Why is the breast not growing?

In adolescent girls, puberty begins at different ages. This process depends on the individual characteristics of the organism, heredity and climatic conditions of the area in which they live. For example, in hot countries, young girls start their menstrual cycle much earlier than those in colder climates.

Growth stages of the female breast

Until the age of 9-10, girls do not have breast growth yet. The growth of the mammary glands begins about a year before the appearance of the first menstruation - this fact is considered the first sign of puberty.
From 10 to 12 years old, the mammary glands begin to enlarge. During this period, the skin around the nipples darkens, and they themselves become a little "swollen".

From 12 to 13 years of age, the development of the mammary glands in volume is observed, the areola of the nipples begins to gradually protrude. The shape of the breast is gradually changing, turning into a kind of "cone".
From 13 to 15 years old, intensive breast growth occurs, the mammary gland takes on a rounded shape (the “cone on cone” shape disappears). During this period, girls are advised to wear bras, gradually changing them in accordance with the size of their breasts.
It is believed that from 15 to 18 years old, breasts can continue to grow, although most girls have no significant changes in size during this period. But in practice, cases have been recorded when the mammary glands of some of the fair sex continue to increase up to 25 years.

What affects breast size?

Many girls after 12 years of age ask the question: “Why doesn’t their breasts grow when, it would seem, it’s time?” This can be influenced by a very wide range of prerequisites. However, the exact cause in each specific case should be determined by a specialist (mammologist) based on a comprehensive examination of the body.

Heredity

If the girl's most ascending relatives had small breasts, then, most likely, her mammary glands will develop in the same way, and growth will be limited to a certain volume of the breast.

Chromosomes

It happens that at the time of conception, the chromosome set responsible for puberty does not develop in favor of female characteristics. This leads to the fact that in such girls, breasts may not develop enough or not at all, despite excellent genetic data.

Avitaminosis

If the body does not receive the required amount of vitamins during adolescence, then most of the processes proceed very slowly, or completely stop (and at the same time, breast growth in girls). This phenomenon is widespread in countries with a low standard of living, where, due to lack of opportunities, people eat poor-quality food.

Estrogen

This is a hormone responsible for the development of many processes in the body, including the growth of the mammary glands. If this hormone is not enough, then the breast will grow very slowly and may not reach the desired size.

If it is absent at all, then the processes of puberty in the body at a certain period simply will not start. This case requires a special approach and medical advice for possible abnormalities in the work of the adrenal glands, thyroid gland and appendages.

Sports and injuries

If a girl is actively involved in sports and has well-developed muscles around the mammary glands, this can limit the growth of her breasts. Therefore, one should selectively treat sports activities if the desire to have a magnificent bust prevails over the desire to obtain sports prospects and awards.

So, for example, because of the specific loads in swimmers, the shape of the chest is most often "flat", but the volleyball players, on the contrary, have a well-developed and toned chest.

At the same time, the mammary glands must be protected from all kinds of injuries, which can subsequently lead to their incorrect development.

Ecology

The quality of the environment (pollution of air, water, soil and other components) is directly related to the occurrence of various pathologies in the body in most people. The slowdown in the growth processes of the mammary glands in girls during puberty is no exception.

What factors contribute to the development of mammary glands during adolescence?

If it happens that a teenager at the age of 13-14 has not started to grow breasts, you should consult a doctor and undergo an examination that will help find the reasons. After the doctor draws the appropriate conclusions and prescribes treatment, it will be very desirable for the girl to take additional measures:

start eating right;
do exercises daily to strengthen the muscles of the chest.
choose high-quality and suitable underwear.

Food should be saturated with all groups of vitamins. Fresh fruits and vegetables must be added to the daily diet (apricots, carrots and cabbage are required). It is also advisable to drink decoctions of rosemary and sage daily (half a glass 2 times a day).

