What Does Fibrocystic Breasts In An Mammogram Indicate?
Question: Hi. Age 46. Mammogram 8 months ago. Did have 2 cysts checked by ultrasound and all ok. Now with pain under right nipple. I do know my mammogram said I have moderately fibrocystic breasts. I am very scared and shaking.
Brief Answer:
Nothing active management required
Detailed Answer:
Hello man, thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is nothing to worry dear as it is common to have such non specific pains in case of fibrocystic disease.
Caffeine cutting can be helpful but in general these cysts disappear only after menopause and till then such minor complaints can be left at one side but still yearly mammograms are worth.
Regards
