Suggest Remedy For Lumps
My 54 year old husband who is in great shape due to working out with heavy weights 5-6 days a week, found a painful lump on his right "pec", as he refers to the area. He saw his Doctor yesterday who actually found (2) lumps. He sent him for a Mammogram that day. His Mother died of breast cancer in her early 40's.

Hi,
Mammogram result is essential to think about a breast cancer. The genes is not the same for males and females. Causes are also different.
Check, if the lump is fixed to underlying muscle/ chest wall. If it is not, it could be benign.
Fine needle aspiration cytology can be useful for confirmation of cause of lump. You can ask your doctor to get that test done.
Once cause is identified, it can be treated accordingly.
If you have any further queries, happy to help again .
