Common Questions and Answers about Lump in breast during puberty
lump
That hard and painful lump under your right nipple may just be a breast bud, which is part of the normal changes which happen as your body begins to mature during puberty. There is a chance that the lump could be some sort of infection (cellulitis), so you may also want to have it checked by a doctor, just to be sure it's not anything serious.
There are five stages of the changes that occur during puberty, called Tanner stages or Sexual Maturity Rating (SMR) stages. Breast lumps in boys are common during SMR 3 and SMR 4. The firm lump may occur under only one nipple, under both nipples, or under the two at different rates or sizes. The lumps are often tender when they are growing the fastest. In at least 90% of kids, these will go away on their own.
Hi,
A young woman your age may experience a number of changes in her breasts during puberty and adolescence as she becomes an adult.
Cyclical breast pain, the most common type of breast pain, is associated with the menstrual cycle and is nearly always hormonal.
The pain which is almost never associated with breast cancer may be felt in only one breast or may be felt as a radiating sensation in the under-arm region. The pain may also be a result of hormones received from contraceptive methods (i.
I think it is actually normal as boys start going through puberty. It can happen in both breasts or just one. It is due to hormones and the ratio of testosterone to estrogen production. something like 70% of boys have this.
However, it is always best to run these things by the doctor. If it is hot and red, thats an infection. That would definately require a doctor's visit.
our peditrician will take phone calls.
My doctor stated I have increased breast tissue on that breast.
In all probability the small pea sized lump or lumps under or around the nipple are areolar skin glands or Montgomery glands. They are normal findings at puberty. However, if the lump is painful or increasing in size or causing redness, then this could be an infected hair root. In this case, you would need to consult a doctor immediately. If the lump is painless, not bothering you at all, then please do not touch it or squeeze it.
My son is 12 years old and he recently found a breast lump in his right breast. His armpits are swollen also but we thought it was the cause of him using a new type of deoderant. The lump is also painful. It seems that all of these are syptoms to breast cancer. The thing is that he is only 12. Is that possible that he. Could have breast cancer?

Hi,
Most probably, you have nothing to be worried about. At age 15 there are a lot of change happening to your body including hormonal changes.
There is some amount of breast tissue in all males and with the hormonal 'storm', the male breast is also involved. Slight swelling and lumping with a little pain/tenderness is common. This is a part of secondary sexual changes in the body during puberty.
(Although these could be more than cysts so if you have a lump or change definitely talk to your dr, just in case.) Your breast tissues also become less dense with age. So at 50 you will have a higher fat to breast tissue ratio than you would at 20. Big changes though would more likely come from weight gain or pregnancy. In my own opinion, unless you started puberty very late (15-17), your breasts are likely done "growing".
My 7 yo son has a breast lump like 2 weeks ago. No other symptoms like fever, headaches, diarrhea, redness, soreness, no pubic hair, or signs of puberty. The doctor said to wait without doing nothing for another two weeks. My son only has pain when I press the lump but not spontaneously. What do you think about the case?
I've been wondering if whether or not as a younger child in early puberty I had a little bit of a hormonal imbalance. I seem to have wider hips than most males and bonafide breast nub development. I was wondering if this is a concern for me presently because I was thinking of getting cosmetic gynecomastia-correcting surgery at some point, but I don't want any reason for my body to grow them back. I have pictures that I will gladly PM. Thank you!
