Is getting thicker thighs part of getting older?

[Anonymous]

im in my mid twenties and my thighs keep getting fatter. the rest of my body is staying the same and my pants mostly fit still, but my thighs are like twice as big as in high school. i stay active but it seems like i can't stop my thighs getting bigger

Some of that is hereditary that you may have gotten somewhere along your family lifeline. That you can't do anything about. These people will most likely have thicker thighs when younger too. So don't fret it.

You should talk about it with the doctor, it can be side effects of contraceptives

I am a medical student. The thighs are deposits of fatty tissue in women. They normally stop growing when adolescence ends, but if you continue to gain weight, they will continue to grow.

Well is it muscle or fat? Muscle is good, fat is not

Your hitting your second puberty

A lot bigger or an amount that would seem normal?

Diet perhaps.
