Breast "cysts": At 47, and not on oral contraceptives, your estrogen levels are higher than when you were younger, and stimulate breast tissue accordingly. "Fibrocystic breast disease" is not dangerous, but may be reduced significantly if you start oral birth control (if there are no contraindications). Oral bcps stop ovarian estrogen, reduce fibrocystic disease, and make mammorgrams more accurate.
