Boys have breast lumps

Breasts don’t have much effect on boys, so many people tend to ignore their existence. Don’t think that only girls’ breasts will have health problems. In fact, boys’ breasts sometimes also have health problems. As a part of the human body, breast health is affected by personal emotions and lifestyle. Therefore, if you have lumps or pain in your breasts, you should pay attention, as there may be some problems. So what does it mean when boys have lumps in their breasts?

1. The period when boys grow into men is called puberty, which is the most significant period of physical development for boys.

2. During this period, boys' bodies will secrete strong growth hormones, including more estrogen than normal.

3. This is why there will be lumps in the breast, and pain when pressing.

4. It should be noted that breast lumps should appear below the nipple. If they appear over a large area, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time.

5. If you find a lump in your breast during puberty, you must not press or squeeze it. It is best to wear loose clothes to avoid putting pressure on the lump.

What is the cause of the hard lump in the boy's chest?

Breast development is generally the first sexual change that occurs in girls during puberty. This is mainly due to the high level of estrogen secreted by the female ovaries, which stimulates the development of mammary alveoli and mammary ducts, causing the breasts to bulge. However, some boys who have reached puberty may occasionally feel a little pain in their breasts. When they touch them carefully, they find lumps in their breasts, which makes them feel anxious. ?

In fact, breast lumps during male puberty are normal physiological changes. The breasts are mainly composed of mammary tissue, fat and connective tissue. There are special structures on the surface of mammary cells that can recognize and accept estrogen. When estrogen binds to the receptors of breast cells, the metabolism of breast cells becomes active, causing breast cells to proliferate and the breasts to develop and bulge. ?

After male adolescents enter puberty, their testicles secrete a small amount of estrogen while producing androgens, but the amount is extremely small. Estrogen causes breast cells in the nipple area to proliferate continuously, leading to the formation of lumps in the breast. Breast lumps in adolescent boys are often limited to the area below the nipples and may sometimes be painful when touched. According to a survey, among male adolescents aged 13-15, 1/3-2/3 were found to have unilateral or bilateral nipple protrusion, an increase in the diameter of the areola, and pigmentation, but less than 1/5 had breast nodules.
