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? I can feel breast development in my breast, but can I feel breast tissue inside the nipple?Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: There is no breast tissue in the nipple. Gynecomastia in males is characterized by a round lump that can be felt behind the areola.Recommendation: It is recommended to visit a breast surgery department for examination. Visual and tactile examination can provide a preliminary diagnosis, and if necessary, a color ultrasound can be performed to aid in confirmation.
