For many women the thought of having bigger breasts is somewhat desirable, but for Aminata Daboh it couldn't be anything further from that.

The 20-year-old law and business management student says that her 32HH boobs have caused a 'lot of emotional distress and physical pain'.

So much so that she's started a fundraising page to try and pay for breast reduction surgery.

Aminata, who studies in Birmingham, claims the dad of one of her ex-boyfriend's even questioned whether she was a virgin because of them and if that wasn't bad enough, she was referred to as 'Aminata with the big breasts' at school.

She's tried to get surgery done on the NHS but was left feeling discouraged after a GP told her it was 'very rare' to get the operation publicly funded.

Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "When I started to feel self-conscious I thought I've got to do something about this.

"People used to sexualise me at school. People would say 'your boobs are really big' and it would make me feel really self conscious about my body.

"Then when I was 15 or 16 I was in a relationship and the boy I was with said his dad once said 'is your girlfriend a virgin, her boobs are really big'.

"At the time I brushed it off. But as I got older I was like no one should be able to make those assumptions about my body.

"At secondary school people used to shout at me. They would say your boobs remind me of this porn character.

"If people were going to refer to me they would say 'Aminata, the girl with the big breasts'."

Aminata, who is 5 foot 4 inches, also explained that having the operation would fix her back problems, adding: "The pain is unbearable now.

"Going private and spending thousands of pounds is not something anyone wants to do but this type of pain and discomfort is not bearable.

"Bras dig into my torso and shoulders. I can't sleep on my front because it's uncomfortable.

"When I was younger I used to be energetic and did lots of sports but I can't do that now.

"I can't find a bra that supports me when I jump."

The fundraising page has been set up as a 'last resort' and people have kindly donated over £1,800 ($2,400). Her target is £4,000 ($5,400).
