How do you make your breasts bigger naturaly?

Breasts are made up of breast tissue, ducts, lobes (milk glands) and fat.

· Breast tissue only develops during puberty and cannot be increased.

· Fat retention from diets, pills, creams and herbs can increase breast size but will also increase the size of the rest of your body. Exercising or being active will burn fat and remove any increases.

· Ducts do not affect breast size.

· Lobes (milk glands) increase breast size during pregnancy and breast feeding and are not negatively affected by exercise. Grow Yours is a targeted exercise process that activates lobe development without need for pregnancy. It is guaranteed to work and can achieve results of 2 inches in 30 days.

Is it normal for a 13 year old to have her breast hurt during puberty?

How do you stimulate puberty?

Although there are steroids that could potentially 'jump-start' puberty, this is not advised and could lead to very serious medical implications later in life. These would be to be prescribed by your doctor, therefore this option is very unlikely. Other than some steroids/hormone medicines, there is no way to start puberty early. There is also no need to start it early! To be honest, although you may feel left out if your peers have already started to develop, it's not necessarily a good thing. Studies in males have shown that children starting puberty later have had deeper voices and grown taller than those that started at around 11/12. Just remember; do not be ashamed or embarrassed about your body and development. It is a perfectly natural process and will occur, sooner or later.

Can you start puberty at the age of 8?

Not normally. Normally puberty doesn't start in males until 11 or so, and sometimes as early as 8 or 9. If you have a 7 year old boy who is showing signs of puberty, then there is a decent chance there may be a problem. You should take him to his pediatrician or a pediatric endocrinologist to get it checked out.

Whilst it would be unusual and rare for a boy to start Puberty at the age of 7, it is not out of the question completely !

Although it is very unlikely to happen to your child, it is not impossible. If you see that your child is having growth spurts before the age of 9 for a girl or 11 for a boy seek medical advise from your family Doctor.

How old was the youngest person in the world to have puberty?

There is a medical conditon called "Precocious Puberty" which means unusually early puberty. Girls who begin puberty younger than 8 years of age and boys who begin puberty at ages younger than 9 are considered to be undergoing precocious puberty. Medical records are kept confidential for patients privacy and many incidents are probably never reported to doctors and theer would be no records at all. It would therefore be difficult to even guess at the "youngest ever boy to go through puberty" But as the condition has a specific name, is well recognised and any age under 9 for a boy is considered precocious. Then over the thousands of years of human existence and in all the countries of the world the youngest boy would be...anyones guess, but definitely under 9.
