Breast enlargement is one of the persistent obsessions of our modern, advanced-medicine high-tech age. Women are very aware of any, visible or not, flaws they may have in this area. And since breast implants have long fallen out of grace, natural enhancement methods have become very popular. Women, in particular, after their body has undergone a considerable change (childbirth, loss of weight, or removal of implants, among others) look for an aesthetic and natural solution.

Many women are opting for herbal pills, mistakenly taking their being “herbal” for evidence they are harmless in all cases. Moreover, some of the media – TV, online and women magazines – advertising this method, do not list some potential risks of their usage. The effect of these pills does exist; they can actually produce noticeable results. The reason lies with the herbs contained in the pill, which affect the body like estrogen does. For the same reason birth-control pills are also considered to enhance the bust size, since they introduce more estrogen into the body. The bottom line here is that women, choosing this form of breast enhancement, should consult with a medical practitioner. Full examination is recommended before undergoing treatment.

It is claimed that because of the estrogen-like effects, the pills are a suspect for the cause of uterine cancer. High levels of the hormone usually fuels tissue growth in the uterus, which might lead to cancer. For this reason, the intake of birth control or hormonal medications is accompanied by progesterone to compensate for these effects of the estrogen. As for breast enhancement pills, they have not been proven to fuel the growth of tissue in the uterus, but there might be a correlation.

There is no definite information on whether the pills somehow influence fertility, and if their use might interfere negatively with birth control. Women are advised to do some research on their chosen breast enhancement pills and if comments and reviews are mostly negative – to opt for another brand.
