I am experiencing pain under right nipple. Is this a sign of breast cancer in males?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from pain on your right breast that probably under the nipple and it is painful to touch.

Some medical conditions can cause breast pain. When abnormal growth and swelling of breasts in men caused by excess amount of estrogen and less amount of testosterone production is known as Gynaecomastia. Cyst is a lump under the skin, and they contain fluid or air. They can cause breast pain. Putting extra pressure on the muscles can cause a strain.

Fat necrosis occurs where fat tissue becomes damaged. Fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous lump and can be developed in breats and occur rarely in males. Breast cancer is rarer but can occur in males. Again chest or cardiac abnormalities, acid reflux, back, neck, or shoulder pain may cause breast pain. Treatment depends on the causes.

You should undergo some investigations like mammogram, ultrasound scan, CT scan, biopsy, ECG (electrocardiography), CXR (chest x-ray), etc. To find out the underlying the causative culprit for your sufferings and treat them accordingly.
