What Are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer In Men?
Symptoms are very similar to those in women. Most male breast cancers are diagnosed when a man discovers a lump on his chest. However, unlike women, men tend to go to the doctor with more severe symptoms that often include bleeding from the nipple and abnormalities in the skin above the cancer. The cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes in a large number of these men.
The following are the most common symptoms of breast cancer in men. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: • breast lumps • nipple inversion • nipple discharge (sometimes bloody) • a pain or pulling sensation in the breast • skin or nipple changes, such as dimpling, puckering, redness, or scaling The symptoms of breast cancer may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
