I had a friend who had to have reduction surgery because of issues with her spine. I hope it isn't that bad.

I honestly don't want them at all. I would prefer to just be completely flat chested...all breasts do is get in the way and make clothing more difficult to wear. Plus, sleeping on my face is a huge hassle with my chest.

That herbal stuff is total quackery. Breasts are made of fat so the only herbs that will reduce them are ones that will reduce all your body fat equally ( probably by having an amphetamine effect ) - the old "you can't spot reduce" problem, which is sadly true.

I wish I could suggest something, but I can't, except maybe work out even more.

If only people could swap bodies - you could sell one with 16% fat and big boobs for an absolute fortune!! !

I've since looked at the ingredients. I forget exactly what the stuff is, but seems to be general stimulants.

Thanks for caring, I will try working out even more.

LOL! I'd trade my body in no problem and have a nicer, heavier, stronger one. With no more than size A boobs :D

You either have to deal with it or get a boob job. I would try to learn to like them as much as possible as some women would pay for what you have.


I plan to get surgery some day when I can afford it.

The fact that other women want big boobs doesn't mean my desires are less valid. I could say something similar to such women, eg 'Learn to like them, you at least can run and jump and not get sore back muscles.'

Anyone knows what kind of exercise routine I should try and do to lose enough fat to have smaller breasts? How long should I go walking/running/whatever for, and how regularly?

Yeah, I can relate. They are frustrating to say the least. Surgery is something i have seriously considered. Just not good with change so decided against it, at least until the back pain takes its toll.

To alleviate back pain you can do exercises to help strengthen your back muscles.

PLEASE!! If you ever get the money together to have a reduction, think REAL long and hard about it. My wife (34 E) and I watched a TV programme about breast reduction a couple of months ago and the post-op scaring is utterly horrendous, even a year of two post-op.

A close relative of mine underwent one when she was in her 20s and had a quick recovery and has not had any problems in the subsequent 20 years. She is also pleased with the results. I've also known people who have underwent mastectomies with similar results. Having quality doctors and care is also important. As well, some people heal differently than others, if you cut your self and the cut doesn't heal fast then that would be something to think about.

Shows on TV can sensationalize without giving fair representation. Think about all the media attention payed to Autistics?

People no doubt have had unexpected issues with this type of surgery but it is not necessary the most common results. It IS a very big decision (no pun intended) and not something that should be undertaken lightly (groan). Do your homework and speak with people who have had it done, find out if they have scarring, find out what doctor they attended, etc...

Yes I agree, physicaly if you can come to terms with your loss go ahead. The programme we watched was a fly on the wall type documentry which showed the pros and cons of this surgery. it was hosted by one of the U.K.s most highly regarded TV journo's and the bulk of the ops were carried out in Harley Street in London, home to (arguably) some of the worlds finest surgeons.

Trust me, for me it wouldn't be a loss. I don't like them, they make me feel physically ungainly and socially cheap...like just a sexual ornament.

Thanks for advice everyone :) I heal fast so scarring if done properly probably wouldn't be an issue.

I suppose you could use them to your benefit then ? Sorry that was uncalled for, as a mere man I will NEVER be able to comprehend what a woman has to put up with in her life.

Lol. I'll try and give you a perspective from a woman's eye view.

I got constantly harassed in school aged 12, had boys grope my breasts, and I got punished for fighting back or swearing at them telling them to stop.

I get to barely be able to cross a room if for some stupid masochistic reason I go to a social event. Every drunken ape in the room thinks it is okay to: put his hands on me, get aggressive if ordered to stop, surround me with 3 of his friends and refuse to let me move while making crude sexual gestures, threaten me with a chair for pushing him away...And apparently, I am being grossly unreasonable if I object to that behaviour. I have big breasts, therefore I am a sex object, and how dare I act as if I were anything else.

I get to feel endangered whenever I'm wearing summer clothes. I get to be screamed at in the street by leering young construction workers. I get to walk along in my own world happily thinking about my interests and have young men yell at me causing me to drop into fight or flight mode. I get to be seen as a horrid, humourless coil of wire for not wanting to be treated in a crude and intimidating manner.

I get the lovely privilege of feeling endangered in martial arts class because it's hot as f**k and I seem to have a mild electrolyte problem so I've chosen between overheating and fainting and wearing a short bra top, and the line of these disgusting tumors is visible, and I am very aware that I probably come across as asking for sexual attention. Oh, and I need a reinforced sports bra just to be able to go for a walk or run down the street without pulling and tearing at connective tissue.

Yup...I'm so, so lucky.

Sorry to sound excessively angry. It's not as if it's the worst issue in the world. I am privileged to live in a country where I can wear low cut pants, talk to men, commit adultery if I want and the worst punishment I'll suffer is social disapproval. (Like that is gonna penetrate my skin). I could do without them though :)

I feel so ashamed of the treatment you recieve, just because you have big breasts. These imbiciles need a good kicking, in my humble opinion. OK, so I am a male and if I didn't appreciate the female form I would consider myself in dereliction of my duty, BUT, on the other hand I would NEVER acost or harrass ANY woman, or think of her as a sex object. Yes there has to be a physical attraction, but after the initial "eye candy" thing is over what really floats my boat is "real world" inteligence.
Good luck, chin up, YOU are so much better than them !

According to this page on Wikipedia, testosterone can be used to reduce breasts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginal_b ... _treatment

I don't know where to get any, but can you somehow induce your adrenal glands to make more testosterone?
