What are the Treatment Options for Fibrocystic Changes?
Treatment for fibrocystic changes is usually conservative and focuses on symptom relief. Options may include:
Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen Wearing a supportive bra to reduce discomfort Applying warm or cold compresses to the affected area Reducing caffeine and sodium intake, which may help alleviate symptoms Hormonal therapy in severe cases, such as oral contraceptives
In cases where cysts are particularly painful or persistent, a healthcare provider may perform a fine-needle aspiration to drain the fluid.
