    Glossary Breast Development

    process where mammary glands form and mature in females

    Breast development, also known as mammogenesis, is the process by which the mammary glands form and mature, typically occurring in stages throughout a female's life. This process begins in utero, continues through puberty with the influence of hormones like estrogen and progesterone, and further changes occur during pregnancy and lactation. Understanding this process is crucial for both medical professionals and individuals monitoring normal growth patterns or diagnosing potential issues.
