A resident of the Canadian province of British Columbia, after an abusive relationship, spent a large sum of money on breast augmentation and remained sterile, reports The Sun.
34-year-old Shelby Kennedy went through a tough relationship and divorce, after which her self-confidence dropped lower than ever. In 2012, when she was 26 years old, she enlarged her breasts from the third to the fifth size. The operation cost her 6.4 thousand Canadian dollars (372.5 thousand rubles).
The woman’s self-esteem improved, but three months later she began to suffer from fatigue and depression. She developed large cysts on her ovaries. She had to take opioids because of the pain.
In late 2012, she underwent an ectopic pregnancy and was diagnosed with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus begins to grow elsewhere. Over the next several years, the Canadian suffered from chronic pain and three failed pregnancies.
In 2015, with her new husband Tyler, Kennedy underwent IVF and gave birth to a daughter, Mackenie. Her pain subsided during pregnancy, but returned when her daughter was one year old.
“I lived in a fog, trying to cope with motherhood, postpartum depression and the constant feeling that I could not stand it all,” she said.
In 2017, Kennedy’s chest swelled. An ultrasound examination showed that she had seroma at the last stage – an accumulation of tissue fluid in the subcutaneous tissue. The woman paid 13.8 thousand Canadian dollars (807.4 thousand rubles) for the replacement of implants. For a while, her condition improved.
A year later, the woman could hardly get out of bed due to excruciating chronic pain. The doctor recommended that her uterus be removed. The Canadian agreed to the operation, even though it meant she would never be able to have children again.
In the first six months after the operation, Kennedy’s condition improved, but in February 2019, her legs were covered with bruises, and she also developed chronic fatigue. The Canadian constantly fainted, could not get out of bed, could hardly speak and had difficulty memorizing new information.
Kennedy went to the hospital several times, but she could not be diagnosed. In January 2020, the Canadian finally found the cause of her health problems. “A friend told me that her implants were removed because they made her feel unwell,” she said.
The woman spent another 7.9 thousand Canadian dollars (464.2 thousand rubles) to remove the implants. She encourages everyone who wants to enlarge their breasts to think about the consequences of the operation.
