Men have breast lumps because of this

Queen is not the exclusive right of every woman. Men also have breasts. Although men's breasts are relatively small, some men also have lumps in their breasts. This situation is relatively common in women's breasts, but when it appears in men's breasts, many male friends do not understand. So let's introduce to you the reasons why men have lumps in their breasts!

1. Breast hyperplasia, breast lumps, accompanied by mild tenderness. The lumps are mostly close to the periphery of the breast, often limited to one side, and become cystic when the lumps enlarge.

2. Mastitis. Acute purulent mastitis causes local skin redness, swelling, heat and pain. Tender lumps appear in the affected area. Systemic symptoms such as fever may also occur.

3. Breast fibroma: clinically, the main symptom is painless breast lumps, which are more likely to occur in the upper outer part of the breast. In a small number of cases, breast fibroadenoma coexists with breast hyperplasia, and there may be mild breast swelling and pain.

4. Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a clinical symptom of abnormal development of male breast tissue and abnormal proliferation of breast connective tissue due to an imbalance of estrogen and androgen ratio caused by physiological or pathological factors. Physiological gynecomastia generally occurs in newborns, adolescence and the elderly. Pathological gynecomastia can be seen in congenital atesticular syndrome, testicular feminization, viral orchitis, testicular atrophy caused by trauma, testicular tumors, etc.

5. Men's breast health, diet and exercise are the key to prevention. The most important thing to pay attention to when male breast development is abnormal is the risk of cancer. If male breast development is normal, there is basically no cancer, but male breast hyperplasia may still have the possibility of malignant changes.
