Good day,
Noted your concern.

May I ask you few questions?
Do you wish to change the gender?
Do you wish to block your male hormones?
How is your facial and body hair growth?
Any family h/o breast cancer or cervical cancer?

Estrogen pills are the one we use to improve breast size. But there are several side effects. Would appreciate a reply so that I can answer further

Brief Answer:
Trans gender disorder

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for the information. This need a detailed consultation with an endocrinologist.
As long as you have normally functioning testes, male hormones will be formed. There are medicines to block its actions partially. Estrogen is the hormone we need to use to enlarge the breasts. You need a detailed consultation with an endocrinologist to decide further. It need a multi disciplinary approach with inputs from Endocrinologist, Psychologist etc.
