Q: Lump Under Nipple (man Boob) Making Me Insecure

I'm 21 very fit. I have been going to the gym on a regular basis for 2 years and have a body I am very proud of.

Problem is less than a week ago my right nipple has become a bit swollen, my left one is absolutely fine. Feels like there is a hard lump/disc of fat underneath it. Even though I have good pectoral muscles it makes my chest look pointy (man boob). As you can imagine this is very embarassing as I am getting very close to someone I fancy who always complements my physique. Last thing I want to do now is take my shirt off now!

I have been searching and reading stuff on the net and think it is gynecomastia which apparently is normal in 10-21 year olds. Normally caused by having too high bodyfat, or imbalances in hormones - testosorone and estrogen. It should return to normal without any special treatment.

It will be a month before I chase this girl up as we are at uni and go home for xmas. So my question is, is there anything I can do to speed up getting back to normal? Would some sort of anti estrogen supplement help? Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do, what happened?

Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

I think you should see your doctor. It's rare but men can get breast cancer too and I think you should get a proper diagnosis before you try treating yourself, just in case.

Good luck with the girl Wink

Hhhhmmmm
That is strange. My nipples became hard during 8th grade, but that can happen normally during puberty and what ur experiencing probably has nothing to do with that. I dunno, but good luck with the girl and see a doctor if convenient!

I can relate. About three weeks ago i found a small lump under my left nipple. It's sore to the touch and is very small. I'm checking a doctor out today. I'll make a reply on what i find out. Wish me luck.

Hey. I have the same problem! It's my right nipple that there's sort of a small lump formed. The only thing is, I'm not in the best of shape. I am a little overweight so I don't know if it'll be the same thing or different.
I'd like to ask bamadude123 what their diagnosis was?
I am a bit worried as this is coming at a time where I am also worried about the prospect of contracting HIV through unprotected sex.
I am worried and would just like to see how other people were diagnosed so I can prepare myself when going to see a doctor.
