Can anorexia stunt your growth?

Question

When I was younger when I was in puberity and a little older than that etc. I sufferd from Anorexia! I have overcome that problem in my life but now I am self councious about my body again! MY breast size is very small and I am wondering if the reason I am short and have small breasts is because I was anorexic??

Answer 1

It could be. But main the reason is the surroundings but it could be genetically transformed into your DNA which your mother and father passed on to you in the sexual reproduction.But it it was long enough to effect it then ye this could be a side effect so take it back and estimate the Lenth of time if it was a short amount DNA genetically, but if it was a large amount of time then yes its stunt your growth.

Answer 2

It could be but I think a lot of it depends on how long you were anorexic and how severe was it. If it was a small time period, I would say it may not have anything to do with your current size. How old are you now? Women keep growing until about 22 I've heard. So there is a chance you are not done yet.

Answer 3

Malnutrition has many bad side effects including stunted growth, so yes. (btw - there's nothing wrong with small breasts some of us guys prefer that but there are other more serious health issues that you should be concerned with)

Answer 4

Yes. There is however a breast exercise machine for women out now I saw on an informercial.Plus there is cosmetic surgery and pills that can help you in bigger breast size!

Answer 5

Answer 6
