What Are The Symptoms Of Gynaecomastia?

Posted on Thu, 16 Nov 2023

Question: Hi, I recently went for a blood test to test my hormones levels. I feel extremely anxious about the results. I went to the doctor about something I felt under my nipple and something else which resembled a seed. For whatever reason he didn't feel where I told him it was but instead felt around close to my nipple. I asked him if he felt anything and he said that one felt slightly different to the other and was unable to determine if it was muscle or something else. He thinks that it might be gynaecomastia. I've attached a picture of how it feels under each nipple which should hopefully give a better idea. Im hoping someone could put my mind to rest that it's nothing malicious with what I've said, if not I'd like to hear your opinion. Thank you.

Brief Answer:

Breast

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The breast structure is not homogeneous, it has many glands that the doctor can notice during the examinations. So in your case, it may be a normal structure breast. In my opinion, you should not be a concern

You may have a breast ultrasound also

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
