Benign Breast Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Benign breast disease encompasses a range of noncancerous changes in the breast tissue, such as cysts, fibrous nodules, or thickenings that can be felt on touch.
Common manifestations: They may include lumps, tenderness, or discomfort that sometimes varies over the course of the menstrual cycle.
When should you pay attention? Any new change in the breasts warrants a check, although most of these findings do not represent a serious risk.
Who evaluates it? Gynecology is the go-to specialty for its evaluation, and depending on the case, areas such as radiology or surgery may be involved. If you have any doubts about a change you notice, the most prudent thing is to have it evaluated by a trusted professional.
