Sounds unbelievable, but men can get breast cancer as well. You need to see a doctor right away to be on the safe side.

Answer 9

i had one of those. it lasted 9 months. i talked to my doc and he said that breast tissue in both men and women is very sensitive. he said if you accidently injure yourself,even by a litte bit, this effect can happen. but i dont know first hand what you have, so i encourage you to see a doctor, just to be safe.

Don't delay.  Make an appointment to go to see a Doctor as soon as possible.
