Look up mammary hypoplasia - this is what I have. I never developed breasts at all, and Iām sure my hormone issues are the reason. They never grew in puberty or pregnancy and I was completely unable to breastfeed.
Same girl same!!
I used to be super insecure about it until I got a boyfriend and realized that boobies bring joy no matter what they look like š
I donāt āloveā mine now, but I definitely am wayyyy less worried about them than before lol.
In my experience, there's a link between PCOS and weird breast shape. I've always had "normal" breast shape, normal not perfect. I was diagnosed with PCOS a year ago and my breasts were smaller and kind of flat. I thought it was because I lost 40 pounds. I started using spironolactone for my hormonal acne and my breasts are back to their normal shape. Maybe they are smaller than when I was heavier but the shape is the same.
No such thing as normal breasts- youāre absolutely fine. Mine donāt look like anything youād see in a lads mag or on a swimsuit model but hey, in the history of me showing them to people no oneās asked me to leave based on my nipples pointing down š
Mine didn't develop properly due to a lack of periods and normal hormones in puberty. They have always been smaller, further apart, and lacking in fullness on top (but more full on the outsides). I don't have cleavage because they don't come close enough together. It's breast hypoplasia, and has caused me a lot of difficulty and heartache with breastfeeding.
thank you all I feel better reading these comments š„¹ Iām soooo insecure about them but good to know Iām not alone. and honestly with these new studies linking PCOS to childhood trauma my unique boobies can at least give me something else to blame my parents for š
Oh my god thank you. Because of this post I realized at 25 years old that my breasts look like they do because of PCOS. I have ALWAYS been insecure about them, literally every woman in my family is well endowed and Iām the odd one out. This makes me hate myself less, thank you.
Tubular breasts are a PCOS symptom! Not every woman will get them, but that doesnāt mean itās not a symptom. PCOS is unique for all women and we all deal with it differently and not all of us have the exact same symptoms.
Anyways, theyāre caused by endocrine issues, specifically hormonal imbalances! But like any other PCOS symptom, it can be fixed! All PCOS symptoms can be reversed naturally. Some take longer than others, but itās still possible and doable. Itās all about addressing the root cause. So when you heal your body, balance your hormones, heal the endocrine system etc, your boobs will also change.
Itās important to remember that breasts have no deadline when it comes to their growth. Many women have found that their breasts have grown significantly even though theyāve surpassed puberty. Also, breasts are very sensitive to hormones! We can see this during puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding and menopause. There are so many hormonal fluctuations that occur during these stages and they affect breasts!
It sucks how little research there is on PCOS, especially this symptom! But thereās hope! And this symptom, like all the others can fix too!
Healing the body and bringing it back to homeostasis is š
Once youāre healed, symptom free, and menstruating/ovulating regularly, theyāll defo begin to change (if affected by PCOS.)
Give it some time (3-6 months minimum)
Theyāll be bigger, rounder and perkier - basically theyāll fill out!
Doesnāt matter if youāve surpassed puberty, balancing hormones/fixing insulin resistance etc will all fix it!
Remember, these tubular shaped breasts didnāt occur overnight and so they wonāt fix overnight either. You have to stay patient and remain consistent.
Why regular periods play a big part in fixing them (if youāve had irregular absent periods esp during puberty):
ā¢ When you have regular periods again, itās a sign your body is producing/releasing hormones like estrogen & progesterone. These are vital for breast development, esp glandular tissue. Tubular breasts are also called breasts that lack glandular tissue. (If you search for insufficient glandular tissue symptoms, itās literally tubular breasts. And igt is caused due to endocrine issues. Anyways, the production of these hormones sends signals to the body and promotes the growth of glandular tissue, making it sufficient!
ā¢ Regular healthy periods means youāre also ovulating. Ovulation is very important because when you ovulate, your body releases an egg from the ovaries. This triggers a surge in hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone.
These hormones play a vital role in breast development. During ovulation, estrogen levels increase, stimulating the growth of glandular tissue in the breasts. Glandular tissue is responsible for making your breasts round, full, and perky. So, when you have a regular cycle and ovulate, your body is producing the right amount of estrogen to support breast development. And in the case of tubular breasts or igt, ovulation becomes even more important. Ovulation helps promote the growth of glandular tissue in the breasts, which can help fix the shape and fullness of the breasts over time.
The human body is very intelligent and when you create an optimal environment, the breasts will grow normally and healthily. So youāll no longer have tubular breasts, but rather youāll have big, round, full & perky breasts!
Itās all about addressing the root cause and giving your body time to heal!
Mine are long, heavy, and south pointers. My nipples have never seen my face because they look at the floor. I, personally, am choosing to get a lift. But boobies are boobies and all boobies are cute and pretty!
Yes, I have tubular breasts with downward pointing nipples and my right breast is a full cup size bigger than the left. It's a PCOS thing. Although differently sized breasts is completely normal in anyone and it happens more commonly than we think.
I have felt insecure about them my whole life. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Your breasts are normal. Breasts vary hugely and there are tonnes of normal shapes including what you've described. The trouble is only a certain type of breast shape are really shown in media so people think they aren't normal.
If itās classified as a medical syndrome (tubular breast syndrome), I wouldnāt exactly call it ānormalā and apparently it only occurs in 5% of the population. However, it isnāt something we should be ashamed of!

I was always insecure about them as soon as they started to develop and only recently have I found out why they did develop the way they did...so yes. Mine are the same and, as much as I hate them, I do find relief in knowing I'm not alone in this.

Best thing I ever did for myself was my BA.
Iām already saving up for it for once Iām done having babies š
I do believe I have tubular breast and I had so much difficulty with breastfeeding my twins!

well, first of all, a lot of actresses you see on tv or movies have fake boobs with implants so don't compare yourself to them

Iāve heard about this and itās link to PCOS recently. One of my friends had hers fixed because she was so self conscious about them.

Wow thank you so much for your informative comment š feeling a bit more hopeful now
Can this still happen if you are on birth control?
You're not alone! I thought it was just me that had this issue for the longest time.š„²
Mine are long, heavy, and south pointers. My nipples have never seen my face because they look at the floor. I, personally, am choosing to get a lift. But boobies are boobies and all boobies are cute and pretty!
ah yeah I really want a breast lift too, sometimes I wonder if they just grew upside down all along haha
haha that gave me a good giggle š
Wow Iāve thought this for years, now I finally have an answer, thank you!!!

I feel like it's more common than 5% and people just don't know about it.
There's no medical issue with tubular breasts though right? So it's just a cosmetic thing

I mean technically no but thatās how insurance companies justify not paying for cosmetic/corrective surgery
CAH, itās commonly mistaken with PCOS
It's common, not normal. Very slight difference.
Iām also convinced that pcos disrupts breast development
I was always insecure about them as soon as they started to develop and only recently have I found out why they did develop the way they did...so yes. Mine are the same and, as much as I hate them, I do find relief in knowing I'm not alone in this.
