Om avsnittet

For many women, having larger breasts may be down to genetics. But for some, breast growth is extreme, painful and life-altering. The condition is called 'gigantomastia'. A condition that causes excessive breast tissue growth, leading to chronic pain, mobility challenges, and emotional distress.

Focus on Africa podcast host Nkechi Ogbonna speaks to 25-year-old South African content creator Michelle Sekwena, who has been sharing her journey with gigantomastia and her experience undergoing breast reduction surgery.

Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Fana Negash, Basma El Atti Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producer: Carolyne Kiambo Jotham Editors: Priya Sippy and Maryam Abdalla
