A 46-year old Thai woman recently issued a public cry for help
after her breasts suddenly started to grow a few months ago, leaving her
unable to work or even move around without using crutches.
Thai media recently presented the case of Lam Phrai Si Nuan, a
46-year-old woman from a village in the country’s Phitsanulok province,
whose breasts started growing around 9 months ago and have no become so
big and heavy that she needs crutches to walk.
Mrs. Lam Phrai says she has seen doctors about her mysterious
condition, and although they eliminated the possibility of cancerous
tumors, they were unable to diagnose her or provide a treatment. Due to a
precarious financial situation, the woman cannot afford a more thorough
medical investigation and has appealed to kindhearted people for
assistance.
The woman told reporters that she first noticed her breasts were
growing three years ago, but that the rate at which they grew increased
8-9 months ago, when her left breast became considerably larger than the
other.
Then, about 5 months ago, the right one started catching up, and
now both her breasts have literally become a burden for Lam Phray, who
needs to wear a heavy cloth tied behind her neck to contain her growing
bosom.
The weight of Lam Phrai Si Nuan’s breasts puts constant pressure on
her spine, and she suffers from excruciating neck, shoulder and back
pain. To make matters worse, the added weight has rendered the
46-year-old woman unable to move around without wooden crutches.
After several visits to Phutthachinarat Hospital, the woman still
doesn’t know why her chest is constantly growing, just that it isn’t
tumors. One of the doctors told her that they could simply remove her
breasts, but they first need to know what is causing their unusual
growth. Lam Phrai has been scheduled for a more thorough investigation
on July 19, but since neither her nor her husband – who is still
recovering after a motorcycle accident – are working right now, she
cannot afford to pay the medical bills.
Through the media, Lam Phrai has appealed to the general public for
financial support to hopefully have her condition properly diagnosed
and treated.
