Breast Cancer Symptoms And What You Need To Know

Men & Breast Cancer

Although it is rare, men can also develop breast cancer at any age, although it is commonly seen in older men. Breast cancer is rarer in males because their breast cells are less developed than women’s. But, just like women, men also have breast tissue, and these cells can also develop cancerous cells.

The most common symptoms of breast cancer that a male can experience is a lump in the breast tissue, thickening of the breast tissue, nipple discharge, redness or scaling of the nipple, an inverted nipple, unusual redness, swelling, itchiness, or rash on the breast. Unfortunately, most men do not consider that they can develop breast cancer, therefore they do not regularly check their breast tissue for signs of lumps, resulting in male breast cancer being diagnosed much later.
