Group - Virginal breast hypertrophy

Virginal breast hypertrophy (VBH) is the common name for the medical condition juvenile macromastia and juvenile gigantomastia. This condition causes a woman's breasts to grow rapidly to an excessive weight during puberty. Breast hypertrophy in pregnancy is rare. The main symptoms of VBH are red, itchy lesions and pain in the breasts. Generally, a woman is diagnosed with VBH when her breasts grow rapidly and achieve great weight soon after the her first menstrual period. Some doctors suggest that breast development (thelarche) occurs before menstrual onset (menarche). Some women with VBH experience breast growth at a constant rate for several years, but the breasts overdevelop from normal and healthy breasts. And others experience minimal or negligible breast growth before their breasts grow rapidly in a short period of time. This causes great physical discomfort.
