What Causes Tenderness In Breast Nipple In Men?

I have same problem as the woman but I am a male. The nipple on left breast is very tender for about seven days now. I am currently in remission for lung cancer for which I received 30 radiation treatments and 15 chemo treatments from 9/13 thru 4/14.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

I understand your concern. Radiation may cause inflamamtion of breast tissue causing pain and swelling. Some of the drugs can aslo cause this. As a doctor I would like to suggest you to visit your treating doctor instead of asking questions online for this. Hope this helps you. All the best.
