My breasts have been hurting?!
Question:
My breasts have been hurting?
i'm a 21 year old male, and my breasts have been hurting for about 5 years now. there are lumps present in them but are symetrical. a few years ago a doctor said it was nothing to worry about and that it would last for a few months, but 5 years on they still act up. any advice would be helpful. I consider myself a 'slow developer' so just wondering if this is normal or if its time to go see my G.P.
Answers:
You should see your doctor. Anytime there is pain means that something is not right. Painful and enlarged breasts is also a symptom of testicular cancer (approximately 20-25% of testicular cancer patients report these symptoms). In all probability you are fine, but better to be safe than sorry.
