A member asked:

Do fibrocystic breasts cause new lumps to form?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Regina Hampton answered

Specializes in Breast Surgery

Yes: The breasts go through changes related to hormone levels, stress and caffeine. The lumps will come and go. It is important to become familiar with your lumpiness and be able to distinguish your normal lump from something that feels abnormal. Anything abnormal should be discussed with your doctor.
