Do fibrocystic breasts cause inverted nipple?. -I had a painful hard firm lump about size of pea or marble 5 years ago. When I touched it, it hurt that area.
-I told the doctor but she just assumed it was a cyst and did not take it seriously. I am 22 years old now. The lump felt as if it grew larger and the pain spread throughout my entire breast
-The pain is a dull, heavy, uncomfortable ache that does not go away even during or after menstrual.
-A year ago my nipple started to invert.
-I ignored this because I thought my doctor was right and that it may just be nothing.
-Yes I am going to the doctor again this Tuesday, but am worried. What do you think it is? If it is fibrocystic, can it cause the nipple to invert?

-Inverted nipple is a sign of breast cancer, but I am wondering if fibrocystic can cause that too. Anyone else had this problem? What are the chances of this being cancer? Please help. Thanks!

No, they won’t cause that. Fibro cystic disease in breast is just hardened tissue and though painful, not cancer. Inverted nipples are something you should see a GYN about if they just occurred but if this is something you’ve had right along, I wouldn’t worry.

Michaela – “Fibrocystic breast disease”, an old term, is now called “fibrocystic changes in the breast.” It is very common in women from the time of puberty on through the years. Fibroids form in the uterus, NOT in the breast where a single similar lump sometimes found in the teens is known as a fibroadenoma (a benign growth). Doctors do examine hundreds of breast each years, commonly while a female attendant (maybe even your mom) is present in the room. Maybe you would feel more at ease if you find a woman MD to examine you? First there is a family history taken since cystic changes often run in families. Then your personal breast history is talked about, like when during your monthly cycle do you get your most swelling. It’s best to get examined when you can most easily feel the largest lumps. Sometimes the doctor could easily locate a large lump, stick a tiny needle in the cyst and suck out fluid. If the fluid is clear, then a benign diagnosis is almost 100 percent certain. Now get over your anxiety of an exam and go get some relief from a doctor’s visit.

I have had fibrocystic breasts since I was 18. My breasts are not that big but they feel almost like a balloon with beads in them. My doctor just happened to be one of the head researchers at a cancer center. He basically informed me that there was no substantial correlation between fibrocystic breasts and breast cancer. Therfore, you would not need a biopsy. However, if you FEEL that something is wrong, you should seek a specialist. Personally, I would go with my gut feeling. My fibrocystic breasts do not hurt. Go and get a second opinion, it can’t hurt!

Can a 14 year old girl possbily have fibrocystic breasts?. I have not had my period for over a year, and I have been getting these lumps in my breast that hurt and feel lumpy.

Question about fibrocystic breast disease?. I went to the doctor last week because of a couple lumps and pain in both of my breasts, and she diagnosed me with fibrocystic breast disease, but I go in next week for an ultrasound.

I was just wondering how this disease forms? Because my breasts haven’t always been painful, but have been hurting for the past month. So is it a sudden formation? Or do certain things trigger the cysts to be painful?

Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Definition

Fibrocystic breast disease is a general term that refers to a variety of symptoms and diagnoses, including breast lumpiness, tenderness, and a wide range of vaguely-defined benign breast conditions. The term is also used diagnostically to describe the appearance of breast tissues viewed under the microscope, on x-ray film, or on ultrasound equipment.

Description

There is no such thing as a typical or normal female breast. Breasts come in all shapes and sizes, with varying textures from smooth to extremely lumpy. The tissues of the female breast change in response to hormone levels, normal aging, nursing (lactation), weight shifts, and injury. To further complicate matters, the breast has several types of tissue, each of which may respond differently to changes in body chemistry.

Fibrocystic breast disease is clearly not a single, specific disease process. Variations or changes in the way the breast feels or looks on an x ray may cause the condition to be called “fibrocystic change.” Other names have been used to refer to this imprecise and ill-defined term: mammary dysplasia, mastopathy, chronic cystic mastitis, indurative mastopathy, mastalgia, lumpy breasts, or physiologic nodularity.

Estimates vary, but 40–90% of all women have some evidence of fibrocystic condition, change, or disease. It is most common among women ages 30–50, but may be seen at other ages.

Causes & Symptoms

Fibrocystic condition refers to technical findings. This discussion will focus on symptoms a woman experiences, which may fall under the general category of the fibrocystic condition.

The breast is not a soft, smooth, pulpy organ. It is actually a type of sweat gland. Milk, the breasts’ version of sweat, is secreted when the breast receives appropriate hormonal and environmental stimulation.

The normal breast contains milk glands, with their accompanying ducts, or pipelines, for transporting the milk. These complex structures may not only alter in size, but can increase or decrease in number as needed. Fibrous connective tissue, fatty tissue, nerves, blood and lymph vessels, and lymph nodes, with their different shapes and textures, lie among the ever-changing milk glands. This explains why a woman’s breasts may not feel uniform in texture, and why “lumpiness” may wax and wane.

