What Causes Enlargement Of Right Nipple When Compared To Left?
Hello, I’m 25 and in the process of losing weight. I’m currently being treated for hypertension and high cholesterol. I was overweight before at 250lbs now after 4mths of exercising I’m at 230. I just recently noticed however, that my right nipple is slightly larger in size than my left. There is no sensitivity even though it looks a bit swollen. What do you think it is? Possibly a case of gynecomastia? If so my chest does not have the appearance of breasts.

Hi,
There will always be a slight change in nipples compared to other. If there is a sudden change. You need to do a ultrasound to rule out and abscess / sudden underlying growth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
