9. Lifestyle Changes to Manage Fibrocystic Breast Changes

Some women find their symptoms ease if they wear a firm support bra during the day and at night. Doctors recommend women with fibrocystic breast changes wear sports bras during exercise with any impact. A heating pad may help relieve breast discomfort, and some women benefit from avoiding coffee and other caffeine-containing foods and drinks. Reducing fat in the diet may also help with fibrocystic breasts. If the affected woman is postmenopausal and takes hormone therapy, she may choose to discuss with her doctor reducing or stopping the treatment.
