Fibrocystic Breast Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Fibrocystic breast disease is a very common benign condition in which the breast tissue has denser areas, nodules, or small cysts. It usually varies throughout the menstrual cycle.
Common symptoms:
- A sensation of lumps or nodules in the breasts
- Tenderness or pain, especially before menstruation
- Changes in the texture of the breast tissue
When to seek care? With any new lump, a change that draws attention, or persistent discomfort, an evaluation is advisable for peace of mind.
Which specialist treats it? Fibrocystic breast disease is evaluated by the gynecologist, with support from imaging studies when they are needed. Reviewing the changes with a professional helps in distinguishing what is benign and in keeping proper follow-up.
