Gynecomastia Growth?

[Bcup breasts]

I am relatively new to posting much here. I am wondering about what feelings in the breast do you have when you are growing? I have gradually grown since I developed breasts about 4 to 5 years ago, and never really felt anything. But within the last week or so, I have this feeling in my breasts, that I can only describe as a "full" feeling, especially going towards the underarm. Has anyone had this type of feeling with growth?

the typical sensation some describe as being "cool" and unsettling. 

I describe it as "Microscopic Poprocks" going off in the breasts. 

I also have a feeling of discomfort that includes a "pushing sensation" and as you describe a "full" feeling.

Thank you for your response, I greatly appreciate it

I have wondered about this as well.

For the last few years I have these episodes of what I call discomfort. It's sort of like a dull ache, but sometimes it gets more painful. I wear a bra daily, and there are times when I feel like my boobs are pushing out against my bra.

A couple of years ago I was having these feelings almost daily. But for most of this year it has just been intermittent; a few days and then nothing for a few weeks, and then back for a day or two again.

It's a hard feeling to describe, and I've talked to my Dr about it, but unfortunately, there really is nobody else to talk to.

The feeling I sometimes get is like an itch or tingle inside my breast somewhere behind my nipple.  It's not on the surface of the skin but somewhere inside.. it's not painful or unpleasant.  I think it is usually associated with breast growth.as mine have grown a little bit recently.   It might be time for you to get a new bra?

Last night and this am I woke up with sore breasts. measurements are showing the steady larger-smaller pattern that was so evident in the initial growth phase.

I am about Tanner Type 3 like many men, and not quite to the "pencil test" phase. 

But the soreness is unmistakable.  They are growing.

I can pass the "smartphone test". I have done it several times around the house using my boob as a 'hands free' device.

Had the sensations described.
Passed the pencil test at about aC cup
Developed a Prolactinoma in January and fluffed out a whole lot more. Depending on the make I get into a D cup at times .
The weirdest sensation is ‘let down’ as the breast was preparing to lactate.
It’s probably an underdiagnosed condition with many ED , fatigue, low T symptoms in common.
The pituitary tumor is under control with chemo but I still get the ‘feelings’ lately and it feels like I am growing slowly.
More bloodwork next month to clarify a complex picture.

This is what I've been feeling more often lately too. It's not constant, and not every day, but often enough for me to notice it compared to never feeling it previously. I have not grown though.

In my case, mine "budded" with hard lumps under the nipples. Being concerned I went to my GP who was a female being that she palpated (felt) the lumps and I was in distress over the possibility of breast cancer she ordered a mammogram which came out positive as gynecomastia. 

Afterwards, the "buds" continued to expand in width and depth and started to hurt... sometimes a lot and the nips itched all the time which grew from ~3/4" to nearly 2". 

For the past year the pain mostly is gone, their growth has slowed and the buds have begun to soften. 

AFAIK, these invariably are the symptoms of gynecomastia and anyone concerned who has budded REALLY needs to see their GP and if appropriate get the mammogram.

No buds? I think you should rest easy.

Excellent!

Well done on being proactive! I just read the following article on why it is so important to get lumps checked out. Obviously, the gentlemen in the article didn't have our knowledge to start with, so their lumps were an immediate concern. They didn't dismiss it as just budding. Sometimes, I worry that our collective knowledge here about budding and growth could cloud our judgement. Although we are all aware that breast cancer in men is a real possibility, it is still comparatively rare, but please y'all, if you detect lumps, get them checked just in case!
