Breast Disease
According to Jacquelyn Cafasso, Fibrocystic breast disease, commonly called
fibrocystic breasts or fibrocystic change, is a benign (noncancerous) condition
in which the breasts feel lumpy. Fibrocystic breasts aren’t harmful or
dangerous, but may be bothersome or uncomfortable for some women.
According to the Mayo Clinic, more than half of women will develop
fibrocystic breast disease at some point in their lives. Many women with
fibrocystic breasts will not have any associated symptoms.
Although it isn’t harmful
to have fibrocystic breasts, this condition can make the detection of breast cancer more
challenging.
If you have fibrocystic
breast disease, you may experience the following symptoms:
tenderness
pain
a thickening of tissue
lumps in one or both
breasts
You may have more
swelling or lumps in one breast than the other. Your symptoms will probably be
worse right before your period
due to hormonal changes, but you may have symptoms throughout the month.
The lumps in fibrocystic
breasts tend to fluctuate in size throughout the month and are usually movable.
But sometimes if there’s a lot of fibrous tissue, the lumps may be more fixed
in one place.
You may also experience
pain under your arms. Some women have a green or dark brown discharge
from their nipples.
See your doctor immediately
if clear, red, or bloody fluid comes out of your nipple, as this may be a sign
of breast cancer.
What causes fibrocystic breast disease?
Your breast tissue
changes in response to the hormones made by the ovaries. If you
have fibrocystic breasts, you may have more pronounced changes in response to
these hormones. This can result in swelling and tender or painful breast lumps.
Symptoms are most common
just before or during your period. You may develop lumps in your breasts caused
by cysts and swelling of your breast lobules, the milk-producing glands. You
may also feel a lumpy thickening in your breast caused by an excess growth of
fibrous tissue.
Any woman can get
fibrocystic breast disease, but it most commonly occurs in women in their 20s
to 50s.
Birth control
pills may reduce your symptoms, and hormone therapy may increase them. Symptoms
typically improve or resolve after menopause.
Fibrocystic breast
disease doesn’t increase your risk of getting cancer, but the changes in your
breasts can make it more difficult for you or your doctor to identify
potentially cancerous lumps during breast exams and on mammograms.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women
between 50 and 74 years old get a mammogram every two years. The National
Cancer InstituteTrusted Source
also notes that regular breast self-exams can be helpful.
It’s important that you
become familiar with how your breasts look and feel normally so that you’ll know
when there are changes or something doesn’t seem right.
How is fibrocystic breast disease diagnosed?
Your doctor can diagnose
fibrocystic breast disease by doing a physical breast exam.
Your doctor may also
order a mammogram, ultrasound,
or MRI to get a
better look at the changes in your breasts. A digital mammogram may also be
recommended for women with fibrocystic breasts, as this technology allows for
more accurate breast imaging.
In some cases, an
ultrasound may help distinguish normal breast tissue from abnormalities. If
your doctor is concerned about the appearance of a cyst or other finding in
your breast, they may order a biopsy to see if
it’s cancerous.
This biopsy is usually
performed by fine needle aspiration. This is a surgical procedure to remove the
fluid or tissue using a small needle. In some cases, your doctor may recommend
a core needle biopsy, which removed a small amount of tissue to be examined.
Most women who have
fibrocystic breast disease don’t require invasive treatment. Home treatment is
usually sufficient to relieve associated pain and discomfort.
Over-the-counter pain
relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can usually
effectively relieve any pain and discomfort. You can also try wearing a
well-fitting, supportive bra to reduce breast pain and tenderness.
Some women find that
applying warm or cold compresses relieves their symptoms. Try applying a warm
cloth or ice wrapped in a cloth to your breasts to see which works best for
you.
Dietary changes
Some people have found
that limiting their caffeine intake, eating a low-fat diet, or taking essential
fatty acid supplements will reduce the symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease.
However, there are no
randomized controlled studies that show that these or any dietary changes are
effective at relieving symptoms.
Call your doctor if you
experience any of the following symptoms. They may be signs of breast cancer:
new or unusual lumps in
your breasts
redness or puckering of
the skin on your breasts
discharge from your
nipple, especially if it’s clear, red, or bloody
an indentation or
flattening of your nipple
The specific cause of
fibrocystic breast disease isn’t fully understood. However, doctors suspect
that estrogen and other reproductive hormones play a role.
As a result, your
symptoms will likely disappear once you reach menopause, as the fluctuation and
production of these hormones decreases and stabilizes.
