Brief Answer:
Breast disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking .

More than half of women experience fibrocystic breast changes at some point in their lives. In fact, medical professionals have stopped using the term "fibrocystic breast disease" and now simply refer it as "fibrocystic breasts" or "fibrocystic breast changes" because having fibrocystic breasts isn't really a disease.

Breast changes categorized as fibrocystic are considered normal.

Hope this answers your question.
