One woman has opened up about her rare medical condition as her size O breasts 'won't stop growing'.

The likes of Summer Roberts was diagnosed with macromastia, a disorder that causes continuous and excessive breast growth, when she was 25.

Her chest size is now a 30N with her breasts, which weigh an estimated 25kg, becoming a physical burden that has impacted several facets of her life, from her health to her career.

"I never really had an A-cup," Summer explained, adding that, by the age of 10, she was already a B-cup. And, by 16, her chest had grown to a double J.

Understandably, the constant breast growth has caused chronic back and shoulder pain, forcing Summer to rely on corsets and specially made bras, costing up to $400 each, just to get through the day.

"If I'm cleaning my house or cooking, or walking around, I have to wear a bra because my back will hurt if I’m doing any activity when I’m not wearing a bra," she shared.

Unfortunately, Summer's pleas for help were repeatedly dismissed. She spent years trying to access a breast reduction through the public health system, only to be denied again and again, leaving her no choice but to spend years living with pain.

But it wasn't just her physical health which was affected, as the emotional toll was also a lot to deal with.

"I hated myself so much," Summer admitted. "I actually hated my boobs."

Everyday tasks like shopping would become incredibly stressful with Summer recalling: "I would have panic attacks in dressing rooms.

"I often wear the same few things because finding clothing that accommodates my bust and the rest of my small frame is nearly impossible."

She also faced years of harassment, catcalls, and unwanted attention, explaining: "I’ve always been over-sexualised."

After dealing with yet another instance of sexual harassment from a customer at work, Summer decided to make a major career move and set herself up an OnlyFans account.

"I now sexualise myself," the adult content creator claimed. "I get to take control of it and actually make money from it."

Explaining that she's 'not the problem', Summer insisted that the issue lies with an exclusionary society and industry.

"People don't make clothes for me and people don't see bodies like mine," she pointed out.

While Summer has since decided she no longer wants a breast reduction due to her macromastia, despite years of begging for a medical solution, she has declared that she's developed a newfound peace, viewing her life now 'through a lens of freedom rather than burden'.
