Breast Cancer – How To Perform Self Exam?

 In general, all men, especially those over the age of 60 and the men that exhibit increased risks of developing breast cancer can minimize the potential for metastasis with early detection by routinely performing a Male Breast Self Exam (MBSE).  A monthly self-screening is strongly recommended.

Set aside A Date Every Month To Perform Your Male Breast Cancer Exam

 By scheduling a monthly date on your calendar to perform your male breast cancer self exam, it is easier to remember when the screening is due.  This allows for easier detection of any normal vs. abnormal breast changes.

 Perform Your Own Breast Self Exam In A Shower/Bath

 Start by running warm water in the shower.  Lather the breast area with either soap or shower gel to generate a soapy, slippery layer on the breast. This allows for an easier examination of the breast by allowing the fingers to slide easily over the skin without any rubbing.

 Examine The Texture Of Your Breast

 Begin your breast-self-exam for breast cancer by raising your left arm up above your head and rest your left hand on the back of your neck.

Using your right hand, place your index, middle and ring finger together and use these 3 fingers to examine the texture of the left breast. Start by placing the 3 fingers flat on the skin at the outer edge of the left breast.  Press down on the 3 fingers and slowly move the fingers in small circles around the entire left breast.

 Check Your Nipple

 Using your index and ring fingers on the right hand, gently squeeze the left nipple between the fingers and examine any signs of discharge, retraction (drawing inwards towards the body) or puckering of the nipple.

 Check Both Sides

To perform your male_breast_cancer_self_exam on the right breast, reverse your hands and repeat the procedures outlined in steps 3 and 4.

 Visual Assessment

 To complete your breast self exam, rinse the breast off and towel dry. Using a mirror large enough to view both breasts simultaneously, examine them for asymmetry.  Be aware of any changes in the skin of the nipple such as a rash, skin puckering and/or dimpling.

Gynecomastia – Huge Male Breast Removed

I wrote many articles on Gynecomastia which is male breast reduction. While I was reading the papers I came across with shocking article where a doctor removed huge male breast. It was written in Daily Mail. I thought lets share with you Chinese farmer has huge male breasts removed after 10-year ordeal (to the relief of his wife) By Daily Mail

A Chinese farmer who had the biggest pair of male breasts ever seen, has reunited with his wife after an operation to remove them. Guo Feng, 53, said his unusual chest had made his life unbearable and his partner Jia Ling had moved out of their home because she could no longer bear the taunts from their neighbors. 

Mr Feng said: ‘About ten years ago my chest started to get larger but I didn’t think much of it as I was putting on weight all over. But in the last few years it had become unbearable.’

Reunited: Chinese dairy farmer Guo Feng is back with his wife Jia Ling. Mr Feng had an operation to remove the biggest pair of man boobs in the world.

The condition, known as gynecomastia, can affect men at any age and is usually caused by overeating or hormonal imbalances. Other rarer causes include kidney failure or genetic disorders.

The dairy farmer spent all his savings trying to get treatment before some sympathetic surgeons at a specialist clinic in Beijing took pity on him. They removed his breasts in a five hour operation for free.

However, the doctors are still baffled over what caused his breasts to balloon in size to such a Dr Zhang Lilan at the Jinan Chest Hospital in Beijing, said: ‘In my 30 years working here at the chest clinic I have never seen anything like it.

‘We wondered if he had eaten any poisons or contaminants but have found nothing after testing his blood. His genetic material is also normal. It is not a cancer. ‘It seems to be fatty tissue. The best we can suggest is that it is the biggest case of man boobs ever. We removed them and told him to eat less fatty foods in future and to have a healthier diet.’

Guo Feng finally prevailed on surgeons to help him after he developed a huge pair of breasts that made his life hell. Mr Feng is just relieved his decade-long ordeal is over. He had previously threatened to cut off his breasts himself if noone helped him.

‘I had bigger boobs then my wife – she got so many comments from our neighbours that she moved out to live with her mother,’ Mr Feng said. ‘It also made my work difficult. I have 20 cows on my farm. I sell the milk and butter at the market, and make about £120 a month. But things like milking and carrying buckets became quite hard. ‘If one of the calves got free and I had to run after it, when my boobs started heaving and bouncing.’ His wife has now returned to him together with their son LiWei.

Mr Feng said: ‘I think I’m the happiest man in the world right now, I know this wasn’t a lifesaving operation – I didn’t have cancer or anything – but I’m pretty sure there’s nobody who understands exactly how I felt. ‘My wife Jia Ling was being asked so many stupid questions by the other housewives whenever she went to the market. 

They would ask her if I still had anything, you know, down there. They told her at 40 she still had time to get another man. And with me having bigger breasts than her as you can imagine our sex life just vanished.

‘My son Xiaobo was 11 at the time – in middle school. He’d come home and say the boys were calling him the freak’s son. ‘The past few years have been hell – but now I can make a new start as a fresh man.’
