left side breast swelling and had pain on it
Ask your Dr to order a mammogram and ultrasound of your breast. A Radiologist will read the images and determine if it is gynecomastia or something else. It could be hormone related. Sometimes medications can cause gynecomastia.....certain antidepressants, cimetidine, antiandrogens, diazepam, digitalis, marijuana, and certain steroids. At your age, it could also be an increase in hormones.....
I think seeing a specialist is a good suggestion, for your peace of mind!
Insurance covers gynemastia in males. If you get it removed, than you won't worry any more.
The lump could possibly be hormone related but that usually occurs in younger males ... still a possibility though. I wouldn't be thinking cancer; especially at your age. Most lumps will be painful to some extent. The lump could be removed but you would need to see a Breast Specialist to determine the exact cause before making any decision about removal. If the lump continues to become larger or more painful I think seeing the Specialist would be a good idea. Regards ....
