Question 1

my son is 7 and has a small lump under his one nipple - seems like a breast bud, is this common in boys?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, this is common. As boys develop, they actually usually produce a bit of estrogen before they begin to produce testosterone. The estrogen may cause slight development of breast buds. These usually last a year or two, then disappear once testosterone production predominates. Don't worry - everyone, male and female, have some breast tissue.

Question 2

i feel some lumps in my breast?

Accepted Answer

See details: Then you must have an evaluation as soon as possible. This will include an exam by a physician and a mammogram at least.

Question 3

does soy milk cause lumps in mens breasts?

Accepted Answer

No: There is no scientific evidence that dietary soy food (milk, tofu, ect...) is linked to the development of breast cancer in women or men. And it does not cause lumps in men's breasts. If a man has a lump in his breast, he should immediately go see his doctor for an assessment. Breast cancer does develop in men, albeit much less common than in women.

Question 4

how can you check your breasts for lumps/cancer?

Accepted Answer

Mammogram&Self-Exam: The best way to check for breast cancer is a screening mammogram. It's safe, inexpensive, and noninvasive; it is most effective after menopause; most recommend starting at age 40.  Self-examination is not as highly-endorsed but i think it can be a very effective way to find cancers when done often. Lastly, having a yearly physician exam is important as well.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: I suggest you visit your doctor very soon for a breast exam and have a diagnostic mammogram

Question 8

what can cause my right breast to hurt even though there are no lumps?

Accepted Answer

Probably fibrocystic: Breast pain and lump are not always present together. Most of the time breast pain is secondary to fibrocystic condition, breast cysts, inflammation or breast infection. Some cancers are also painful. If your symptoms are new, it would be advisable to have a clinical breast evaluation to determine the cause of the pain. Breast lump and pain whether together or not need to be checked medically.

Question 9

y friend is complaining her breast is hurting and painful. no lumps etc.

Accepted Answer

To the doctor: She should get a breast exam done at her doctor's office.  This could be many things including infection. However, just because you don't feel lumps doesn't mean there aren't any.  If there is concern about that, she should also get a mammogram.
