A woman suffering from gigantomastia says her social media posts showing her medical journey were banned by the platform, sparking online debate about medical content and moderation.
Gigantomastia is a rare condition that causes extreme breast enlargement, often leading to physical pain and health complications if left untreated.
The woman, who shared her experience online, said she posted photos to raise awareness and help others with similar symptoms. Instead, she claims the platform repeatedly removed her content for violating guidelines.
Supporters say she was simply documenting her medical journey, while critics argue platforms need clear rules defining medical photos versus sexually explicit content.
Doctors note gigantomastia can cause back and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture issues, and often requires medical treatments like therapy or surgery.
The controversy has ignited wider discussions about how social platforms moderate health‑related content and whether medical visuals should be treated differently.
Some users have shown solidarity by sharing their own stories, saying visibility is important for understanding rare health conditions.
For now, she continues to speak out about how the condition affects her life and calls for clearer guidelines that allow legitimate medical content to stay online.
