Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The lumps below the nipples could be due to enlarged populations of the breast tissue. Enlarged population in breast suggests gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is breast enlargement in males. The etiology of gynecomastia is increased estrogens in males which occurs during adolescence. You need to get ultrasound of the breasts and aspiration cytology. In aspiration cytology of breasts, the cells of the swelling are aspirated using needle. The aspirated cells are spread and stained with appropriate stains. Examination of cells will determine the nature of lesion. In case the lumps/ swellings are due to gynecomastia, surgical measures need to be done to remove the enlarged breast tissue. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
