Although men's penis is small, it can cause huge health problems.

Normal male breasts are not well developed, so they are often forgotten. Men almost never think that there will be problems with their breasts. In fact, as an organ located on the surface of the body, men should also pay attention to it. For them, breasts can also be a "place where accidents happen".

According to statistics, male patients currently account for about 1% of breast cancer patients in China, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.

If you have breasts, you may have breast cancer.

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.

Breast cancer is nothing new for women, but for men, it is more dangerous because they usually pay little attention to it.

It is reported that 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 occurs, it is easy to spread around and it does not take too long to spread to the skin and muscle tissue of the breast. This is one of the reasons why male breast cancer patients are often in the late stage of the disease when they are first diagnosed.

What are the dangerous symptoms?

Because men have small breasts, it is easy to detect small foreign bodies in their breasts. Compared with women, as long as they pay more attention to it, it is easier to find problems early when men have breast diseases. Experts remind that when men have the following breast problems, they should go to the hospital for further examination as soon as possible.

1. Lumps and swelling. The main symptom of male breast cancer is 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.

2. Breast skin inversion. Nipple inversion, 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 alert.

3. Enlarged lymph nodes. The biggest feature of breast cancer is that it is easy to metastasize, so if you find that the lymph nodes under your armpits are enlarged for a long time, you should be especially careful.

How men can prevent breast cancer

Usually pay attention to keeping breasts clean and hygienic, and develop a good habit of breast self-examination.

Always pay attention to various changes in your breasts. If you experience local pain and tenderness, a painless lump with unclear boundaries, a sunken nipple, or secretions, you should go to the hospital immediately for relevant consultation and examination.

Compared with women, men prefer to take nutritional supplements, but most nutritional supplements contain hormone ingredients and should be used with caution.
