A member asked:
Why is my breast not developing? shoud i use hormones like pm pills? it's not genetics cus both my mom and aunts have b-c. any home remedies?

Genetics can: influence the size of breasts, but other causes can contribute. Malnutrition (not getting enough calories) and a low body fat can cause breast underdevelopment. You need to discuss this with your doctor as hormonal testing may need to be done...there may be other signs of hormone deficiency. If so, hormone treatment likely to be helpful. I don't believe there are reliably effective home remedies.
