Caffeine & Fibrocystic Breast disease

Q. I suffer from cysts on my breasts. They are present all of the time, but

get larger and more painful right before my period. Do you have any

recommendations?

 

A. It sounds like you may be suffering from fibrocystic breast disease

(FBD), a benign condition - not even a disease, really - that causes

lumps and cysts to develop in breast tissue.

 

Cysts are fluid-filled pockets; lumps are solid masses.

 

These developments can lead to inflammation, causing the breast to swell

and become painful. The pain can range from mild to severe.

 

FBD is very common, occurring in perhaps twenty to forty percent of

women prior to menopause.

 

Here are two recommendations that help most women - eliminate caffeine

from the diet and take 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E.

 

Caffeine simulates overproduction of cellular products, such as fibrous

tissue and cyst fluid.

 

One study found that FBD symptoms improved in more than ninety-seven

percent of women who avoided caffeine entirely and in seventy-five

percent of those who reduced their intake.

 

Good results have also been reported with vitamin E supplementation.
