The 6mg Risperdal gave me men boobs. I am worried about getting breast cancer as sometimes my right breast hurts, maybe its just the muscle idk
I just read that 1 in 100 breast cancer patients is male but can the risperdal worsen or cause it?
Yeah, I believe that it’s possible.
I have had an issue with area of my left breast feeling weird/hurting as well. I think mine is just the muscle.
Is it deep or superficial? I used get deep pain on the left chest side but I think its my heart as I couldn’t breath for a second. It doesn’t happen anymore, weird. But now pain is on right breast, superficial. It feels like its the muscle but how to be sure?
I think the vaping isnt helping it.
Yeah, I had a hard time telling if it was deep or superficial as well. I brought it up with my GP, and since I have risk factors as well, she is now having me do all these heart tests that I have mentioned on the forum before. I got a letter in the mail today saying that my stress test results “were in the normal range” though so…
Does having men boobs increase risk for breast cancer?
I don’t know for sure off the top of my head but I would guess yes. When you have more mass of fat there I would guess that it would at least slightly increase your chances.
" Dense breasts make it harder for doctors to see breast cancers on mammograms. This increases the risk that cancers will be missed. Women with dense breasts have a higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to women who don’t have dense breasts. The greater the amount of dense tissue , the higher the risk."
I hate these psych meds, I guess the brain is the most important organ so I need my meds. I would rather die sane than dying insane.
I just found this too, I think men boobs are 10x more likely to get cancer. Sucks.
It was also determined that gynecomastia, independent from both Klinefelter syndrome and obesity, was associated with a 10-fold increased risk of breast cancer in men.
NIH study confirms risk factors for male breast cancer - National Cancer Institute.
I experienced pain in pecs while on amisulpride. There was no breast enlargement. Pain appeared three or four times max.
All necessary anatomical structures are there for breast formation in men. And there are men who have developed breast cancer.
A month or two ago read about an elderly man having diagnosed with breast cancer.
Yea thats why men can lactate too when prolactin is high. Invega, Risperdal and Amisulpride all increase prolactin. I think two male users here lactated, one was on risperdal afaik.
That’s great! I’m Glad to hear it.
Yes @Aziz, Risperdal can cause gynecomastia and breast cancer in both females and males.
I’ve got a mild case of man boobs but it could be because of my obesity.
I think one thing you can do to relieve your negative symtoms and boredom
is to do something productive, most people do it, that’s why they don’t have time to worry all of a sudden.
worying happens because you get lost in thought and you get bored so your mind wanders, its a vicios cycle.
Routine is what you need, have you considered getting a job or becoming productive in a way?
