Could you be speaking of gynecomastia?  Many times, I do an ultrasound and mammogram on a male patient, and they appear negative (normal).  As it turns out, the man has gynecomastia.  You can read about it at the links I provided below.  Have you asked your doctor about this?  Do not be afraid to ask your doctor such questions.  We pay them to care for us!

How old are you?  If you are under 40 it is could be peri-menopause, but really, I would go to another doctor for a second opinion.

If you haven't had one already, ask about a PET scan. It's sorta like a CAT scan, but it's used to detect any cancer in the body. When my husband had cancer, it's what they used to see where it was, and then they used it once more after his treatment was finished to see if all of it was gone.  Also, ask about maybe getting put on a steroid. My grandfather-in-law, has some health issues, but he had gotten to where he would eat maybe once a day, if that. They put him on some sort of steroid(not sure of it's name)and now he eats like a pig.(good thing) \n  I would also consider going to a different doctor and letting them give you the once-over as well. Having a fresh set of eyes and a  mind on the case may help. I wish you the best, hope you get everything figured out and get to feeling better!

I was going to say stress but if you are not stressed than that couldnt be it.  Early menopause could be the issue.  Its unusual but not impossible.

First of all taking your age, please consider that your hormones are may getting messed up. the clots are actually a sight that your blood clots well. I would be more concerned if it would not.\n\nhave you hormones checked for post menopause...\n\nThe CA-125 test is not designed to be a screening test to detect ovarian cancer. I wish we had one. This test is strictly to monitor a patient. It is not a confirmation test either. Diagnostic is strictly on histology/ pathology samples.\n\nThe are also a good percentage of Ovarian cancers that do not produce that specific tumor marker.\nI am sorry to say this, but right now there is nothing better to screen than a thin- pap test.\n\nI am 20+ year in the medical technology field

From a professional standpoint I would get it checked.  There are programs out there to help you cover the costs of medical expenses.  A doctor cannot refuse you treatment due to inability to pay.  A really good program that could help you out is the Hill-Burton Act.  I spent many years working on an Oncology Unit (Cancer unit) in our local hospital and know that one of the signs of breast cancer is nipple discharge.  I don't want to scare you , only inform you.  Finding out now is best because there are treatments available that can stop the growth if it is cancer, and better to catch it early.  I will keep you in my prayers.

You could have cystic ovaries or endometriosis.  I would definately get to the gynocologist and have some tests run.

As a cancer nurse, I can not emphasize strong enough even MEN get breast cancer!!  I'm not saying you have cancer, but I would make an appointment to get it checked out, especially if you noticed changes.  It is most probably a mammary gland or lymph node, but I'd get it checked out to find out what it isn't.  Your body is going thru changes related to puberty, so it could be a hormonal thing. Yes, even men go thru hormonal changes too. You could also have your mom look at it, I know it sounds ickey, but (she probably knows how to do a breast exam on herself) she could touch the areas in question on you and she could give you insight on what is normal. If that grosses you out to much, just tell her you need an appointment with your Dr.

Breast Cancer is very rare before the age of 25, and age is the most significant risk factor. Many times young women find lumps in their breast, but this does not often indicate cancer. For your own peace of mind, please talk to your parents, and see your physician. Ask your physician as many questions as you like about self examination, I'm sure he/she will be happy to answer them. Try not to be scared. \n\nHere is an article with good info: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/4982-1.asp\n\nAlthough this forum is fun, and interesting, you can get alot of variation in answers from well meaning people. Sometimes these answers cause more anxiety than is necessary, and some are just flat out wrong.

It may be hormonal.  Get a saliva test to determine if you have an overabundance or lack of any feminine hormones.  If this proves positive, then also get tested for high insulin, as insulin is a hormone too, that controls the over- and under- production of many different body chemicals.

You could be fatigued, drinking too much, not getting enough exercise, bored or there could be physiological factors which require a doctor to address. Side note: I , too am 44. That's not "older". Properly maintained, you've got miles to go before you're eligible to be put out to pasture. Get yourself into optimal shape...do it sensibly and safely, but do it now. Viagra, be damned! (But a good multi-vitamin won't hurt). You can still bring the noise! Believe that.

It may just be that your estrogen levels are low.  This can happen at any age due to low body-weight/low body-fat.  Estrogen is produced by fat cells,  the fewer fat cells, the lower your estrogen levels.  \n\nLack of menses, presence of hot and cold spells, nightsweats, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails can all be signs of low e2 levels. \n\nThis can easily be remedied by using an estrogen patch or taking estrogen orally (not the same as birth control pills).  Your Gyn would be the person to talk to. \n\nHope this helps!

If your in your late thirties could be the beguining of change.If your wearing a IUD,then that could cause it.The best thing to do is go to your Doctor and get a check up.

i dont know about the other conditions,but one of the first signs of peri menopause is a burning sensation in tongue,caused by fluctuating hormone levels.if u are in upper 30's or more that might be the problem.

Sounds like a rush of a hormone? Which one not sure, I would see a doctor to get blood work done. You could be anemic? They might be able to help you with a pill? Or sometimes surgery? This is not normal after a 5 year break. Did you stop a medication suddenly? Been sick, in an accident? Sudden change in your life? the doctor will ask all those questions then order blood and urine test!
