Fibrocystic Breast Disease

- Once referred to as Fibrocystic Breast Disease, this condition is now known to represent normal variation of hormonally sensitive breast tissue responding to physiologic fluctuation of female hormones throughout the menstrual cycle. This realization led to a change in terminology to the current correct name of Fibrocystic Breast Change.
FBC lost its status as a disease when it was recognized to be almost universally present in women during their childbearing years. Approximately half of women manifest clinically detectable cysts that grow during the luteal phase of their cycle - the time between ovulation and the start of menstruation. Those without palpable cysts still harbor microcysts too small to be felt by clinical examination and often unable to be detected by mammography or ultrasound.
Lesions begin appearing in women during the late teens to early thirties and progress until the menopause. Symptoms typically include pain, usually intermittent, but some women experience constant dull or achy tenderness. One or more nodules may be detected in one or both breasts.
Although the masses grow during the later half of the cycle, they tend to regress after the menses. FBC may be associated with nipple discharge in a relatively large number of women. The fluid tends to be scant and milky or alternatively may be green, gray or black.
Affected breasts may feel lumpy and have a cobblestone texture, but the masses themselves remain smooth edged, freely movable and not attached to underlying structures. Most cysts are discovered by the woman rather than her physician. Retraction of the skin, bloody nipple discharge or eczema around the nipple unresponsive to a short course of topical cortisone should encourage prompt medical consultation.
Whether caffeine predisposes to FBC has engendered controversy since the subject initially appeared in the early 1980s. Most medical reports discount any relationship. In general no association exists between caffeine, chocolate, tea or any other food. For those women who believe a correlation exists, avoidance seems wise even in the absence of an established cause and effect relationship.
Each year more than 1 million women undergo breast biopsy for FBC. When necessary or appropriate, treatment of the condition customarily involves minimizing symptoms with a well fitting bra and perhaps an over-the-counter analgesic such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen. Some find a heating pad or cool compress soothing. Other women notice hormone manipulation with oral contraceptives or similar agents alleviate the issue entirely.
FBC is neither cancerous nor pre-cancerous.

His speech is mesmerizing!
Excellent presentation, and much needed. Thank you very much!
Agreed. I would love to know more.
God help us all to heal this !!!🙌🏾
Thank you so much my nerves was on me. You are so knowledgeable
Love this guy. Thank you for your explanation
God bless you I was scared to death Your knowledge brings me peace in my heart thank you Doctor Landa
Why aren’t you speaking on Iodine Lugols, there’s a lot of research.
That’s interesting he says they go away - they do not. They keep growing bigger. The lumpiness and tenderness go away but not the actual lumps. My first one was removed at 2.5 cm because it was bothering me. I am skinny with small breasts and it felt like a rock in there. Now I have two other benign lumps in my other breast, one is over 3cm long and nobody can tell me what should I do. My doctor refused to do hormone testing. Hearing that treatment is a sports bra is frustrating. I am 34 years old
have a look at your hormones ...that can help ...but just get them removed ...its supposed to improve after menopause tho also the pill can help
Mine too. I’m 34 as well and every month is terrifying!!
I'm 36 years old. I just had USG 2 times in different hospitals 2 months ago, there was no sign of fibrocystic disease. It's diagnosed Fibroadenoma, then the lumps removed just 3 weeks ago. The biopsy said it's fibrocystic disease with usual duct hyperplasia
Eat ionized salt and also sea kelp helps. Reduce inflammation in your body through diet and exercise.
Lugols Iodine
Oh my goodness mine it never change as far as getting smaller or going away. I only have more as I've gotten older. I have so many in both. It's ridiculous
this was very easy to follow thank you
I appreciate this helpful video. #High5Blessings
Itching is my main concern
Caffiene is what causes mine! 😫
Best explained. Thanks .
I have pain in one breast, and I was told by one of the 3 doctors that saw me, that it’s most probably fybocystic breast, however, we don’t feel any lump, and when my period stopped it did get a little better, but still bothers me. I am getting another appointment in a week at the breast clinic, I am not sure if they are king any testing, but I hope so. Until I am not checked correctly, I am not convinced it’s this, since my breast don’t feel lumpy, and there is no lump that can be felt at all. Well, I know that is a good thing. Right? Sending you all my prayers and let’s all try to stay positive.
Thank you for this info
I have to say I appreciate this video a lot ... I saw my doctor ( very good doctor ) he told me not to worry.... But the cysts do not go away after period and pain got worse after period... Only now a month later i.feel.some relief.... I'm still unsure. I still have anxiety about this.
I know what you mean. I go to the doctor soon but im pretty sure i have this. The pain is worse a couple days after my period. I have most pain under my arm. How are you doing?
@@maliataylor6757 how r u now?

Thank you I’ve been scared
Lol
@@britkat2099 With respect, it's not funny to feel scared about this.
My underarms even hurt 😔
Yes mine too,
Thank u Dr it was clear explanation about fibrocystic breast 🙏
why is he mad dang
Hahahaha, my thoughts exactly
I think because so many women are given the wrong information and he wants us to have a clear understanding of what we’re dealing with, instead of being scared. I think it his way of expressing himself. Not anger.
He's sick and tied of Doctors telling lies and giving false information to women about the deadly disease cancer. Thank you so much Dr Ken Landow.
Can Fibrocystic Breast Disease occur in just one breast or is it always in both?
Why my docter say i must have operation
Get a second opinion before any surgery
How are you
