Men's Breast Exam

I had breast exam either with ultrasound, because my breasts are a bit bigger than usual, so the doctor was aware of gynecomastia ..

I am due for my every 6 month routine physical next week and I will mention pain in my breasts. A few months ago, I noticed pain in my right breast, but no bruising as you would expect from a blow. Now I have it in both breasts. I push on them and I feel pain. A friend of mine asked me one time if men could get breast cancer. I told him it was possible, but rare. He got checked and he DID have breast cancer; in fact he died from it.

I've had colon and bladder cancer. Also had basal & squamous cell cancer on my skin. I don't take the possibility of ANY cancer lightly. If it's just for my peace of mind, I want this checked out soon.

Thanks for this topic. I think most men tend to "blow this off", not me!

The only time was by a nurse clinician when i was in my late 30 early 40. Isn't it arrange that i can't remember of she did a dre, but i can certainly remember the breast exam.

She said she felt something and her supervising (an older guy, as luck would have it checked.)

I have read more and more recently about the risk of breast cancer in males, however I don't recall ever receiving a breast exam during a physical.

Not routinely done at physical exams. should be done. men are at risk of developing breast cancer though the risk is significantly lower.

My primary case doctor does this as part of my physical every year. Seems to be the same procedure that she uses to examine a female based on what I know from my wife's exams.

I like it.

My female doctor would always give me a breast exam during my physical . Even sent me to get a mammogram as was experiencing breast pain . Found out meds were causing it. No big deal. , better. Safe than sorry .
