Patients should note that the breasts are considered to be the upper ventral region of the torso, and female breasts contain mammary glands. These glands create breast milk, allowing women to feed their infant children. Male breast tissue and female breast tissue are one in the same, except during puberty an increase in estrogen allows the female breasts to complete their production and become more prominent. While breast cancer is much more common in women than in men, it is still possible for men to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
If a patient has any concerns regarding his or her breast tissue, he or she should take the time to set up a consultation appointment with Dr. Mobley. At this appointment, Dr. Mobley can complete an exam, evaluation and assessment as well as provide recommendations for the patient. Dr. Mobley understands that this can be a scary time for patients.
