The most questions about breast size increase after marriage!
Our health expert gynaecologist Dr Lovleena Nadir shares her knowledge giving us an insight on whether breast size increase after marriage is for real.
Can a woman’s breast size alter once developed fully?
Yes, but it’s only during pregnancy that breast undergoes changes. This happens in preparation for lactation. These breast changes that occur in pregnancy are because of hormonal changes.
What are the changes that a woman may observe during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, there is a definite growth and increase in size of the breasts. You will notice that their tenderness increases. Also, the nipples and the skin around them (areola) darken.
Increased blood supply to breasts may appear as darkened veins and small tubercles or raised bumps appear on the surface of the areola. Even the nipples may grow larger.
Does breast size increase after marriage?

So there you have it, ladies! Another myth gets 'bust'ed.
