Acupuncture for Breast Enhancement: Is 17 Still Puberty?

Could you please provide the content you would like me to translate?

I'm sorry, doctor! I didn't ask clearly before! I apologize for bothering you.
Last time I asked about acupuncture for breast enhancement, and you mentioned it is effective during puberty.
Is 17 still considered puberty? Does acupuncture require undressing? Also, is taking the Fulu Shou lactation pills effective? The pharmacist said it would start to work in half a month; I wonder if that's true? Thank you, doctor!

In principle, a 17-year-old may still have the opportunity for acupuncture without needing to undress.
However, the ingredients and effects of the breast milk pills are unknown.

More Info

At 17 years old, you are still considered to be in your late teenage years, which is often regarded as a continuation of puberty. Puberty typically spans from ages 10 to 18, although it can vary for each individual. During this time, your body is still undergoing various hormonal changes that can influence breast development.
Regarding acupuncture for breast enhancement, some practitioners believe that acupuncture can stimulate blood flow and hormonal balance, potentially aiding in breast development. However, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of acupuncture specifically for breast enhancement is limited. While some individuals report positive experiences, results can vary widely from person to person.
As for the question of whether acupuncture requires you to undress, it often depends on the area being treated. In many cases, patients may need to expose the area where needles will be inserted, but practitioners typically ensure that you are comfortable and provide appropriate draping to maintain your privacy. It’s always best to discuss any concerns with your acupuncturist beforehand to understand what to expect during the session.

Regarding the use of herbal supplements like "福祿壽的通乳丸" (which translates to "Fu Lu Shou Breast Enhancement Pills"), these products often contain a mix of herbs that are believed to promote breast growth and enhance milk production. While some users may report positive effects, it is essential to approach such supplements with caution. The efficacy of herbal remedies can vary, and they may not be scientifically validated. Additionally, the safety of these products, especially for younger individuals, should be considered. It’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

In summary, at 17, you are still in puberty, and acupuncture may have some potential benefits for breast enhancement, although results can vary. Always communicate openly with your healthcare providers about your goals and concerns, and consider their advice when exploring treatments or supplements. Remember that every individual’s body is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It’s essential to prioritize your health and well-being above all else.
