Just be thankful it's not Gigantomastia. 😳
I have to pay extra for mammograms!

@irishmolly72 I think they're the same thing.

@Mamapolo2016 From one redhead to another... thank you! :)

@irishmolly72 😊 Yours is probably real.

@irishmolly72 yeah I'm a 38P cup so whichever it is it is uncomfortable
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@irishmolly72 I think technically there might be a difference, but the two terms are used interchangeably.

@HeatherFlorida I thought gigantomastia is when a woman's breasts grow larger than macromastia?
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@clairedelune Yes, that's often the case. But neither is the actual medical name for the condition. There's also titanomastia, which is larger than gigantomastia.

@HeatherFlorida I've heard of the other two, but I've never heard of titanomastia.
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@Richard65 Titanomastia isn't as common, and I only heard the term for the first time two or three years ago.
Richard65 · M
@HeatherFlorida ok, I'd have thought the term 'gigantomastia' would have been enough to describe the condition. That's interesting. I can't imagine how uncomfortable titanomastia must be.
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@Richard65 Yeah, it's difficult to say the least. The terms are all kind of subjective. I think technically there are different weight ratios to determine which one you have.
Richard65 · M
@HeatherFlorida thank you for telling me that, Heather. So you have titanomastia? Like I said, I'd never heard of it. I am interested in the subject, but I'd never bother a woman with inappropriate behaviour or crude questions regarding her breasts. I appreciate your replies. Best wishes.
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@Richard65 No, I don't, or at least I don't think I do. I forget what the weight ratios are, but basically if you have titanomastia you're immobile. .. No problem. Thanks for being respectful.
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
Oh and there's also micromastia, since we're discussing terms.
Richard65 · M
@HeatherFlorida I'm not even sure I want to know what that is! 😮
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@Richard65 It's just what it implies. Basically breasts don't develop. Flat chested.
Richard65 · M
@HeatherFlorida I've not heard of that either. It never occurred to me that lack of breast growth might also have a specific term, but it makes sense. It seems unfair that women have all these terms associated with their body development but men don't. Unless there ARE terms for male over-development...?
HeatherFlorida · 36-40, F
@Richard65 Yep, I've heard some terms to describe those too. You probably don't want to know. LOL

@HeatherFlorida thank you! These comments are VERY informative! Have you considered doing educational presentations? 😉

@HeatherFlorida I haven't heard that term either.
