My tit hurts!

OK so I am pretty sure a guy can’t get breast cancer but about a week ago I noticed a sore spot right under my left nipple, when I pressed on it I found a small lump and it was very tender. The lump seem to have gotten just a little bigger in the past week and there may even be some swelling of the left side of my chest and it is still painful, I know I need to go see a doctor to have it checked out but was wondering if anyone has experienced something like this or heard of anything that would cause a lump in a man’s chest like this?
I am wondering how worried I should be at this point so anything that could help would be appreciated and some positive vibes couldn’t hurt.
Thank.
Matt

Although it's rare, There have been cases of men getting breast cancer. If there is a lump, I'd get it checked out. Most likely a benine (sp) cyst, but if it hurts, I'd play it safe and go see the Doc.

Matt, acutally men do get breast cancer, it's just not talked about much. You probably have something quiet benign, but best to get checked out pronto. Phil

I am planning on calling on Monday to get an appointment with my GP but have to keep it on the QT, my wife is suffering from extreme depression right now and I really don’t want her to have just another thing to stress over, so I think I will just do it and when I find out what it is then tell her.
With out luck it will be cancer, our luck when it comes to medical things the last four years has just been horrible.

Matt hun,
Don't borrow trouble ok? It's not worth it.
Worrying about what might happen and it doesn't means you've worried in vain. Worry about it and it does happen then you've worried twice.
Seems like a whole lot of wasted energy right?
I'm working very hard to practice this myself right now. You know you have us here to lean on...

That’s what I figure it is and was hopping it would be gone in a week, but it’s still here so off to the doctor to make sure it’s nothing to worry about.
Better safe then sorry.

Or Mastitis - an infection in the breast tissue.
See here for an almost identical description to yours:

Best of luck - keep us posted.

(p.s. I knew a guy in HIGH SCHOOL who had breast cancer.)

Are you taking any medications ? I know of certain medications that will cause swelling of the breast tissue on a man. Either way you should have this checked immediately. Good luck.

Matt,
You must go get this checked by the Doc, I had the same thing last year and ended up going for Breast X rays and scans. Mine was small cysts which were dealt with easily. The Doc that dealt with me told me that some of the pills I have taken over the years may have contributed to these.. Breast Cancer is rare in men but not unknown
Cheers Roy

The fact that it hurts is a good sign. Also, the size increasing so much in one week is another good sign. I'd bet money that it is either a hormone upset or a cyst.
Cancer of the breast in men is not uncommon today. Actually, the incedence is quite high. Men just don't go to the doctor as often as they should. That's why women live longer. Women get problems corrected more often than men do. That's a sad fact as many men could be around a lot longer if they would just go to the doctor for routine check-ups or as soon as they suspect a problem.
Praying that yours is a quick fix......keep us posted.

Talking from experience men can and do get breast cancer although more men die from testicular cancer than women do breast cancer which quite surprised me...however Matt to ignore this lump and swelling would be stupid so im glad you booked in to the docs....wishing you luck....I actually wish my tit would hurt but as I now have none I don't suppose it will lol....looking on the bright side....girls if you are lucky enough to come across any swelling on or near your breasts then you know what we say in england ....don't look a gift horse in the mouth!!!  
Waiting to hear how you got on ....

Just got back from the doctors, he said that he thinks it is probably just a cyst but we should have an ultrasound to make sure. I call and they say I need a mammogram not an ultrasound, ok fine, but then she tells me they are booked out through April, I can understand putting it off that long for a woman that is just doing her annual like my wife does each year but I have a lump that hurts so we are not looking for one but are trying to make sure it’s not cancer.
They are going to try and get me in sooner and are supposed to call me back, so guess we will see, can’t believe they would make someone wait that long for something that the doctor wants you to have, that’s just nuts!
Matt.

April is bullshit... I agree with you. I would call around and book my own appointment. Serious shit, that.
You are probably just growing bitch-tits. No worries.

Call your doc back and tell them what's going on. That's bullshit about being booked up uthru April.
Otherwise, just have someone get two 5 X 5 pieces of wood, put your tit between the two pieces of wood and have them squeeze as hard as they can. That way you'll be primed for when you have the real ultrasound.

Matt,
Call your local Chap. of the American Cancer Society. The number of MEN with breast cancer will astound you!
That is NOT to scare you.really, it is just to educate you.
That being said, anytime you are dealing with POTENTIAL cancer, early detection and rapid treatment are VITAL.
When you speak to the ACS, asl if there is a breast cancer screening going on nearby.
That being said, I hope it's nothing like what your FRIENDS have suggested her.WROKKKK!!!!!!!
Keep us posted!
