❌ Debunking the Top 3 Myths
“Large breasts = high estrogen”
No. Many women with large breasts have normal or even low estrogen. Excess estrogen usually shows up as heavy periods, fibroids, or mood swings—not breast size.
“Small breasts = low fertility or weak hormones”
False. Fertility depends on ovulation, egg quality, and reproductive anatomy—not cup size. Women with A-cups can have perfect hormone balance and healthy pregnancies.
“Breast changes = hormonal imbalance”
Not necessarily. Breasts naturally swell before your period due to water retention. Slight asymmetry? Normal. Tenderness? Common. Only persistent pain, lumps, or nipple discharge need medical evaluation.
