Woman with ‘Britain’s biggest boobs’ says they are ‘ruining her life’ in sad update

Melissa Ashcroft has 36M breasts

A woman who says her breasts are making her life unbearable has opened up further about the day-to-day challenges she faces and why she can't go under the knife.

30-year-old Melissa Ashcroft has been vocal about the pain she has been experiencing, which is caused by her size 36M breasts.

The mum-of-two previously explained that doing anything physical is a nightmare, and even pain medication doesn't seem to help with anything.

Having begun to experience terrible side effects from her growing breasts at 19, the mum explained that she needed reduction surgery, but her GP apparently will not give her one as her BMI is higher than the threshold.

However, with an underactive thyroid, Melissa says losing weight isn't that simple.

According to the NHS, the BMI threshold is in place to prevent things like blood clots after the surgery.

Melissa shared on This Morning that doctors have told her to lose weight via exercise, but she finds the act excruciating due to the size and heaviness of her breasts.

She told hosts Ben Shephard and Alison Hammond that she has even suffered from a slipped disc due to her breast size, but is finding that swimming is something she is able to do.

The Blairgowrie woman has launched a GoFundMe to raise money so she can get the procedure done privately, as she told the hosts that she’s ultimately wanting to do it so she can be an active mother to her children.

Melissa said: “The baby is getting older, as she's getting older, she's getting bigger, so trying to pick her up now, I rely heavily on my husband, which is quite sad."

She added: "I like swimming, because you're moving your body but less pain in your joints, so that seems to be working out, so I am trying to get there. That's the only thing I can do with the kids at the moment."

She went on to reveal that her donation page was shut down for unknown reasons, and a miscalculation in the costs she would need for the surgery has set her back.

She said: "I made a GoFundMe which got shut down a couple of days after, and I still don't know the reason why... I made a new one and I think it's made £50, but then the goal post got moved because I thought it was about £8,000, but it's actually about £13,500."

At the time of writing, Melissa's GoFundMe page has £110 raised out of her goal.
