Genetics: This is the primary factor. Your DNA determines the basic structure and tissue volume.
Body Fat: The breast consists of both glandular and adipose (fat) tissue. Therefore, changes in overall body weight often lead to changes in breast size.
Hormonal Changes: Puberty, pregnancy, the menstrual cycle, and menopause are all stages that cause fluctuations in hormones (such as estrogen and progesterone), which affect size and shape.
Age: Over time, skin loses its elasticity, and the density of breast tissue changes.Correcting Some MisconceptionsThere are many myths circulating online similar to what the image implies. Here are the facts:
Milk Production:
There is no relationship between breast size and the ability to produce milk or breastfeed successfully. Milk is produced in the glandular tissue, not the fatty tissue.
Health: Aside from specific medical conditions, neither small nor large breasts are considered “healthier” than the other.
Sensation: Size does not determine sensitivity; the density of nerve endings varies from person to person regardless of size.
