Title: Does soreness indicate it's still growing?
Post by: balambala on August 29, 2008, 01:19:47 PM

Does soreness, time from time, or a sort of slight "jolting" or "pulsating" pain in the chest tissue area indicate that it's still growing, or could it just be doing that without growing?

Thank You.

I believe that means that it could be growing or perhaps shrinking.

Soreness and tenderness can be Symptoms of Gynecomastia (http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/procedure_folder/male_breast/gynecomastia_symptoms.htm).  Gland under hormonal stimulation can be tender, itchy, sore, and uncomfortable as the gland expands.  These symptoms can also be a product of trauma, infection, healing, and other medical conditions.

Hope this helps,
