Fibrocystic Breast Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Fibrocystic breast disease is a benign condition of the breast tissue in which areas of greater density and small cysts form. It is very common and usually varies throughout the menstrual cycle.
Common symptoms: the breasts may feel more tender, with nodules or thickenings, and with discomfort that tends to increase in the days before menstruation.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is worthwhile if you notice a new or persistent lump, changes in a breast, or discomfort that worries you, to distinguish it from other causes.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates changes in the breast tissue and guides the follow-up; the general practitioner helps at the initial visit. Knowing your breasts and consulting in the face of any change helps you live with this condition with greater peace of mind.
