2. When to Consult a Doctor

While the lumps associated with fibrocystic breast changes are benign, women should consult their physicians in the following circumstances:

  • If they feel areas of thickened tissue and new breast lumps
  • If breast pain or tenderness worsens or new areas develop
  • If breast changes occur after menstruation, or if a previously examined lump has changed shape or size.
