A man's two "grains of rice" are actually crucial

For most men, breasts are just two small "peas" that can be completely ignored. Since they cannot grow and develop like women's breasts, it is natural that there will not be so many problems. Even doctors often ignore male breast diseases. Little do they know that small places often contain big hidden dangers, and men will also be troubled by breast problems.

For most men, breasts are just two small "peas" that can be completely ignored. Since they cannot grow and develop like women's breasts, it is natural that there will not be so many problems, even diseases. However, little do they know that small places often contain big hidden dangers, and men will also be troubled by breast problems.

If you have breasts, you may have breast cancer.

Men almost never think that their breasts can have problems. In fact, as an organ located on the surface of the body, men should also pay attention to it. Breast disease is definitely not exclusive to women! Breast cancer can also occur in men. Although 99% of people with breast cancer are women, there is also an unlucky 1% that unfortunately falls on men.

Theoretically, breast cancer occurs when malignant tumor tissue appears in breast cells. Men also have breast tissue, so they may also develop breast cancer. However, due to differences in physiological structures, hormone levels are different, so women are more likely to develop breast cancer than men.

Men are more dangerous than women

For women, breast cancer is not new, but for men, because they usually pay little attention to it and have low vigilance, they often miss the best time for treatment when they find it, and when they are diagnosed, most of them are already in the late stage. Because of this, men are more at risk.

Since male breasts do not have developed lobules and alveoli, their breasts are much smaller than female breasts. Also, because male breast tissue is weaker, once a breast tumor is discovered, it is easy to spread outward and it does not take too long for it to spread to the skin and muscle tissue of the breast. This is one of the reasons why male breast cancer patients often have a late stage of the disease when they first get it.

For female patients with early breast cancer, although the lumps are small and difficult to detect, breast X-ray examination is very effective and common. However, men rarely take this common examination method, which is why male breast tumors are often ignored.

What are the dangers?

When a small foreign body appears in a man's breast, it is easy to detect, so compared to women, men are more likely to discover the problem early through their own observation. When a man's breast appears in the following situations, he should go for further examination as soon as possible.

⒈ Lumps and swelling. The main symptoms of male breast cancer are breast lumps that often occur around the areola, are hard in texture, have unclear boundaries, are often not smooth in surface, and have poor mobility.

⒉ Breast skin is inverted, nipple is inverted, and occasionally accompanied by nipple bleeding. The pain is sometimes not very obvious, but if the nipple is found to be retracted and the skin is involved, you should be vigilant.

⒊ Enlarged lymph nodes. The biggest feature of breast tumors is that they are easy to metastasize, so if you find that the lymph nodes under the arm are enlarged for a long time, you should be especially careful.

How can men prevent breast cancer?

● Keep a habit of self-examination of your breasts.

●Always pay attention to various changes in the breasts. If you experience local pain and tenderness, painless lumps with unclear boundaries, inward-retracted nipples, or secretions, you should go to the hospital immediately for relevant consultation and examination.

●Men prefer nutritional supplements, but most of them contain hormone ingredients, so they should be chosen with caution.
