What causes breast pain in men?

What causes breast pain in men? Many male friends think that men’s breasts will not have various problems. In fact, this idea itself is wrong. You should know that men account for a certain proportion of breast cancer patients clinically. You should know that although men’s breasts are small, they still have mammary glands. Therefore, when men have breast pain, the first thing to consider is whether they 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.

What are the dangerous symptoms?

Because men have small breasts, it is easy to detect small foreign bodies in their breasts. Therefore, compared with women, as long as they pay more attention to it, it is easier for men to find problems early when they find breast changes. 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 is sunken, nipples are 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 alert.

3. 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 your armpits are enlarged for a long time, you should be especially careful.

After knowing that male breast pain may be caused by breast cancer, I hope that male friends can do a good job of breast cancer prevention, pay attention to keeping their breasts clean and hygienic, and perform regular breast self-examinations. In addition, many men take some hormone drugs to satisfy their sexual partners. This type of drug is the biggest source of male breast cancer. Therefore, male friends are advised to be cautious when choosing.
