Patient's question:
I have been fond of pinching my left nipple since I was a child. Now, my left nipple is larger than the right one, but there is no noticeable change in my breast. Recently, I came across the term "gynecomastia," and I'm a bit confused. Is my left nipple enlarged due to pinching, or do I have this condition? Can I feel breast development in my breast, and can I feel breast tissue inside the nipple?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Your condition may be gynecomastia in men, which is more common in adolescents and the elderly. Suggestions: Generally, no special treatment is needed, as it can resolve on its own. It is recommended to observe the situation, reduce touching, and if it grows rapidly, surgical removal may be necessary. The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects women's health but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
