Fibrous mastopathy: In menstruating patient, the effect of hormones during period is on breast tissue in younger patients and ductal system over the age of 40. The effect is to close milk ducts near nipple so that ducts fill with fluid to produce cramping pain. When period ends ducts open near nipple and fluid evaporates so that symptoms disappear.
