What Causes Painful And Swollen Breasts In An Elderly Male?
I am 65, male, married. My breasts are swollen and painful when touched. What could be the underlying reasons? What steps should I be taking? This condition has been lasting for about 2 months. My doctor has no answer for this but I m concerned about it. Thanks.

Hello,
Swelling and pain in breasts can be due to hormonal imbalance. I suggest you to get an ultrasound breast to assess the status of mammary glands after consulting your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
