Can Birth Control Pills affect Breast Size??


Birth control pills may increase breast size because they contain the hormones estrogen and progestin. However, the effect is usually temporary and the breasts may return to their original size over time. Birth control can make your boobs grow because it can cause water retention in your breasts. The two primary hormones present in most types of birth control pill are:

  • Estrogen, (a female sex hormone)

  • Progestin, (a synthetic version of progesterone, which is another female sex hormone)

The body produces estrogen and progesterone. During the menstrual cycle, levels fluctuate, and this can cause a change in breast tissue.

Estrogen is also the hormone primarily responsible for the development of breasts during puberty. When a person starts taking the birth control pill, their levels of these hormones rise, and this can result in an increase in breast size. This can make the breasts feel engorged.
