Fibrocystic breasts commonly concern women... but are a common breast tissue structure "Fibrocystic breast changes and fibroadenomas occur in 60% to 90% of all women" Women lumpy breast texture often have what we call "fibrocystic breasts." It's not abnormal or a problem, per se, but if this is your breast texture, you may encounter a few concerns: 1. Fear about whether a lump is cystic or cancerous, leading to many women with fibrocystic texture not wanting to do personal breast exams 2. Tenderness throughout the cycle 3. Engorgement of cysts within the breast, causing mastalgia, or when pregnant, clogged ducts and mastitis There is little cancer concern for cysts We don't get very concerned about soft, movable cystic lumps within breasts. When biopsied, 95% of the time there is no atypical hyperplasia risk (cancer)... so unless you feel a harder calcified ball of tissue, like a pea, it's unlikely to need urgent cancer screen. Clinically, we like to watch and observe most soft lumps in the breast, especially if they respond to hormonal fluctuations. Try some of these natural measures to see if it reduces the lumps or cyst. If not, and it persists, grows, or there is redness and hardness, get a screening ultrasound or mammo. Things to help with hormones causing cystic breast issues: Since the symptom of fibrocystic breasts-- swelling and tenderness in the breast- tend to increase with estrogen dominance, it would make sense that balancing hormones and helping the body metabolize out estrogen would reduce cystic complaints.

Women's health- BV- Good protocol

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection in women in their reproductive years. In the United States, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), estimated the prevalence of BV was 29% in the general population of women aged 14 to 49 years and 50% in African-American women. It is characterized by a shift in vaginal flora from an acidic environment due to acid-producing lactobacilli to a mixture of anaerobic and facultative microorganisms. BV symptoms include vaginal odor, itching, discharge, and irritation and can greatly impact a woman’s health, quality of life, sexual relations, self-image, and well-being. BV has also been associated with an increased risk of preterm labor, STD acquisition, and vaginal cuff cellulitis after hysterectomy6. After treatment with antibiotics, recurrences are common. About 15-30% will have a recurrence in 3 months7. Normal vaginal flora is lactobacilli dominant. Lactobacilli maintain vaginal pH in the acidic range and keep the growth of BV associated bacteria at low levels. Lactobacilli also produce proteins with the bactericidal activity which help to maintain their dominance. Anything that alters the vaginal flora and changes the pH to a more basic environment may increase the risk of BV. Currently, there are many sexual lubricants and vaginal moisturizers available on the market. It has recently been shown that many of these are hyperosmolar and it is thought that hyperosmolar lubricants can be damaging to the epithelium and may alter the pH of the vagina.* It is postulated that lubricants and moisturizers may predispose to BV by altering the pH of the vagina.
