Breast cancer in men?

You don't have breast cancer. There are fewer than 2 cases out of 1,000,000 males aged 35 to 39. Younger than that and the statistics are basically 0. Women get it around 100 times more often than men, and 15 to 19 year old women have less than a 1 in 1,000,000 risk of getting it. You your risk would be lower than 1 in 100,000,000. Since there are only about 10,000,000 teenage males in the US, there is about 1 case in the entire US for breast cancer in US males every 40 years.

The youngest man with breast cancer was 24. The only thing he noticed was a discharge from his nipple. Male breast cancer is very rare and almost beyond rare in young men. Chances are highly highly in your favor of it not being breast cancer..

Oh and the next youngest was like 26...That's the only 2 I've ever heard of

Dylan - Chances of a young man like you having breast cancer are less than one in a million. During teen years, even males have some growth of breast tissue which starts out from the nipple area and spreads for an inch or so (gynecomastia). This growth stage may produce sore soreness. Next time you go for an annual physical exam, ask your doctor to check it out.

Not even remotely close to even being considered breast cancer...Yes, "Men", not teenage boys. Start worrying when you are 60. For now see your doctor.

Men CAN get breast cancer, although judging by your question history, you don't have breast cancer, you have hypochondria.

1. Male breast cancer (male breast neoplasm) is a rare cancer in men that originates from the breast. Many men with breast cancer have inherited a BRCA mutation, but there are other causes, including alcohol abuse and exposure to certain hormones and ionizing radiation.

2. In your case, 'no cancer'.

3. Maybe, it is not more than a boil/abscess/pustule/cyst/carbuncle/furuncle/benign and localized tumor.

Prudent* to see a general surgeon/local homeopath [for less costs]/dermatologist for physical examination, relevant investigations, accurate diagnosis and permanent cure by medication and or surgical interference.

Because, in all chronic issues with complicated & confusing symptoms-involving many organs, I prefer a General Surgeon, who shall be accurate in arriving at the right diagnosis by pin-pointing the affected organ[s]/tissues and ensures fast relief with surgical interference.

Much before the advent of super-specialties like nuero/pediatric/cardiac/renal/gynec/brai... gastro-enterology, oncology, and ENT etc., all these surgeries were conducted by general surgeons. Hence, a Surgeon’s approach is most appropriate and accurate. A good surgeon suggests cheapest and accurate diagnostic investigations only to ensure permanent cure.

Whereas, for all acute problems/issues, a physician hits the symptoms/diseases with say, 10 stones/medicines with the hope that a few stones may hit with dramatic relief. But, it does work in many cases & with ‘no side effects’.

. Cancer Fear Psychosis*:

“An Empty Brain is Devil’s Workshop”

Every visitor should come out of "Cancer-Fear-Psychosis" by studying and discussing with others. None gets cancer overnight. Malignancy develops over years. Details follow----

Carcinophobia/Lymphomaphobia: Fear of Cancer--Please, note that none gets cancer overnight. It takes years to develop any cancer/tumor. The main problem with the most of "You" youngsters is that you people are either dynamic or genius or intelligent or shrewd and sharp intellectuals. The TV channels & Internet are instrumental to ‘YOU’ that it is a fashion to start worrying about ‘CANCER’ for each & every symptom. It is very bad & agonizing trend which is totally wrong. It is becoming a psycho-somatic nuisance for the gullible & innocent youth---------not withstanding their advanced mental acumen.

You people start worrying with half or no knowledge. How ever, Yahoo Answers blog is an "oasis" in the desert of confusion and worry & the blog became a “safe sanctuary” for the poor, middle class & the gullible patients all over the globe. People with carcinophobia or cancerophobia live with an irrational dread of developing cancer. Every bodily discomfort becomes a sign for them that they have a malignant growth somewhere inside. A headache, for instance, is a sign for them that they have a brain tumor. A cyst/an enlarged lymph node, for instance, is a sign for them that they have lymphoma cancer. A cyst/an abscess/menses linked pustule on breast/armpit is taken as breast cancer. Mouth/gingivitis is taken as oral cancer.

Beware of Cancer Symptoms: Sudden loss of weight/stamina, anemia, unbearable pains in any organ despite medication, neuralgia, getting extremely tired for a little or no work, loss of appetite, unhealed wound in any part of the body for years together, chronic constipation, chronic hemorrhages, hemoptysis, etc. Cancer may affect from any organ to any organ[s]/system[s].
