Furthermore, younger women have firmer and lumpier with a lot less fat in their breasts than they do in their later years; this is due to the presence of more tissue. In the course of life, and sometimes just before the menstrual cycle, fluid-filled cysts or fibrous areas can develop in the breast of some women, this can feel very tender and sore and may occur randomly and occasionally before each menstrual cycle.

While it is normal for a large number of women to feel some sort of discomfort in the breast at some stage in their life, others are afflicted with discomfort and pain in the breast that can be very distressing and painful, interfering with and disturbing the day to day life and normal activities of the woman concerned.

The term fibrocystic breast disease has been medically applied to any form of breast discomfort that occurs as a premenstrual change. However breast cancer is not the natural outcome of this "disease" since fibrocystic breast are not considered a threat to health and are rather normal developments in most women, it also does not necessarily predispose one to breast cancer.

On the other hand lumpiness in the breasts can hide cancerous growth and make the detection of tumors difficult, the lumpiness in itself being normal and quite harmless. Those lumps that change position with every menstrual cycle are considered normal and they are distinguishable from cancerous growths due to the fact that they can move about freely in the breast of the woman concerned.

FOR MEN AND WOMEN.

Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle are responsible for the rise of fibrocystic changes in the breast of women, the rising and lowering of different female hormones is linked inextricably to the formation of lumps and reflect these hormonal changes.

The production of high levels of the hormone estrogen at the same time a lowered volume of the hormone progesterone after ovulation in some women, means that such women have greater chances of developing fibrocystic breast and are much more likely to have lumpy breast.

Prolactin hormone production zooms up if this particular state of high estrogen and low progesterone production coincide in a woman. This has important effects in that, while prolactin is the mild secretion-inducing hormone in lactating mothers, it simply increases breast tenderness in women who are not otherwise breast-feeding a child and thus, this hormone is also linked to fibrocystic breast.

Substances such as caffeine have been suspected by researchers to have some stimulatory effect on the growth of lumps or the development of fluid filled breast cysts. This is because women who stopped using caffeine showed a reduction in the tenderness of the breast. However this is disputed by other experts who see no conclusive and substantial evidence between breast tenderness in women and the causative effects of caffeine with regard to this.
