Rare condition causes woman's boobs to grow six cup sizes in 14 months

A woman living with a rare condition has been left with O-cup boobs which grew six sizes in just 14 months.

Pamelia J - who has chosen not to share her real name - has gigantomastia, a condition causing excessive and rapid growth of the breast tissue, with only 300 known cases.

The 27-year-old from Melbourne, Australia, was diagnosed in March last year, and has seen her breasts grow from a J to an O-cup since then.

She noticed her chest was rapidly growing two months before the diagnosis, outgrowing all her bras and suffering from back pain as a result.

Pamelia's GP referred her to a surgeon who was able to make the diagnosis, and as of today, her chest measures 139cm across - having grown from 100 in January 2022.

"It causes me back pain, shoulder pain and just pain all over," she said.

She also revealed the difficulties she faced finding clothes to suit her, with limited options for bigger busted women - especially if they don’t want their cleavage on show.

"I have to buy my clothes in plus-size shops and they aren't for people like me," she added.

"There are lots of clothes and styles that I can't wear because they're too revealing and make other people uncomfortable. I get a lot of looks."

Gigantomastia can be caused by a range of factors including hormonal changes, medications, and autoimmune diseases, but Pamelia’s cause is currently unknown.

She also suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) so is undergoing testing to see if the two conditions could be related.

But undeterred by the impact its had on her life, Pamelia says it has also made her thousands in her job on OnlyFans.

Since her breasts grew, Pamelia's earnings through the platform have multiplied, making more than £250,000 (AUD 500,000) in the last year.

She's now looking into breast reduction surgery to ease the pressure her chest is causing on her back, aiming to go down by half.

While there is a chance that her breasts could grow back to their current size after the reduction, she is looking forward to having some of her discomforts eased.

Pamela said: "The money has definitely been something that has played on my mind but I'm sure that mentally and physically it's the best decision.

"I will definitely lose subscribers on OnlyFans. I talk about getting a reduction openly and about 70% of my subscribers tell me not to get the reduction.

"The comments really make me question the decision. They make me wonder if it's the right choice, but I'm sure.

"Its uncomfortable and I'm over it."

In the meantime, Pamelia is planning on saving for another year and hopes to buy a house.

She added: "Overall, I'm glad this happened to me, because I've been able to open people's eyes to gigantomastia, I'm happy that I've had the experience.

"I'm hoping to save up for another year so I can buy a house in cash."
