Breast Enlargement from Birth Control Pills

Breast enlargement from birth control pills is a common side effect of these prescription medications. Proper use of birth control pills makes a woman almost completely immune to becoming pregnant and also has several other benefits including an increase in breast size and fullness. While going on birth control pills simply to increase breast size is not advised, it is a consideration for women who want to enjoy the diverse benefits offered by the pill and are also considering non-surgical methods to enlarge their breasts.

Reasons for Breast Enlargement from Birth Control Pills

Birth control pills (THE PILL) contain the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are responsible for breast development. Increasing the amount of these hormones in a woman�s body will cause a variety of effects including stimulating the breast tissue to grow. While going on the pill will not offer results close to breast augmentation surgery, it can provide a half cup to full cup size increase in some woman. For women with smaller breasts, this can make a big difference in their lives.

Other Benefits of Birth Control Pills

Breast enlargement using birth control pills is not the only benefit offered by oral contraceptives. Other common beneficial health effects of regular and proper pill use include:

* Benefits HDL and LDL cholesterol levels.
* Reduced chance of developing ovarian and endometrial cancer.
* Reduces chance of developing painful arthritis.
* Improves skin tone and reduces acne occurrence.
* Reduces risk of ovarian cysts.
* Helps prevent bone density loss in women 30+
* Reduces emotional effects of PMS and menstruation.
* Builds resistance to anemia.
* Reduces future chances for an ectopic pregnancy.
* Reduces chance of developing pelvis inflammatory disease (PID)
* Decreased menstrual activity and pain. Some pills even prevent menstruation altogether or allow it only a few times a year.

Breast Enlargement from Birth Control Pills Bottom Line

Going on the pill is a choice that must be weighed in a woman�s mind. Not every side effect of oral contraceptives is positive. The pill is also not a protection against STD�s and safe sex should go far beyond birth control practices. For women who are thinking that a small to moderate breast size increase would be nice AND who also want to enjoy the added benefits of birth control pills, I highly recommend talking to your doctor about obtaining a prescription. There are more pill options than ever before and many pills might offer you unique solutions to other problematic conditions, such as acne or moodiness. Here is some additional information on non-surgical breast enlargement techniques.
