About The Disease

Gigantomastia is a disease where the breast tissue quickly enlarges abnormally. The confirmation of the diagnosis is done when the breasts weigh more than 3% of the total body mass. One of the causes of gigantomastia is an excessive abnormality with hormones like prolactin, oestrogen, and progesterone in the body. Post some pregnancies this can be seen but usually, the size of the breast reduces to its normal after a few months of the birth of a baby.

To reduce the discomfort caused by heavy breasts can be reduced to some extent by doing breast reduction surgery. It can also improve one’s sleep quality and mental health. This condition is very dangerous for the mental health of teen girls out there. In the past 15 years, less than 110 cases had diagnosed with this condition.
