Although the cause of fibrocystic breast changes is unknown,the condition seems to be related to normal fluctuations in estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle.Symptoms usually resolve after menopause in the absence of estrogen supplementation.The presence of fibrocystic breast changes does not necessarily increase the client's risk for breast cancer,will not necessarily increase with age,and does not routinely have a genetic component.
