Hello. I have a problem recently. It all started with a slight pain on the left side, around the chest. I sleep on the left side in general, and when I relaxed more and pressed myself into the mattress, it hurt more, but I didn't pay attention. I thought I had a cold or something ... only 2 days ago when I was looking naked in the mirror I noticed that my left breast in question was slightly swollen. And to the touch it is felt, moreover, when I press it hurts in a circle around the nipple. What can it be due to and can it be something serious? I am a man of 23, I am weak, I do not drink anabolics or something that would confuse my hormones, etc. Does anyone know anything about such a problem? I didn't even find much information on the internet.

Go to the doctor, even men sometimes have breast cancer. If it turns out to be this and it is in the beginning, you will be healed. It could be something else, of course, so it's best to go to the doctor and ask for a blood test.
It looks like mastitis to me - an inflammation of the mammary gland and can also occur in men. It is possible that the systematic pressure on her part provoked him. One of the reasons it occurs in women is wearing too tight bras, so the mechanism is the same. Or it could be gynecomastia. It starts first with one breast and then changes with the other. There are many reasons for it, not just because of hormonal imbalance. Consult a doctor. Whatever it is, it is unlikely to go away on its own.
It says a woman with breast cancer. And I'm not writing to scare you, I'm just advising you to pay attention. This is how I carried the lump in my breast, during the examination I was told that it was mastopathy. But no one bothered to tell me that these things sometimes degenerate into malignant. It's probably harmless for you, but be sure to check it out. Advice from a suffering man. I recently had coffee with my girlfriend, whose daughter is the head nurse at a large hospital. She told her mother that there was a boom in men with breast cancer. Go examine yourself to calm down.
Come on, that's enough! 23-year-old man to scare - something is pressed. Number 2, hide somewhere with this male "mammary gland" - you're funny!
№4, tell yourself enough. It is better to know and without fear just to check. If you get scalded, you will blow the porridge. When I go to my Oncology for such examinations, I see so many young people that my hair is bristling. I wrote - it's probably harmless and I don't see what I scared the author with. Prevention is important. №3
