The answer to this question is yes, some people with AIS (Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome) have breast development. AIS is a condition in which a person is born with a difference in their sex chromosomes, resulting in them having a “mixed” or “intersex” appearance. This typically means that they have genitals that don’t fit the typical definition of male or female. AIS can also cause changes in other parts of the body, including breast development.
When a person with AIS has breast development, the amount of development can vary greatly, depending on the individual. Some people with AIS may have slight breast enlargement, while others may have more significant development. It is also possible for a person with AIS to have no breast development at all.
The cause of breast development in people with AIS is not entirely understood. It is thought to be due to the body’s reaction to certain hormones, such as estrogen. Estrogen is a female hormone that is normally found in higher levels in females than in males. In people with AIS, the body may produce higher levels of estrogen, leading to breast development.
It is important to note that people with AIS may not necessarily need to have medical intervention to treat breast development. In many cases, the development is not severe enough to cause any significant discomfort or medical issues. However, if the development is causing pain or discomfort, there are various treatments and surgeries that can be considered to help alleviate the symptoms.