Physical exercise

If possible, it is better to go to a fitness trainer for the first time, who will select the right exercises. In the absence of such an opportunity, in the usual morning exercises, you need to include such exercises as a "ball" (a small children's ball is clamped with two hands at chest level and held in this position for 10 seconds) and push-ups from the wall.

Underwear

For both adolescents and adult women, it is necessary to select and wear underwear that is exactly the right size (the underwear should support the breasts well without squeezing the chest). It is desirable that it be made from high quality natural materials.

How can an adult woman increase her breast volume?

Unfortunately, nature does not endow everyone with curvaceous forms and not every woman can boast of an impressive breast size. However, you should not despair - the owners of a small bust should understand that they are no worse than other women, and you can always change the situation in your favor.

Lingerie with push-up

For psychological comfort, a lady with a small size of mammary glands can choose such underwear that would visually increase the size of her breasts. This will help her feel more feminine and seductive, being in a man's company.

Nutrition

To maintain the elasticity and shape of the breast, a transition to healthy fortified food is required. It is advisable to abandon all diets, exclude poor-quality food and convenience foods.

Sport

Physical activity does not contribute to breast enlargement, but it makes it fit and gives the bust a more beautiful shape. It should be remembered that it is not necessary to overstrain the pectoral muscles in order to avoid the opposite effect.

The most effective exercises that help keep your breasts in good shape and do not require the use of special equipment are presented in the video:

Cosmetical tools

Small breasts can increase slightly in size if the blood circulation in them is increased. This will allow the mammary glands to be enriched with oxygen and nutrients to the fullest.

A similar effect is given by modern lotions and creams for breast growth, but the result from such drugs appears after a certain time. However, when making a choice in favor of such funds, it should be remembered that it is worth purchasing only proven goods, since most of the funds on sale today are ineffective fakes.

Massagers

Today there are many modern devices that help increase breast growth. These massagers create a vacuum in the chest area, which promotes blood flow and oxygenation of the cells of the pectoral muscles and mammary glands. The effect of using such devices is obvious, provided that the manipulations with them are regular.

However, procedures for carrying out such a massage are best obtained in specialized salons. But buying cheap massagers for home use is not worth it - they give a short-term effect, after which the general condition of the breast worsens: the skin loses its elasticity, and the bust - volume and fullness, in general.

How to maintain breast size and shape during pregnancy and after childbirth?

Everyone knows that during pregnancy, the breast increases up to several sizes. Such changes are the desired effect for those with small breasts, but, unfortunately, they are also fraught with the formation of stretch marks and loss of bust shape in the future.

Daily massage

Massaging your breasts daily using aromatic oils (lavender oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, carrot seed oil, geranium oil, etc.) will help prevent stretch marks. Massage should be started from 2-3 weeks of pregnancy and performed until the end of breastfeeding.

Cold and hot shower

A contrast shower and the application of special products that prevent stretch marks and moisturize the skin will make the skin in the chest area more elastic and elastic. Care products should be selected taking into account the presence of antioxidants (substances that prevent premature skin aging) in their composition.

Exercises

Regular exercise aimed at strengthening the muscles of the breasts during pregnancy and after childbirth will help to avoid sagging and loss of shape during the period when the volumes "come off" and small breasts return.

An approximate complex for home execution is shown in the picture below:

Air baths

Air baths for the chest should be arranged 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes. To do this, you need to undress to the waist and lie down, allowing the skin to "breathe".

Lingerie selection

Lingerie during pregnancy should be chosen without "underwires", as such bras prevent the outflow of lymph from the mammary glands. Better to give preference to special busts for pregnant women, which are usually made of natural material and have wide shoulder straps.

Vitamin supplement

In addition to the diet recommended by doctors, external use of vitamin complexes for the breast is possible. For example, you can buy Aevit capsules, which contain oily essence inside. Periodic treatment with this composition of the mammary glands will allow breast cells to directly absorb the necessary vitamins and maintain a healthy-looking skin.
