When most people think of breast cancer, they picture women. But the truth is, men can also develop breast cancer though it is far less common. In fact, about 1 out of every 100 breast cancer diagnoses in the United States is found in a man.
Because many men don’t realize they’re at risk, symptoms are often overlooked. Warning signs may include:
• A lump or swelling in the chest area
• Skin dimpling or puckering
• Nipple discharge
• Redness or scaling around the nipple or chest
Risk factors include family history, certain genetic mutations (like BRCA1/BRCA2), radiation exposure, and hormonal imbalances.
The most important message: breast cancer doesn’t discriminate by gender. Awareness and early detection save lives. If you or the men in your life notice changes in the chest or nipple area, don’t ignore them, talk with a doctor.
This October, as we honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s also remember the men who are fighting, surviving, and raising awareness.

Low testosterone affects more men than people realize and it can impact energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and even heart health. The good news? With proper lab testing and medical guidance, testosterone therapy can safely help restore balance and improve overall quality of life. In our office, we don’t guess, we listen, test, and create a plan that’s tailored to you. If you haven’t been feeling like yourself, it might be time to ask why. Call us today 319-365-7581.
In a study of over 83,000 men with low testosterone, those who achieved normal testosterone levelswith therapy had: ✔️ 56% lower risk of death ✔️ 24% lower risk of heart attack ✔️ 36% lower risk of stroke Men who started therapy but didn’t reach normal levels didn’t see the same benefits. It’s not just about treatment, it’s about optimized treatment.
