What is Fibrocystic Breast Condition?
Fibrocystic Breast Condition may also be called Fibrocystic Disease, Cystic Disease, or Chronic Cystic Mastitis. Fibrocystic changes are NOT cancer. These changes are related to the way the tissue of the breast responds to the hormones estrogen and progesterone in your body. The milk glands and milk ducts respond to the hormones by becoming larger and retaining fluid. This fluid can become trapped and the pockets that develop are called cysts.
