Common Questions and Answers about Hard lump in breast male
lump
It is correct to think that male breast cancer appears increasingly with age. The median age for breast cancer in men in 67. There is most probably no cause for worry in your case, since the small lump and pain that you have can be due to normal growth and development of your body at this age. As you would know there are changes taking place in your body at this time and some of the changes do happen in the breast tissue which is also present in a less developed form in males.
The most obvious symptom in males would be a palpable or visible lump in the breast tissue. As a rule male breast cancer appears in the later years but anything is possible. If you have noticed a lump (no matter how small) please make an appointment with preferably a Breast Specialist for an exam and possible Mammogram. Regards ...
i am a guy. but i there's a small lump in my right areola(??) sometimes it's painful when touch. do men get breast cancer? ... will the lump eventually disappear or need to be surgically removed.
i appreciate any professional opinions.
You don't state your age and that would be helpful no matter what the issue. Since you had both types of imagery I don't think there is much to worry about (here again your age would be a factor) and it isn't unusual for these lumps in males to cause some discomfort. IF you continue to experience discomfort OR the lump seems to change in size it wouldn't hurt to take your films and see a Breast Specialist for a second opinion. Take care ......
Thank you ! Is it harder to detect a lump in someone that has fibriods? Maybe if they are reduced it makes it easier to detect what the real issue ...or lump...is?????? I can definately tell a difference in the lump under my arm & lumps in my breasts. They feel different. Any thoughts????
From the size you describe this sounds more like something muscle related than an actual breast lump. You say you are going to see a Dr. in a few days and this would be my best advice. Breast lumps usually present as round or oval findings and not that large but you should have it checked out by your Dr. as soon as you can. It's impossible to speculate over the internet without benefit of examination but I don't see any relation to cancer. Regards ....
I am glad that you are seeing your doctor tomorrow.This visit is long overdue,and,if I may add, you should not have ignored this lump in your breast for as long as you have.There is something that you can do to lessen the pain...try to limit your caffeine intake as much as possible (chocolate coffee cola).Your doctor will examine your breasts tomorrow and maybe order an Ultrasound for a better understanding of what this lump might be.Best wishes and God Bless.
i am male and had an ultrasound on 2 small lumps in the left breast and the written report says that the largest lump (3mm) contains a tiny calcific focus with no internal vascularity demonstrated. It says the other one is a small cyst and that no other solid mass or architectural distortion is seen. It also says the retroareolar region and axilla are normal. If a lump has a tiny calcified focus does that mean cancer? and do you think i have anything to worry about?
I'm a lactating male do to low t and fenugreek.
I dont want to scare you but definately go get it checked out. I had a lump under my arm, got a breast exam which there was no BREAST lump felt. Less than a year later I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer.
Yours is probably NOT cancer but just to be safe dont put it off as the lump under my arm was not hard either. Cancerous breast lumps are whats hard not armpit nodes.
Good luck to you I know you are fine but just go to the doc and get some peace of mind.
Hi. From your description, it seems to me that the lump may be an infected lymph node or some form of bacterial skin infection (furuncle or cellulitis). Consult with a doctor to be sure, and so you can be given the proper antibiotic treatment. Offhand, it doesn't look like cancer to me.
