 Posted: 08/08/05 - 02:00 Post subject: Male nipple enlarged concern |
  |
|
Hello,
I need advice. I know this is more female topic, but I have a problem. My nipple is enlarged and noticed this in the past month, before it was normal, I mean like the right one. I am really concerned and am not sure whether breast cancer can happen to men… my mother and also her sister had breast cancer, that was detected in early stage, so they are both cured … I know cancer is “hereditary”, so I am afraid I got one too, though I am a man.

Hello!
I am not sure whether men can get breast cancer… this is certainly more female disease… but then again… Enlarged nipple is definitely a breast cancer sign and it can be connected to some other diseases or could be caused by other things but cancer. I heard that emerging marks and marks that are uneven in shape are a sign of skin cancer… maybe this is the case. I think you should get your blood or other body fluids checked… and of course show the nipple to your doctor or better specialist. Something must be wrong if this happened in a period of a month … something must be a reason for enlargement… this is definitely worth of examination.
Good luck!

Dude you probably dont have to worry about it
im 15. im a guy.
when i was13-14 i noticed my nipple started hurting
and one was more enlarged
they started getting alitil bigger.
i asked my doctor.
she said its something certain guys get through puberty
and said it would go away
but i still have it and the other one even out with it
so now ther both puffy.
i hate it dude
and im trying to figure out how to get rid of it
but chances are its not cancer man
even tho guys can get breast cancer, but its a slimmer chance.
try not to worry about it just pay attention to it and talk to ur doctor.
thats wut im doing/. |

the thing about doctors is that most of em are hesitant to mess with an adolescents endocrine system
chemically you can reduce the size of your gyno (thats what you have)
(its due to elevated estrogen levels)
something like letrozole, or arimidex can reduce or even eliminate recent gyno
go see an endocrinologist. |