Fibrocystic condition is the tenderness, enlargement, and/or changing lumpiness that many women encounter just before or during their menstrual periods. At this time, female hormones are preparing the breasts for pregnancy, by stimulating the milk-producing cells and storing fluid. Each breast may contain as much as three to six teaspoons of excess liquid. Swelling, with increased sensitivity or pain, may result. If pregnancy does not occur, the body reabsorbs the fluid, and the engorgement and discomfort are relieved.

These symptoms range from mildly annoying in some women to extremely painful in others. The severity of the sensations may vary from month to month in the …

Is there any connection between fibromyalgia and fibrocystic breast disease?. I’m wondering if any of the pain in other parts of my body, such as tenderness in various trigger points, that I’m associating with fibromyalgia, might in fact be due to benign cysts similar to the ones I get in my breasts.

Answer by sweetestthing
I don’t know…but that’s a good ???? I can relate because I deal with both of those, too. So, it could be very possible.

Answer by jazzhands247
I don’t think so. There is a protein that gets trapped in those certain parts that causes the pain or tenderness in them. I’ve heard that blue-green algae helps. But for my management of fibromyaglic pain, I execise, get lots of sleep and try natural things like lavender, etc.

Answer by Diane D
No relation. The tender points in fibromyalgia do not contain cysts or any other abnormalities. They are normal areas that are naturally tender in everyone, but are more sensitive than normal if you have fibromyalgia.

Breast cysts are totally different, but of course can be tender too. If you have fibromyalgia you probably are more senstitive to the pain in the breast tissue than average.

Answer by HamTownGal
No, there’s no connection, just the first part of the word. You can have fibrocystic breast disease and fibromyalgia at the same time, but they’re separate conditions.

Answer by dark and beautiful
Fibrocystic breast disease is common and usually benign condition. Symptoms include swollen, tender breasts, and/or one or more lumps. Frequently, symptoms worsen just before a woman’s menstrual cycle, subsiding near the end. For the majority of women these symptoms are a temporary discomfort, however some women experience severe pain.

Fibrocystic breast disease may affect one or both breasts. Women often discover the existence of this condition when, during their monthly breast self-exam, they detect a lump. As frightening as discovering a lump in your breast is it’s important to remember that most breast lumps are not breast cancer. However, all breasts lumps must be investigated to rule out breast cancer and/or to begin immediate treatment if breast cancer is diagnosed.

Steps to Reduce and/or Eliminate Symptoms Naturally
One of the most important dietary changes you can make to prevent or reduce the symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease is eliminating all forms of cafeine-containing foods from your diet. This includes foods such as chocolate, sodas, and coffee and tea. Reducing sugar may also help reduce overall symptoms.
Decrease sources of estrogen from your diet such as commercially raised meats which contain excessive amounts of hormones that can exasperate your symptoms. And don’t forget pharmaceutical sources of estrogen such as birth control pills that can worsen symptoms of benign breast conditions.

According to Dr. John Lee’s book, “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause,” natural progesterone cream applied at a dose of “15 to 20 mg per day from ovulation until a day or two before your period returns will usually result in a return to normal breast tissue in three to four months.” Dr. Lee further advises that once the desired results have been obtained that you should taper your dose of natural progesterone down until you have reached the minimum dosage required for you to maintain your results.

Dr. Lee and others, also recommend the use of Vitamin E, in doses ranging from 400 IU to 600 IU per day, to reduce symptoms associated with fibrocystic breast changes. Other vitamin suggestions include Vitamin B6, a B complex, and magnesium.

If you have tried everything and still find yourself suffering with unbearably painful breasts, some physicians recommend that women who experience severe discomfort may find relief by wearing a good support bra during intolerable episodes.

I would really like to start a discussion about this and get as many hoopers on board who have fibrocystic breast disease and or breast mass and water filled cysts to take note and share results when after having their mammograms. The doc says that as we approach and go through menopause the fluids available to the breasts lessens so it would make sense fibroids, masses and fluid filled cysts would eventually disappear. So to those of you who are in your 20′s, 30′s & 40′s an informal study would be wonderful to share with us and to see if truly chest hooping will in fact help fibroids, masses and fluid filled cysts disappear.

When your hormones are out of balance, you suffer from depression, panic attacks, hot flashes, night sweats, fibrocystic breasts, manic depression and the list goes on and on. What causes hormonal disruptions? Well, there are thousands of reasons. The largest contributing factor is what is on the end of your fork. If you eat out a lot, that is a lot of your health problems. Most convenient foods use non-organic meats. The same with restaurants, most use hormone filled meats. Even the fish in today’s restaurants are not safe because food manufacturers put hormones in the fish’s food. Unthinkable, but true. The only thing you can do is be careful what you put into your mouth. Your hand is putting the food into your mouth and that makes you responsible for your own health. The health care system is destined to go bankrupt. There isn’t a way to support free health care when people do not take responsibility for hurting their heath by bad lifestyle choices.
