Question 1

what is different between breast buds and breasts?

Accepted Answer

Same: Breast buds are just early breast tissue.  If biopsied and put under the microscope you could not tell them appart.

Question 2

im 18 and still have a breast bud normal?

Accepted Answer

You may have : Delayed development. Please have your physician check it out. Take care.

Question 3

how long does it take for girls to get breast after breast bud?

Accepted Answer

Breast development: At the start of puberty for girls, it takes about one to two years from the breast-bud time to get fully developed breasts.

Question 4

my son will be 17.he is lean and very active.his left breast bud has been inlarged for over almost 3 yrs.it has gotten bigger.why/when will it go away?

Accepted Answer

May be a problem: Regular pubertal onset gynecomastia usually fades within the first year.Persistence after 3 years is likely to improve only with surgery. I would check with your pcp about local options & seek out a consultation. Removal of residual breast tissue and any supportive fat cells is usually done by a plastic surgeon.

Question 5

my son is 7 and has a small lump under his one nipple - seems like a breast bud, is this common in boys?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, this is common. As boys develop, they actually usually produce a bit of estrogen before they begin to produce testosterone. The estrogen may cause slight development of breast buds. These usually last a year or two, then disappear once testosterone production predominates. Don't worry - everyone, male and female, have some breast tissue.

Question 6

my 6 year old daughter (turning 7 in june) has started developing what feels like a breast bud under her right nipple. is this not too soon?could there be other factors influencing this hormonal change at this age?

Accepted Answer

: Girls mature at different ages I different countries.  I would discuss with a local Dr who cares for local folks like your family.

Question 7

i am experiencing  abnormal vaginal discharge (quality: itchiness, cheesy discharge)  and breast bud. i also have small bumps on my nipples.

Accepted Answer

Need to see GYN MD: You need to see a GYN MD or Planned Parenthood clinic as you may have a vaginal infection and the health service team can identify the bumps on your nipples.

Question 8

65yo male patient presented with 1 month history of rt gynaecomastia with a tender lump under the areola which i think could be a breast bud. i organized bloods including hormone tests and a breast uss. what should i do if these come back normal?

Accepted Answer

Well: If things are normal that is somewhat reassuring but if the lump is still there you will have a better idea of what this issue is after the sono. At that point the next step would be a biopsy.

Question 9

do breast buds go away?

Accepted Answer

Missing context: You get the most from this site if you provide background information before you ask a question. Is this about a male or a female ? The answer is quite different for both. You are welcome to start over.

Question 10

how long for breast buds to grow into bosooms?

Accepted Answer

Breast growth: From the start to the final result can take several years.  No hurry.  You can start with a sports/training bra and keep it 2 yrs or need new ones in 6 months.  Everyone develops at their own pace.
