Yesterday I felt a lump in my right breast, I don't have breasts as in the traditional lady breasts, what's the male equivalent, booby? Above the nipple, quite large 10cm diameter lump, it was hard but after poking and pushing it about for a while the hardness has subsided and now feels like a grisly lump, it moves around. Has anyone had this? I phoned the docs but they said ring back Tuesday morning, after reading I don't think it's serious but as men we fear the worst.
I haven't been to the gym for months, so I don't think its a strain, my alcohol consumption have increased exponentially since March due to not having to wake at 7am. Obviously, no one here will know what it is but I feel better posting and someone may have had a similar 'lump/

biggrin I tried to see a doc but got poo-pooed when I rang to call back next week. I will seek advice as soon as possible and will report back with the synopsis! I'm not too worried as I don't have any symptoms of C, NHS website, it could be a limpoma condition but the lump isn't visual, I will see. Just an odd lump which is odd...

Thank you for all your comments! It's a cyst apparently, I have been asked to monitor for the next 3 weeks. Just a phone chat from the doc but the description of the lump, location and other symptoms seem to suggest a cyst. Can't believe I only noticed it a few days ago.

Hello, OP here.

Hopefully to ease folks minds about their lumps. Mine disappeared after a few weeks, it may have been a muscle tear. I would have liked access to a doctor or nurse at the time so if you are worried please persist in seeing someone.
