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.  Shirley Morris, RN, LMT, IBCLC
