“Woman with P cup breasts, circumference only 143cm”… What is it about ‘this disease’ that causes breasts to continue to grow?

A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P… P, P, P! There is a woman with breasts the size of a P cup. The British daily The Sun introduced the story of a woman who reached a P cup size due to a very rare disease that causes her breasts to continue to grow.

Paige Amelia, a 29-year-old living in Melbourne, Australia, has Gigantomastia, a disease that causes rapid growth of breast tissue. This refers to a phenomenon in which the breast grows abnormally and excessively.

Cup sizes increase every year, forcing us to spend thousands of dollars on new clothes and bras. It costs £140 (about 280,000 won) just to buy a custom-made bra. Fortunately, she has no financial burden as she uses her large breasts to earn £300,000 (approximately 480 million won) a year from a popular adult content subscription site. She confessed that due to this disease, which causes her breasts to continue to grow, she also suffers from disadvantages such as severe back pain.

Page said, “Growth is irregular. Sometimes it stops, and sometimes it suddenly grows a lot in a month. I buy stretchy tops so I can wear them as I grow, and I’m always looking for new clothes. It’s really expensive to replace clothes. “It costs a lot, but I’ve decided to accept it for now,” he said.

Paige’s breasts began growing uncontrollably when she was 25 years old. It hasn’t stopped since. Gigantomastia can be caused by a variety of causes, but in Page’s case, the cause is not clear.

In January 2022, his chest circumference was 100 cm. Eight months later, in September 2022, it increased to 114 cm, and in May 2023, it reached 139 cm. Currently, it continues to grow and the chest circumference reaches 143cm. In general, a woman’s chest circumference is about 80 to 100 cm, which usually falls between A and D cups. Page also received numerous ‘malicious messages’ from people due to her breasts growing bigger day by day. Among them are about 40 daily date request messages.

He said, “I feel that people with larger breasts are more often sexually objectified. I don’t like wearing tight clothes in public. I often get unpleasant looks, especially from other women. I am conscious of people’s gaze, so I choose what I want to wear. “I can’t wear it and I always feel pressured to please everyone,” he said.

Page is considering breast reduction surgery. It costs about 5,000 pounds (approximately 8.6 million won), but I am hesitant to undergo the surgery because it seems to be of no use. This is because there is no guarantee that the surgery will stop growth, and there are concerns that the disease will cause the breasts to grow back to their original size.

Grows abnormally for a short period of time…causing back pain, stiff neck, etc.

Page suffers from gigantomastia, a rare condition in which a woman’s breasts grow abnormally large and rapidly. This disease is mainly related to hormonal imbalance and often occurs during puberty or pregnancy. Taking certain medications, autoimmune reactions, and genetic factors are also cited as causes. The severity and cause of the condition varies from patient to patient, and may affect one or both breasts.

The main symptom of gigantomastia is a rapid increase in breast size, with abnormally large growth occurring over a short period of time. This causes physical discomfort such as severe back and neck pain, stiff shoulders, sagging skin, and inflammation under the breasts. Additionally, psychological burden due to body image stress, social stigma, and sexual objectification is also common.

Diagnosis is made based on the patient’s history and physical examination, and the cause is identified through imaging tests such as breast ultrasound and MRI and hormone tests. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life. Conservative treatment includes drug treatment and hormone therapy to manage pain and inflammation, and in severe cases, surgical treatment such as breast reduction surgery or mastectomy is performed. However, if the underlying cause is not resolved, there is a possibility that the breasts will grow again after surgery, so patients need ongoing care. This disease is very rare, and research cases are still limited. Treatment is carried out using a customized approach tailored to the individual’s situation.
