Fibrocystic breast disease
Alternate Names : Mammary dysplasia, Diffuse cystic mastopathy, Benign breast disease
Symptoms & Signs
Symptoms are usually worse right before your menstrual period, and then improve after the period starts. You may feel pain or discomfort, usually in both breasts. Breast pain commonly comes and goes, but it can be persistent. Your breasts may feel full, swollen, and heavy.
Diagnosis & Tests
If you have any concerns about your breasts, your health care provider will examine you. If there are any worrisome lumps, you might have a mammogram, ultrasound, or both.
Painful or growing breast cysts can be aspirated by a needle to remove fluid. For any suspicious growth, you may need a core needle biopsy.
