Women can have a whole lot of symptoms to deal with right before their periods.  Bloating, swelling of their feet and ankles, nausea, crave chocolate, mood swings and a whole bunch more.  Doctor's often contribute it to hormones.  Hormones can cause all kinds of things to women.  You are not alone.  Many women suffer this and other symptoms right before their periods.  \n\nGood luck to you and I hope I was helpful to you!

The women have always told me not to touch their nipples when they are close to their period so I am guessing that this a normal thing,but as with any major changes in body functions or reactions,If the pain is alot worse than normal for you,I would recommend seeing your family doctor.\n\nGood luck with those nipples.I hope the pain subsides for ya soon.

Yes, I know for a fact that men can get breast cancer. But usually they refuse to be tested for it, and it turns fatal. Trust me, You are going to have to go to the doctor if you are having any of the following symptoms..\n\n1) Any discharge from your nipple.\n2) Any lumps or bumps that aren't normal.\n3) Any swelling of the affected breast.\n4) Usually there is no pain affecting the breast if it is \n   cancer, but if you are having pain, there could many \n   reasons, among them cancer. Usually there is no pain, but\n   you should get checked if you have pain in your breast.\n\nFor you family, for yourself, for anyone, for YOU mostly, you are going to have to go to the doctor. I have a Daddy who refuses to go, and I'm watching him die, very very slowly, every day there is something else with him. Now, being a nurse, I can call his doctor and request certain medications, but not everything he needs, nor can I make him go to the doctor as he is frightened of what they may find. So, PLEASE, SWALLOW YOUR DAMN PRIDE, AND GO!! Hopefully you'll find that there isn't anything, but you have to see a doc to find out. Good Luck and GOD BLESS YOU!

They're called Montgomery's glands, and they're normal.  They can swell up and become more noticeable at certain times as your hormone levels change.  If they start to hurt or something, you should probably talk to a doctor, but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Earlier I told you about thrombosis, but with the swollen tummy, I don't expect that so much. I expect you are just retaining water. This could be because of your menstral cycle. My tummy and my legs do that too.\n\nDon't worry about it too much!

Please get evaluated by a physician.  Don't wait six days for this question forum to end.  Although the cause could be benign, male's can and do get breast cancer.  Other causes of breast pain with discharge include tumors of the pituitary gland - that's in your skull.

I am a Certified Breast Care Consultant.  It could be an infection of his lobules, which needs a doctor, or it could be a sign of breast cancer... Breast cancer does occure in men although you don't hear much about it.  Other signs of a possible IBC (Inflammitory Breast Cancer) are retracting of the nipple, change in color of the areola (around the nipple) warm sensation, itching or burning, and many others.  This kind of cancer is not detectible by the usual breast exams. It requires a needle punch biopsy, they would insert a needle and remove a core of a few layers. Much like getting a piercing.  Because it is not a lump, it grows outward in 'sheets'.  If you get it checked out, bring up IBC because it is the fastest growing type of breast cancer, but has not been extensively studied.  Some doctors arent well educated of the type.  Best wishes.

Implantation Bleeding:\nImplantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping. \n\nOther Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.\n\nDelay/Difference in Menstruation:\nA delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test\n\nOther Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.\n\nSwollen/Tender Breasts:\nSwollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.\n\nFatigue/Tiredness:\nFeeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception. \n\nOther Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.\n\nNausea/Morning Sickness:\nThis well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.\n\nBackaches:\nLower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.\n\nHeadaches:\nThe sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.\n\nFrequent Urination:\nAround 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom. \n\nOther Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.\n\nDarkening of Areolas:\nIf you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker. \n\nOther Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.\n\nFood Cravings:\nWhile you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy. \n\nOther Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Hormones (changes in your menstrual cycle) can make the breasts sore.  You might try cutting down on caffeine (coffee, soda, tea) as they have found a link between that and sore breasts.

Contrary to popular belief you should worry about a growth or lump if it does not hurt more than you should if it does not. This is so because if the lump does hurt chances are high that you may have hurt your self. Sometimes a person develops lumps during their period.\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is more likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is firm and hard \nThe lump is not discrete; it is not easily distinguishable \nThe lump is fixed in the breast; it does not move \nThere is only one lump \nThere is not an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe skin of breast is dimpled \nThe lump is accompanied by bloody nipple discharge\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is less likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is soft \nThe lump is discrete; it is easily distinguishable \nThe lump moves in the breast \nThere are multiple breast lumps \nThere is an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe lump disappears after the menstrual cycle \n\n\nAs women we should check our breasts monthly preferably a week after our pereods.\nA self examination is easy and essential.\nheres how you go about doing it.\nLie down with a pillow or folded towel under the right shoulder and place the right arm behind the head. Check the entire breast and armpit area using the pads of the first three middle fingers on the left hand to feel for lumps, changes, or irregularities in the right breast. Apply 3 pressures-light, medium, and deep-in dime-sized circles to feel the entire thickness of the breast." A firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast is normal. The exam should then be repeated on the left breast, using the finger pads of the right hand (the pillow or folded towel should also be moved under the left shoulder at this time).\nIt is important to thoroughly examine the entire area of the breast every month: \nOutside: armpit to collar bone, and below the breast \nMiddle: the breast itself \nInside: the nipple area \n\ncancerous tumors are more likely to be found in some parts of the breast than in others. Approximately half of all breast cancers occur in the upper, outer region of the breast toward the armpit. \n\nApproximate percentage of breast cancers found in each area:\n41% in the upper, outer quadrant \n14% in the upper, inner quadrant \n5% in the lower, inner quadrant \n34% in the area behind the nipple \n6% in the lower, outer quadrant \n\nI suggest you visit your gp asap. If its nothing to worry  about, you be in a better state of mind, if there is the earlier you treat it the better.\n\nI hope that yoursare just a lump and that you will be fine\nGood Luck

According to what I just read, you probably have no cause to worry.  HOWEVER, it would be wise to see your doctor. And get a mammogram if necessary.  Have you examined your breasts lately?? Are you on birth control pills.??  \n\nI tried to bring forward the address for the info I found but it wouldn't work so,---go to Yahoo and enter the search words "nipple discharge" (type it exactly that way).\nI had several hits but #1 was the best.  It lists causes and describes symptoms to cause concern.  \nGood luck! and God Bless!!
