Asked By:cameronoconnor39 in Montclair, NJ

I've been noticing extra puffy nipples lately and im wondering what the cause is. I dont necessarily feel a hard lump behind my nipple but then again its hard to tell. Is there a way to know for sure? Im 6'0 175 so im not exactly overweight but i have gained about 5-6 pounds in a month from eating unhealthy but i also think i have low testosterone levels as well (very little sex drive, occasional ED, and im always tired
