female hormones-estrogen

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 24; As a child i had ashma think i grew out of it ; Relevant drugs:was on birth control but not at the moment ) on Wed 01, Oct 2008 06:30pm
	i did some research on the female hormones and found out there are lots of benefits. I want to take them in order to make my breast bigger. On both sides of my family the females all have average to big sized breast and that i think i have been robbed. Growing up i never ate properly because of just not having much money.I am now 24yrs old im active i eat ok i dont smoke or drink and i think this is something i need to do to feel mre womenly and i want to try everything as possile before i consider surgery :( what do you think about this idea?

	Answer by Dr. Pankaj Khater (doctor) on Fri 28, Aug 2009 10:41pm: Yes……estrogen pills will definitely cause breast size enhancement as estrogen causes fluid retention in the breasts causing effect on breast tissue. But there are some safety concerns in that case. Estrogen given on its own stimulates the growth of tissue in the uterus and is believed to promote uterine cancer. To combat this, a combination pill of oestrogen-progesterone is better as progesterone combats many of estrogen’s ill effects. Please consult a doc before starting any medication.

I am considering the surgery myself when I save up enough money. I hope to have breasts like hers by the time I'm 30! Just a tip....
