Patient's question:
Description of the problem: What is the reason for a small lump in the breast of an adult male? It doesn't cause pain, but it can be distinctly felt as a small lump on the fascia, about one centimeter in size. If medication is used, what is the best type of medication to use? Can surgery be used as a method?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The clinical symptoms of male breast cancer are typically painless lumps, usually located under the areola, where the male breast tissue is concentrated, and the lumps grow rapidly. When patients seek medical attention, the lump is not the only symptom. Nipple discharge is more common in male breast cancer. Additionally, nipple retraction and skin changes are also more frequent compared to female breast cancer. We found that about half of the axillary lymph nodes can be palpated in newly diagnosed male breast cancer patients. When a man's breast shows the following conditions, he should seek medical attention promptly: lumps and swelling, skin indentation and wrinkling, nipple inversion, redness of the nipple or breast skin, abnormal nipple size, and nipple discharge. It is recommended to visit the hospital for an early examination. In fact, many people with breast cancer can also regain a healthy life. This is because they have used ginseng essence extract, ginsenoside Rh2, in adjuvant therapy. Ginsenoside Rh2 can effectively regulate the human immune system, inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, and has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on malignant tumors such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and glioma. It is suitable for tumor patients, severely ill individuals, and the elderly or frail.
