Has sex boosted my boobs?

Q

Can regular lovemaking cause your breasts to grow? Mine are definitely much bigger since my new fella moved in!

Breasts are sensitive to hormone changes, but it’s unlikely that sex would make a difference to your size.

The first thing you should do is a pregnancy test, as a rise in oestrogen often causes bigger boobs soon after you fall pregnant.

Maybe your new relationship means you’ve recently started the contraceptive pill – oestrogen in the Pill can mean swollen or tender boobs.

Another possibility is that you’ve put on weight and this has included your breasts.

If just one breast is swollen or you have other symptoms, such as a lump, see your GP.
