Both herbs and hormones are popular options for male breast enlargement. Both methods are highly effective – but different in the way they work. Before choosing which one to go with, it’ll be helpful to get to know a little about the pros and cons of each.
Hormones for Male Breast Enlargement
Pharmaceutical hormones are a popular choice for men looking to make the male to female transition. These synthetic hormones are popular since they’re much more potent than herbs and affect dramatic bodily changes. In fact, if started early enough, a biological male can completely avoid masculine development during puberty. 
Synthetic hormones bring about a wide array of changes. Apart from breast development, you’ll also experience:
- Redistribution of body fat
- Thinner body hair
- Thickening of hair on the head
- Softer skin
- Reduced muscle development
- Changes in body odor and sweat production
- Decreased penis size
You might even experience shifts in mood and personality.
These hormones are certainly effective in a number of ways, which is the draw for most men, but you should also be aware of some of their risks.
A few of the health risks associated with taking synthetic female hormones are relatively mild, such as nausea, vomiting, and weight gain but others are much more severe:
- Hypothyroidism
- Risk of blood clots/deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Increased potential for gall bladder disease
- Increased potential for liver/breast cancer
Before going the route of hormone therapy, you need to ask yourself whether the more severe risks are worth it, especially if it is just for bigger breasts. Hormone therapy might be necessary if you want to make the full male to female transition, but when it comes to developing larger breasts, there are much safer methods of doing so.
Speaking of which, that brings us to another alternative for male breast enlargement…
Herbs for Male Breast Enlargement
The most well-known breast enhancement herbs are famous for their high estrogen content, but you should know that those aren’t the only herbs important in breast enlargement.
The phytoestrogenic herbs, of course, play a big role – even the main role – in helping you develop breasts. But without the supporting help of other herbs, the estrogen-filled breast enhancing herbs might not be as effective.
Herbs like saw palmetto are anti-androgens and play a big part in herbal breast enhancement for men. This herb blocks your body from converting testosterone into a more powerful form of testosterone. The intervention helps your phytoestrogenic herbs have more impact on your body’s ability to grow breasts.
Other herbs, like dong quai, act as hormone balancing agents within your body and still others, like dandelion root, help to cleanse your body of estrogen-receptor-blocking toxins so that the estrogens you take can be most effective.
A great advantage of using herbs for male breast enlargement is that it is a 100% natural method of breast growth. These natural breast enhancing herbs have been used for hundreds of years by people of various cultures around the globe for medicinal, beauty, and breast enhancing purposes.
Another advantage is that you can experiment with the herbs that work best for you and pick and choose them as you begin to see results. You can up the dosage for the herbs you’re seeing great growth with and drop the ones that are giving you headaches. The real beauty of using a lot of these herbs is that you’ll find that they provide a lot of secondary benefits other than breast growth. Breast enhancing herbs like pueraria mirifica have been shown to strengthen your hair and nails while softening the skin.
The drawback of using herbs for male breast enlargement is that herbs – being 100% natural – don’t work as quickly and as powerfully as hormones do. They require time, but with time and patience, you’ll see dramatic results in your breast growth – and you’ll the satisfaction that you did it safely and naturally.
Herbs and hormones are both popular methods of male breast enlargement and which one you choose depends entirely on your own goals. If you’re looking to make a full male to female transition, you should consult a doctor for hormone replacement therapy.
But if you’re not sure you want to make the full transition or just don’t want the risk of hormones, then herbs are a great alternative.
