    Estrogen supplement post puberty for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism?
    Can breast still develop in a person who has already complete puberty for several years by administering exogenous estrogen?

    This is a condition whereby a woman's body does not produce estrogen, or not enough to building normal female attributes; reverse in men where it is a problem with male hormone.

    How old are you ?

    Estrogen is actually a 'blanket' term and is not just one hormone but three, as follows:

    • Estrone (approximately 10-20% of circulating estrogens)

    • Estradiol (approximately 10-20% of circulating estrogens)

    • Estriol (approximately 60-80% of circulating estrogens)

    Your question regarding exogenous estrogen is highly clinical and complicated as you can see; is your doctor suggesting you take hormone replacement therapy to correct your problem?
