Comprehensive correction of gigantomastia in Kyrgyzstan: Clinical experience

Gigantomastia is a rare but clinically significant form of breast gland hypertrophy, characterized by excessive enlargement of breast volume, often accompanied by physical and psychoemotional complications. Patients diagnosed with this condition frequently report back and neck pain, postural disturbances, restricted physical activity, and psychological distress related to body image and social integration. In recent years, the frequency of gigantomastia diagnoses has been steadily increasing. This is attributed not only to improved diagnostic capabilities and wider access to specialized care but also to growing awareness among both physicians and patients. Several countries in Europe and Asia have accumulated considerable clinical experience in the management of giantomastia. In contrast, Kyrgyzstan faces a lack of reliable statistical data and insufficient focused research. This prospective study presents the clinical experience of treating 42 patients with gigantomastia in Bishkek between June 2022 and December 2023. A comprehensive approach was implemented, combining surgical intervention with elements of conservative therapy. The one-year follow-up demonstrated the safety and high effectiveness of the chosen treatment strategy for gigantomastia within the framework of Kyrgyzstan’s national healthcare system
