In what can only be described as a rare medical case, Iquitos resident and mother Julia María Marihuari Yahuarcanqui (29) from Requena located in Loreto, suffers from pain caused by VERY enlarged and disproportionate breasts.



For Julia Maria it all started 6 years ago after having given birth to her fourth child she began to experience recurring pains in her breasts.  In those 6 years her breasts began to grow until they reaching an alarming size, with each breast weighing up to 5 kilos!   Julia Maria's condition worsened when the pain in her back became unbearable causing her to have to remain in bed as she could no longer walk.  Whats more shocking is that she has only received pain medication to treat this bizarre condition.  

UPDATES: It has been confirmed that the enlargement of her breasts was caused by two tumors.  The Ministerio de Salud (Health Ministry of Peru) has decided to provide medical assistance in order to help reduce Julia Maria's enlarged breasts.  She will be transferred from the department of Loreto to the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital in the capital city of Lima, there she will receive the proper treatment and assistance she has been needing.
