(Not a Health Question?)

Have lumps under my breasts, im a male , age 24, its much larger underthe right side . they formed about a few years ago and the one under the right has gotten bigger over time , Its a little sensative .. Was wondering what i should do ? I think i know what it is from . I took a supplement called M-1-T about 2 -3 years ago , what it does is shuts down your test. system , so when you get off of it , yours takes a while to get back going , so i am thinking its just an estrogen buildup under the breast , hoping , but its getting to the point where i almost want to get it takin out .. is there any way this can be taking care of without cutting them out , such as ultra sound , pills , a high strength DHEA or something ?

Thank You

Hello

When you say "under my breasts" do you mean under you nipples??

ie behind them pushing them out they way?

Reply to Alexander Irvine's Post: Yes , under the nipple , but its bigger than just the nipple now and seems like it sits back a little farther. probably an 1/8 of a inch to the right but goes across

Thanks for getting back to me.

You are describing "gynaecomastia" which means glandular development of the male breast.

It's actually a very common problem and there is a well recognised surgical procedure "subcutaneous mastectomy" that removes this tissue.

You should consult with a breast surgeon (do not be embarressed 10% of breast problems occur in men), who can do this for you and can also arrange a few standard blood tests.

Hope this helps.

Reply to Alexander Irvine's Post: Thank you for you help, is this a procedure where you actually have to be put to sleep . Or something that is fairly quick

Hi

No you need a general anaesthetic (put to sleep).
