ENHANCED BREAST SCREENING

WOMEN’S HEALTH

After menopause

The activity in the milk-producing tissue stops, and breasts tend to feel softer and less lumpy.

03. Male breast

Although breasts don't develop in men the way they do in women, all boys are born with a small amount of breast tissue. A lot of things can trigger the hormone imbalance that causes male breast growth, and many times the exact cause isn't known.

Men can also develop breast cancer, so if you feel a lump in your breast, please contact Welbeck’s Enhanced Breast Screening to be seen by a specialist.

04. Gynecomastia symptoms

Your first sign of gynecomastia may be a lump of fatty tissue under the nipple, which can sometimes be tender or sore. Uneven swelling of the breasts may also happen, with one becoming larger than the other.

This condition can be related to a hormonal imbalance or a side effect of medication, although additional tests may be considered to determine a cause.
