After the birth of her third child, a young Peruvian woman was struck by a rare disease - her breasts began to increase and soon reached such a size that her mistress lost the ability to move normally and was bedridden for the last six months
The woman was threatened with death from suffocation - huge mammary glands squeezed her chest so that Julia Manihuari could no longer breathe. Fortunately, everything ended well - the surgeons excised 16 kg of flesh and not only kept the woman healthy, but also returned her to normal life.
29-year-old Julia Manihuari, a resident of a small Peruvian village in the north of the country, almost died from … an increase in the bust - that is, something that under other circumstances could have glorified her.
Seven years ago, she gave birth to her third child (Julia has four children in total). Even during pregnancy, the woman noticed a strong breast augmentation, which was not observed in previous pregnancies. The birth of the fourth child a few years later only increased the growth of the mammary glands of a young miniature woman, whose height is only 153 cm. Soon the woman lost the ability to move normally, and for the last six months she was completely bedridden. It was terrible. As soon as I tried to get out of bed, I immediately fainted,”Julia recalls the terrible times.
Giant mammary glands were pressing on the chest with an unbearable weight - the woman was threatened with death from suffocation. Fortunately, local journalists, who made Julia the "heroine" of local newspapers and television news, managed to raise the necessary amount of money, and the woman set off on a long journey - three days on a river boat to the nearest large hospital.
The doctors insisted on an early surgical operation, during which they "lightened" both Julia Manihuari's breasts by 16 kg. A team of surgeons operated for 6 hours. Now the chest of a Peruvian woman saved from certain death has a "modest" 4th size.
“Most likely, this abnormal breast enlargement was due to the powerful release of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in the woman's body during pregnancy. Something went wrong, and the growth of breast tissue continued. If it weren't for the skill of the surgeons, Julia Manihuari would most likely have died,”said Cynara Coomer, an American surgeon who commented on this rare case of gigantomastia.
