From the time a girl begins to menstruate breasts undergo regular changes each month. Nearly all breasts develop some lasting changes, beginning when the woman is about 30 years old. Eventually, about half of all women will experience symptoms such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.

FIBROCYSTIC CHANGES/DISEASE   

FIBROCYSTIC CHANGES/DISEASE Symptoms ;  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.

ASK ABOUT

        

Date of last period? When did she discover the lump? Family history of breast problems? Previous breast problems? Previous breast biopsy or other breast surgery? Is it hard or soft? Has lump and is grown larger or smaller Nipple discharge Any medications?

Diagnostic Methods    FNAC

/BIOPSY

MANAGEMENT FIBROCYSTIC CHANGES/DISEASE    

SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF FIBROCYSTIC CHANGES/DISEASE  Re-assurance  Analgesics  Sedatives

 dietary

changeseliminating all forms of cafeine-containing foods from your diet.







Decrease sources of estrogen from diet such as commercially raised meats which contain excessive amounts of hormones that can exasperate your symptoms. Stop pharmaceutical sources of estrogen such as birth control pills that can worsen symptoms of benign breast conditions.

About Premenopause  

 Vitamin

E- 400 IU to 600 IU per day  Vitamin B6, a B complex, and magnesium.  wearing a good support bra during intolerable episodes.

Sclerosing adenosis involves the excessive growth of tissues in the breast"s lobules. frequently causes breast pain. Changes are microscopic. adenosis can produce lumps, On mammography, often as calcifications, small deposits of calcium in tissue. Because adenosis is often difficult to distinguish from cancer, -- surgical biopsy to diagnose and treat .

Fibro Adenomas do not become malignant they can enlarge with pregnancy and breast-feeding. Fibro adenomas have a typically benign appearance on mammography (breast x-rays) diagnosed with fine-needle aspiration. Most believe that remove fibro

Fat necrosis    



Firm, tender, indurated, ill-defined mass Formed by damaged and disintegrating fatty tissues. Typically occurs in obese women with very large breasts. Often develops in response to a bruise or blow to the breast, even though the woman may not remember the specific injury. Can easily be mistaken for cancer, so such lumps are removed during a surgical biopsy.

Conclusions women with fibrocystic breast disease or other benign breast conditions are more likely to develop breast cancer later only if a breast biopsy shows "atypia" or abnormal breast cells.

Conclusions 



Risk factors for breast cancer after the diagnosis of benign breast disease include the histologic classification of a benign breast lesion and a family history of 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.
