Tx for fibrocystic breast disease - answer- Once a benign diagnosis or normal findings
have been established by biopsy or on clinical or imaging findings, simple reassurance
will provide many patients with adequate relief.
For those patients who still seek treatment, symptomatic relief by avoiding trauma and
by wearing a bra with adequate support can be very helpful. The role of caffeine
consumption in the development and treatment of fibrocystic change has never been
proven; however, many patients report relief of symptoms after abstinence from coffee,
tea, and chocolate. Similarly, observational studies have suggested that low-fat diets
can provide some relief. The data regarding the utility of vitamin E supplementation and
evening primrose oil are controversial. Mild analgesics such as acetaminophen and
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be used to relieve breast pain. For
more symptomatic women, danazol and tamoxifen have been found to be effective,
although their significant side effects have limited their acceptability and utility.
