Woman seeks breast reduction after medical advice denied
Charlotte Howard from West Lavington describes severe physical and social problems caused by large breasts while seeking surgery that doctors have refused.
Physical symptoms and daily struggle
The horticulturist reports carrying significant weight on her neck and shoulders. She uses medicated talc to prevent rashes and washes the area multiple times daily due to odor. Exercise has become painful and uncomfortable for her.
Public harassment and social impact
Howard states she faces fat-shaming in public streets where people shout jokes or make lewd comments. She says she cannot look at herself without clothing because of the discomfort. These experiences have made her feel disgusted by her own body.
Failed attempts to get surgery
She visited a general practitioner to request breast reduction but was told there is no chance of qualifying. The woman now considers extreme measures like cutting them off with scissors as a last resort. Medical professionals have not approved her case for the procedure.
