Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old male. My complaint is that I have a breast lump in my right breast lower outer quadrant. I noticed it three days ago. I have pain at that site. I also noticed redness in the surrounding areas. I have poor beard growth and chest hair so I suspect that it could be gynecomastia. Can gynecomastia be tender and painful? I also suspect myself of having Klinefelter's syndrome. However, I do not consider my genitals to be of small size. I am worried that the lump could be a carcinoma as I have learned that there is an association between Klinefelter's syndrome and carcinoma. Please help me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Most probably it is gynecomastia as it is common in young age and may cause pain. Although, breast cancer is rare in males, it is more aggressive with rapid growth and spread. I suggest that you take painkillers and send me a photo of the red lump Also if you have noticed any swellings in the armpits, please tell me. In general, you should not worry, but be a little cautious.
