Jan, I had a mom I tried to help before I knew what hypertrophy of the breast was, and she went from a 32b to breasts the size of watermelons. No milk could be expressed, because the tissue was so compressed. I knew the tissue couldn't let the milk out, but I didn't know what to do. I still don't know if there is an effective treatment. I will call Randy Craig, an infertility and women's endocrinologist soon and ask him if there is an effective treatment. Good luck.
