Boys' nipples are swollen
Nipple swelling generally occurs mainly in women, but some men also encounter similar phenomena. In addition to being very uncomfortable, it can also make male patients very embarrassed. In fact, there are many factors that cause nipple swelling in boys. We must understand the situation as soon as possible so that we can respond better. Let’s take a look at the main causes of swollen nipples in boys.
1. Breast hyperplasia, breast lump, accompanied by slight tenderness. The lump is mostly close to the periphery of the breast, often limited to one side, and appears cystic when enlarged.
2. Mastitis, acute suppurative mastitis, the local skin is red, swollen, hot and painful, tender lumps appear in the affected area, and systemic symptoms such as fever may occur at the same time.
3. Breast fibroma, clinically characterized by painless breast lumps as the main symptom, often occurs in the outer and upper parts of the breast. In a small number of cases, breast fibroadenoma and breast hyperplasia coexist, and there may be mild breast swelling and pain.
4. Gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a clinical condition caused by abnormal development of male breast tissue and abnormal proliferation of breast connective tissue due to an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen and androgen caused by physiological or pathological factors. Physiological breast development usually occurs in newborns, adolescence and old age. Pathological gynecomastia can be seen in congenital antesticular syndrome, testicular feminization, viral orchitis, testicular atrophy caused by trauma, testicular tumors, etc.
5. Men’s breast health care, diet and exercise are the key to prevention. The most important issue that should be paid attention to when it comes to abnormal male breast development is the risk of cancer. If the male breast develops normally, there is basically no possibility of cancer, but malignant lesions may still occur in male breast hyperplasia.Male breast hyperplasia is easily overlooked. If adult men have obvious abnormalities in chest development, they should go to the hospital in time. However, not all gynecomastia abnormalities require treatment. If it is not particularly serious, no treatment is required. However, remember that regular physical examinations are required every year to eliminate risks. It is best to make dietary adjustments under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, pay attention to developing good eating habits and not eating foods with added hormones. Try to keep alcohol and beverages to a minimum. Patients with breast abnormalities are advised to eat less fatty meat and soy products containing high estrogen.
