Male WORRIED

I’m 22 and found a lump in my breast. It’s on the left side. It’s hard, causes a little bit of pain, painful nipple, I’m not sure if it’s movable or not…I’m a big guy too if that makes any difference. I’m so scared right…my head is going in overdrive.I will book an appointment on Monday to get it checked but I’m seriously worried!! 

Hi Mo123 and well done for reaching out to us all. I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling, but pleased to hear that you’ll see your GP on Monday. Insist on being seen!

Your lump might well be what we call a gynaecomastia, which is quite common - but you must get it checked out regardless!

Try not to panic - you’re young and healthy - the GP will most likely be able to reassure you.

Please let us know how you get on? X
