In India, the prevalence of back pain due to large breasts is notable. Cultural and genetic factors may contribute to a higher incidence of large breast sizes among Indian women. Additionally, societal norms and limited access or wearing wrong size supportive garments can exacerbate the physical and psychological impact of large breasts. Consequently, many Indian women may experience significant discomfort and seek medical intervention, including breast reduction surgery, to alleviate chronic back pain and improve their quality of life.
Back pain is one of the problems caused by large breasts due to the excessive weight of the breast tissues that exert pressure on muscles and ligaments located in the back, neck and shoulders thereby subjecting a person to chronic pains. The poor posture maintained to counterbalance weight issues worsens this kind of pain. In most cases, women with huge breasts experience severe neck, shoulder and back pains throughout their lives that curtail their day-to-day activities.
