4. Large breast tissue
is common in Klinefelter syndrome. It is also known as gynecomastia. This can cause men to develop breast cancer. Men with enlarged breast tissue need to have their breasts examined on a yearly basis as well. Men can check their breasts at home as well. A medical professional will show a man the proper way to give himself a self-examination at home.
It’s not to say that a man will develop breast cancer, but it’s a good idea to keep on top of things. Just like with all symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome, not every man will experience the same symptoms, but if he does, he will know what to expect and how to go about getting treatment. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Breast cancer can go undetected in men because they don’t do self-examinations and get yearly mammograms as women do. In fact, when a person thinks of breast cancer, they think of women.
