So. Approximately three or four weeks ago I saw my endo., who again pushed the idea or surgery, drugs, blah blah blah over the breasts. She examined them and the look on her face when the bra came off was, "holy shit..."
She then sent me for a second mammogram and ultrasound. This time around I actually got the US. The initial mamm. was fine, not too much pressure and the girl doing the scan I could tell was not overly enthusiastic over touching me. I get it. I didnt push anything or say anything. After a few min. she started to realize I wasnt going to hit on her or ask for numbers.
After a short time I was sent in for the US. That went fine, and the doctor who examined the images came in. A lady about 10 years ahead of me, she asked me the usual and customary.. you know about gyne...? thing.
She did however put a note into the charts that bothered me. She wanted to discuss the situation about poss. medication involvement and the changing of the medication and adding in a breast reduction type medication. Of which I then told her that the breast growth pre-dated my spiro use by years.
She seemed intent on getting me to go the 'surgery route." That I told her I was not interested in.
But on a more positive note, this latest scan solidly vindicates what i told alot of folk around me that this was happening:
#2590477 - DIGITAL BILAT DIAGNOSTIC MAMMO WITH CAD
#2590478 - US BREAST BILATERAL LIMITED
MALE BILATERAL DIGITAL DIAGNOSTIC MAMMOGRAM WITH CAD: 8/7/2026
CLINICAL: Increased breast size bilaterally in the last 6 months Palpable lump right breast.
Palpable lump left breast. Subareolar.
COMPARISONS: Comparison is made to exam dated: 2/11/2025 mammogram - High Resolution Rust.
TECHNIQUE: Current study was also evaluated with a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system.
BREAST TISSUE DENSITY: The breasts are heterogeneously dense, which may obscure small masses.
FINDINGS: There is a 9.5 cm irregular equal density asymmetry with an indistinct margin in the
right breast central to the nipple middle depth. This is increased in size and correlates with
area of clinical concern.
There is a 9 cm irregular equal density asymmetry with an indistinct margin in the left breast
central to the nipple anterior depth. This is increased in size and correlates with area of
clinical concern.
No other significant masses, vascular calcifications, or microcalcifications are seen in either
breast.
IMPRESSION: BENIGN
The 9.5 cm irregular equal density asymmetry in the right breast central to the nipple middle
depth is consistent with fibroglandular tissue and is indeterminate. An ultrasound is
recommended.
The 9 cm irregular equal density asymmetry in the left breast central to the nipple anterior
depth is consistent with fibroglandular tissue and is indeterminate. An ultrasound is
recommended.
LIMITED ULTRASOUND OF BOTH BREASTS: 8/7/2026
COMPARISONS: Comparison is made to exam dated: 2/11/2025 mammogram - High Resolution Rust.
TECHNIQUE: Color flow and real-time ultrasound of both breasts retroareolar were performed on
the areas of interest. Gray scale images of the real-time examination were reviewed.
Ultrasound elastography evaluation was performed on the lesions in both breasts.
FINDINGS: No masses seen. Breast tissue is seen suggesting gynecomastia.
Findings discussed with the patient by"X"
IMPRESSION: BENIGN
No masses seen. Breast tissue is seen suggesting gynecomastia. Recommend clinical follow-
up and correlation with possible side effect of current prescription and over the counter
medications.
There is no sonographic evidence of malignancy.
