Men have a lump in their chest that causes pain on a regular basis

Men, like women, are also likely to develop breast cancer. This is because the thymus gland in men develops to a certain extent. As long as there are signs of development, there is a chance of developing the disease. When breast cancer breaks out, you can feel lumps of varying sizes in your chest, and these lumps may worsen over time. So how should you deal with this disease? Let's find out.

If you have a lump in your breast, you may first wonder if you have breast cancer. In fact, in many cases, if a lump grows in the breast, it is not necessarily cancer. It may also be breast hyperplasia, mastitis or breast fibroma.

Introduction

A lump in the chest is one of the symptoms of breast cancer. In addition, whether the nipple is sunken or whether there is discharge is also a manifestation of breast cancer. But it does not necessarily mean that if there is a lump in the chest, you will definitely have breast cancer. So, how do you judge what kind of breast disease you have?

Can men get breast cancer?

Generally speaking, breast cancer is a common cancer in women, but men can also get it, but the chance is a little lower, about 1% of the female incidence. However, male breast cancer is more likely to spread and is not easy to be found, so it should be taken seriously.

Men who are born with better breast development should have a breast examination during their physical examination after middle age. If the glands are found to be particularly abundant, it is best to have a surgical removal to avoid cancer.

If the breast skin is sunken, the nipple is inverted, and there is occasional nipple bleeding, then male friends may wish to have a breast examination to rule out the possibility of breast cancer.

What is the cause of the lump in the chest?

When most people feel a lump in their breast, their first reaction is “Do I have breast cancer?” But in fact, breast pain or a lump does not necessarily mean breast cancer. So, what other diseases could it be?

Breast hyperplasia: Generally speaking, if a lump grows in the breast, it is likely that you have breast hyperplasia. The symptoms are mild or moderate tenderness in the breast area, which changes with the menstrual cycle. During menstruation, the lump will become larger and the pain will become stronger.

Mastitis: This disease is more common in breastfeeding women. Its symptoms are lumps in the breast, breast swelling, redness and swelling. The root cause is breast inflammation. It is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid the formation of breast abscesses.

Breast fibroma: It occurs more frequently in young women and is rare after the age of 40. The lumps are usually regular round in shape, usually with a diameter of no more than 4 cm, firm in texture, with clear boundaries, high mobility, and no adhesion to the skin.

Daily breast care - massage

The basic massage methods are "from bottom to top" and "from outside to inside". *Massage friction between hands can cause skin pain. During the massage, you can use lotion or essential oil to kill two birds with one stone by protecting the skin and enlarging the breasts.

Massage technique: Place one hand under the chest and the other hand above the chest, as if wrapping the breast with the palm of your hand. The hand on the lower side starts massaging from the chest to under the ribs, while the hand on the upper chest starts massaging from under the ribs to the middle of the chest.

You can also massage your breasts before going to bed. Method: You can use the body lotion together. Massage from the center of the breast upwards to the clavicle in a circular motion, then expand the area around the breast and continue to massage in a spiral motion. Repeat each movement 10 times until the breasts feel slightly warm.

The lumps in the breasts are mostly caused by poor blood circulation in the breasts, not necessarily breast diseases. So, don't be surprised. It is best to do some massage to open up the blood vessels and improve blood circulation. Not only can it remove lumps, it may also have the effect of enlarging breasts, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
