Rubee, have you tried Medscape? You join for free, but there might be some information you could use on the site.

I have been working with many patients who I have diagnosed with juvenile breast hypertrophy for 3 years now. Many have showed signs of breast hypertrophy, however it turned out to be average hormonal growth. Some studies show it is caused from hormone chemicals found in foods such as chicken and beef. To determine it is juvenile breast hypertrophy for sure you can calculate the size of the breast and compare it to the size of the patents waist and body weight to height. I can work out the formula to determine the stage of the disease if you email me the her breast size, body weight, age & height.
