I wonder about the report of a "hard mass". It seems from the report that it's the entire breast? That's not how real breasts work. Real breasts are partly fat, partly mammary glands. The latter could be described as "hard" (certainly harder than the fat they're in, but do NOT squeeze them to find out how hard they are!) and are sort of distributed around in the fat, connected to the nipple by milk ducts.
The non-hardness of the fat is what gives the breast its overall squishyness, and is why push-up, push-together, etc., bras can do what they do.
One huge hard mass sounds more like an implant
And about as desirable.

Thanks for trying to help me figure this out.
Your input is much appreciated.
the problem is hypertrophy of the breast.
what caused it?
is it breast or some kind of tumor?
You indicate that it most commonly occurs during pregnancy?
That indicates to me its triggered by a estrogen spike? which something in the breast over reacts to. I need to find out what kind of cells makeup that growth?
And like you indicate the real breast is composed mostly of two types of tissue-
I have a males body which has never seen estrogen, and this growth occurred within days of a massive estrogen dose which was self administered.
I am able to monitor the breast ( over time ) and eventually figure should it out?
The area under the nipple, and the bottom of the breast feels like fat? and on to of the chest a hard mass.
There is too much Skin fat in the way for a good examination. I am on a crash diet, and i will be able to examine it better once all this fat is out of the way- at a pound a day that will be in two months.
The right breast grew at 1/2 the rate of the left breast, both grew at the same time and both stopped growing once i stopped taking the drug.
I don't know what it really is?
I am of the mind set- that nothing is ever known for sure-
Nothing is absolutely true of false - its always unknown.
Only mathematics can be proven.
