Fibrocystic Breast Changes
Many women experience fibrocystic breast changes during their reproductive years. Most women only notice these changes during menstrual symptoms. Understanding the root cause of these breast changes can help alleviate symptoms and improve well-being.
What Are Fibrocystic Breast Changes?
Women experience many changes that interfere with their well-being. Some notice back discomfort, while others notice breast tenderness. While it’s common to experience hormonal changes, unexplained discomfort can affect a woman’s quality of life.
Fibrocystic breasts have a lumpy or rope-like texture. Fibrocystic breast changes can occur when hormones fluctuate. These changes usually happen before and during a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Fibrocystic Breast Changes Can Hinder Your Well-Being
Dealing with unexplained breast changes can cause additional discomfort as you approach your menstrual cycle. While many doctors believe these changes are normal, severe discomfort can keep you from enjoying life. Sudden lumps, tenderness, swelling, and other symptoms can lead to persistent pain.
Fluctuating hormones can bring on breast changes as estrogen levels rise during ovulation and luteal phases. Fluid-filled sacs can develop and lead to painful swelling. Breasts may feel sore to the touch.
Naturopathic Solutions Can Promote Balance
Fibrocystic breast changes can go unnoticed. Some physicians may prescribe medication for pain or recommend eliminating caffeine. If left untreated, fibrocysts will not lead to serious illness but will reduce quality of life.
Holistic therapy can help reduce inflammation and regulate hormone levels. Balancing hormones can help alleviate painful symptoms before and during your menstrual cycle. Dr. Karen Threlkel is passionate about helping women balance their health and wellness for a better quality of life.
