Some bras have a pocket or pouch which is used for a prosthetic. These are most commonly used for women who have had a masectomy, although they can also be used for women who have a large difference in cup size on each side to even out the breasts.
How can a man get breast cancer?
Even though men do not have breasts like women, they do have a small amount of breast tissue. In fact the "breasts" of an adult man are similar to the breasts of a girl before puberty, and consist of a few ducts surrounded by breast and other tissue. In girls, this tissue grows and develops in response to female hormones, but in men -- who do not secrete the same amounts of these hormones -- this tissue does not develop.However, because it is still breast tissue, men can develop breast cancer. In fact, men get the same types of breast cancers that women do, although cancers involving the milk producing and storing regions of the breast are very rare. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 2,300 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in men in 2009.
Can breast cancer cause death even if treated?
Yes, no matter what a women will have a great percentage of death. Even when the cancer is cured the women can always get it back easily.
What makes older women's breasts get so fat?
Older women's breasts do not get "fat" as much as it would seem. Instead, decreasing hormones affect connective tissue, making breasts sag more. A history of childbirth, breast-feeding, and gravity also pull the breasts downward. ALL females and even males face sagging breasts as they age! As well, fibrous breast tissue feels more dense; almost all women develop some fibrous breast tissue, especially after pregnancy and childbirth.
How prevalent is Klienfelter Syndrome in males?
In the 1970's, studies indicated that as many as 1 in 500 males could have an extra chromosome that leads to the XXY combinantion that is known as Klienfelter Syndrome.

For those who develop the symptoms, one of which is breast development, their risk of getting breast cancer is almost equal to that of women.

What age does women produce breast milk?
Girls do not get breast milk until they are pregnant. Breast milk is not needed unless they need to feed their baby. Breast milk will usually come around week 17. That is hardly accurate at all. Firstly, men and women can lactate, even babies male or female can produce leakage it's all about a hormonal imbalance. And true "breast milk" does NOT come "around week 17" usually 7 months into a pregnancy colostrum is produced, no two pregnancies are the same however. Most women start producing real breast milk about 3 days after delivery. Again it's different for everyone.
Will breast implants stop your breasts from lactating?
The world's most recognized authority on breast feeding, La Leche League International, advocates breast-feeding -- even by women with implants. Many women have been concerned about a study conducted with regard to the effect of silicone on children who were breast fed by mothers with silicone implants. Only 11 children were studied, born to women with breast implants. 8 had been breast-fed. Six of the 8 had esophageal problems (swallowing, vomiting problems). La Leche League states that it is possible to nurse with breast implants as long as the milk ducts haven't been severed or blocked. There may also be some loss of sensation or altered nipple sensation if the nerves to the nipple and aureole have been severed
If you have breast implants and believe you are pregnant should you be concerned that you have no breast tenderness or soreness even though other pregnancy symptoms are present?
It is unlikely that the lack of soreness is due to the implants, but even if that were the case, it is not cause for alarm. In fact, consider it a blessing. It could be that extra breast tissue and glandular tissue is not yet forming. Or it could be that you won't experience any soreness at all. Some women are lucky that way!
