Underdevelopment of the mammary glands

Underdevelopment of the mammary glands is a condition where the breasts do not develop normally, resulting in a smaller than average size. It can be present from birth or develop later in life due to hormonal changes. Signs and symptoms can include small, underdeveloped breasts, asymmetry, and lack of breast tissue. In some cases, there may be a lack of nipple and areolar development. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of the condition.
