  1. fibrocystic breast disease

    Fibrocystic breast disease, also known as fibrocystic breast condition, is a noncancerous condition in which a woman has painful lumps in her breasts. This condition is very common and affects more than 60% of women. The lumps are usually round, smooth, mobile and may change in size during a menstrual cycle. Fibrocystic breast disease is characterized by symptoms like breast pain, tenderness, lumpiness and thickening, and can sometimes make it harder to perform a self-breast exam due to the excessive lumpiness. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it's believed to be related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle.
