Her Boyfriend Has A Rare Genetic Disease And Suddenly Grew A 36C Chest
This 22-year-old girl has a boyfriend two years older than her who was recently diagnosed with something called Aromatase excess syndrome.
It’s a genetic disease that’s exceedingly rare, and only a little more than 20 people have been discussed in medical literature as having this.
Basically, someone with Aromatase excess syndrome ends up having elevated levels of estrogen in their body.
When men experience this, they end up developing a chest and can also go through an early growth spurt, followed by stunted height.
Anyway, she says her boyfriend has additionally been struggling with inflammatory and thyroid problems, and when then that got fixed, his androgen levels shot up.
That then resulted in more aromatase activity in his body, which converted testosterone into estrogen.
“The result is that he went from having an A-cup…as a skinny guy, [to] growing [a] fully developed female [chest],” she explained.
“He’s currently a large 36C and still growing (about a half cup of growth over the last month).”
Of course, her boyfriend wasn’t interested in this change in his body, but he has no control over what’s happening, as there’s no way to stop the growth.

Surprisingly, she says her boyfriend hasn’t become depressed, and she thinks this is because he was suffering from chronic fatigue before now, and he’s just happy to feel better than he has in a while.
He is bothered by the fact that his chest is still growing, as it makes it a lot harder to hide. This certainly has been a huge change for both of them to adjust to.
“It was actually a fairly positive thing for both of us,” she said. “It took him a bit to get used to it, but if you’re stuck with them (for the time being), there’s no reason to hate everything about them.”
She’s honestly just curious what other women would think if this happened to their boyfriend. How would you feel if you suddenly found yourself in her situation?
