my boobs are quite saggy and odd shaped. My nipples don't point upwards like they're supposed to and i have one breast a whole size bigger than the other. Is there anything i can do to stop my boobs from becoming even more saggy?
I'm 17 and a couple of years ago i started growing hair on my breast and it's really dark and obvious and it makes me really self consious. I have quite a lot of hair over the rest of my body aswell along with irregular periods and acne, could I have Polycystic ovaries?
I have just turned 14 and started my periods a couple of days ago. I hate my body as i am really tall and have hardly any boobs at all. When i was younger a doctor told me i hade "pigeons chest" and my ribs stick out more on the right side which makes my boob face the wrong way and looks smaller. It is soo embaressing. And on top of that i have had really bad eczema the whole of my life. Is there anything you can do about pigeon chest because i HATE it! ??
im 15, flat chested and havent started my periods yet. im underweight even though i eat alot. its just a fast metabolism. if this is just my digestive system, how comes im the only person in my year group thats flat chested. i have pubic hair and armpit hair so why dont i have boobs yet? i feel so self-consious and it really gets me down! :(
