also classified as a nonproliferative lesions, represent a variety of changes
in the glandular and structural tissues of the breast. Feel like a lumpy string
of pearls.
Fibrocystic changes are caused by an overgrowth of fibrous tissues in the
connective tissues supporting the breasts
This is frequently accompanied by the presence of fluid-filled cysts, which
contribute to a lumpy “string of pearls” feeling in the breast.
The cysts move freely when palpated, and symptoms decline after
menopause when levels of estrogen and progesterone drop.
Women may complain of them feeling tender and hurting.
Menopausal women due to hormones dropping they don’t experience pain
as much as a women menstruating would.

Follicle-stimulating hormone
An elderly woman is seen in the clinic reporting a lesion on her labia majora and
states that she has experienced some bleeding and itching as well. She states that this
has been going on for approximately three months. She tells the nurse that she has
not been to a health care provider in over 10 years. What diagnosis would the nurse

Mastitis is an infection or inflammation of the connective tissue in the breast
that occurs primarily in lactating women.
Lactating mastitis typically occurs in the first 2 to 3 weeks of lactation.
One or more of the ducts drain poorly or become blocked, resulting in milk
stasis and bacterial growth in the retained milk
Management of mastitis involves the use of oral antibiotics, warm
compresses to the inflamed area of the breast, continued breastfeeding,
