WHY I AM GROWING BREASTS NOW
I AM A MALE 56 OF AGE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO I WAS TELLING MY WIFE MY BREASTS WERE HURTING AND THEY WERE GETTING TO LOOK LIKE A YOUNG GIRLS SET. SHE NOTICED BUT THOUGHT I WAS JUST GAINING WEIGHT. WELL THE PAIN HAS GONE FROM BOTH OF THEM BUT THEY ARE STILL THERE. IT IS EMBARRASING TO WALK AROUND WITHOUT A SHIRT THESE DAYS.
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED? IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO RID MYSELF OF THESE.
I AM LOOKING INTO GETTING AN OPERATION IF THEY WON'T GO AWAY. I DON'T WANT TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE BUT I AM THAT SELF CONSIOUS OF THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO TO RID MYSELF OF THIS PROBLEM. AM I LACKING IN A VITAMIN OR SOME KIND OF SUPPLEMENT? PLEASE HELP ME SOON THE SUMMER IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND I LOVE THE BEACH.

Hormonal changes can explain the breast enlargement, known as gynecomastia.
Obtaining blood hormone tests, specifically the thyroid and prolactin level, should be done. I would also image the breasts with an ultrasound to exclude a cancer.
This should be evaluated by your personal physician, as well as in consultation with an endocrinologist.

A related discussion, HAS ANYONE IN THEIR MID 50'S HAD PROBLEMS WITH GROWING BREASTS WHO IS A MAN? PLUS THEY HURT TO THE TOUCH. THEY HURT VERY MUCH. was started.
YOU HAD SUCH INSITE TO MY PROBLEM. SO WHEN I SAW ANOTHER CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH YOU I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME VERY BIG PROBLEMS WITH CRAMPING. I MEAN THEY ARE SO BAD I AM ALMOST IN TEARS. I HAVE BEEN ON VERY STRONG PAIN MEDICATION FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS. THE MEDICATION IS 30 MIL MORPHINE 10 MIL OF METHDONE AND I ALSO HAVE VALUIM 10 MIL. THROUGHOUT THE DAY I TAKE
4 MORPHINES AND MAYBE 5 METHADONES. THE ONLY TIME I TAKE THE VALIUM
IS IF I CANNOT SLEEP. THE REASON I TAKE THESE DRUGS IS, I WAS IN A MOTORCYCLE ACC. AND BROKE MY LEG AND MY LEG DID NOT HEAL RIGHT. I WENT TO DR. AFTER DR. SINCE THE ONE WHO SET THE LEG IN THE FIRST PLACE RETIRED. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE X-RAYS-MRI'S AND CAT SCANS.
THEY SAW NOTHING SO THEY GAVE ME DRUGS. I WAS TELLING THE DRS. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG STILL WITH MY LEG. SO AFTER SEEING 5 DRS. THE 6TH DR. HOLDS THE CAT SCAN UP IN A HALLWAY LIGHT AND SAYS I SEE WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR LEG AND TELLS ME IT DID NOT HEAL RIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. AFTER A 5 HOUR OPERATION AND 8 SCREWS AND A PLATE IN MY LEFT LEG. THE PAIN WAS GONE. I HAD TO RETIRE FROM WORK. I CAN'T STAND ON MY LEFT LEG FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME NOW THAT I FAVOR MY RIGHT LEG, MY BACK IS WORSE THEN IT WAS BEFORE. I HAVE DEGENERATED DISKS AND A HOST OF OTHER THINGS NOW WRONG WITH ME. THEY WANT TO OPERATE ON MY BACK. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT WANT THEM TO TOUCH MY BACK. I HAVE FRIENDS AND I HAVE SEEN THAT AFTER THE OPERATION THEY ARE WORSE OFF AND TAKING STRONGER MEDICATION. I DO NOT WANT THAT. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW BAD MY PAIN IS WHEN I GET THE CRAMPS. I GET THEM IN MY LEGS. MY BACK CALFS, HANDS AND JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE LOWER PORTION OF MY BODY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK THE PROBLEM IS.
YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH BEFORE WITH YOUR ANSWERS. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM.
THANK YOU DR. PHO AND ALL YOU, THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SITE. BY FAR THIS SITE IS ONE OF THE BEST ONES THAT ARE IN MY FAVRITES.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. DENNIS G

MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH MORE HAPPINESS THEN YOU CAN EVER WANT OR NEED.
