Some days ago I had a discussion with a surgeon on gynecomastia. He stated that the risk for breast cancer is much higher in men with gyI'm livingnecomastia and recommended surgery.

What about the risk for breast cancer in men with gynecomastia really? Is it the same as in women without the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene? And what can I do for prevention? Breast self-examination or even a mammogram?

Thank you in advance for advice!

A bra is just an article of clothing for people with breasts.
