Dense and Fibrocystic Breasts - 359 | Menopause Taylor

[@knackfulknitter]

Such a good tutorial! After every breast exam, I was told I had dense breasts. The doctors would make me so fearful and insist on an ultrasound. One went so far as to tell me I should stop my HRT! I told her I would not stop and that she did not know what she was talking about. Thank you for keeping me from falling prey to those doctors! 😘💕💕 See you next week!

[@deborahholly7305]

I’ve had that same experience! It’s very upsetting and anxiety producing.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are so very welcome, my dear. I love being your teacher!

[@yvettebennett6170]

This just happened to me as well this past February. Was told I needed to come back and get an ultrasound. I had horrible anxiety. It's awful. This education always comes at the perfect time thanks to Dr. Taylor.

i laughed so hard when the fat fell off the fiber cystic breast. why can’t it fall off me that easily? 😂 i’m loving this unit.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Ha! I agree.

[@yvettebennett6170]

I have been told a lot over the years inhave dense breasts This past February I was told I needed to come back and get an ultrasound after my mammogram. It freaked me out and i had horrible anxiety. It's awful. This education always comes at the perfect time thanks to you Dr. Taylor. I am looking forward to learning more.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I love this! Now you know not to worry.

[@christinedailey9254]

This is so timely! I’m 53 and going in for my mammogram tomorrow and they always do the additional ultrasounds and it makes me nervous every year. I’ll breathe a bit better now. Thank you Dr. Taylor! ❤

Thanks so much. The knowledge & understanding help so much. 22 years ago I hit perimenopause at 40. My breasts went from B cup to C cup & became very painful. My research ended in Advertising not education & I used progesterone cream on my breasts & it helped tremendously & I went back to a B cup. I used progesterone cream on my breasts only for about 5 years. Then I hit a crying jag that was non stop. My research led me to believe I had a sudden drop in estrogen. I also had lumpy breasts & my first mammogram in a mobile free clinic & was diagnosed with fibrocystic breasts. I stopped progesterone cream altogether & started a phytoestrogen regimen pills + cream & continued on with no more breast issues & no more crying jags, staying a B cup that I was happy with. I had permaperiod at 49, a negative for cancer biopsy & endometrial ablation at 50. Then at age 58 my breasts became fatty & a DD cup size & grew a menopot belly. No pain but I was still miserable. I found you at age 59. I have tried to get prescription HRT with several doctors to no avail. I currently use 2 pumps a day of 2.5 Bi-estro cream + 360 mg of isoflavones + 250 mg of genestien from Saphora japonica. And I do feel good & no doctor can limit my dosage this way. Thank you thank you thank you. I am getting so much of a better understanding of the changes in my breasts since age 40 & this aspect has plagued me horribly for 22 years now. Again thank you.

[@suzy1750]

Thank you so much - watching these videos with particular interest as I have large, dense breasts and, since I did not have kids, they are still pretty much the same in my fifties as they were when I first developed. Given that there's so much (hopefully bad) info about the link between breast cancer and dense breasts, I am terrified every time I go in for my mammogram and follow-up ultrasound (which my doctor always schedules while scheduling the mammo because she knows it will be needed.)

[@MenopauseTaylor]

You are going to learn so much in this unit! Keep watching, my dear.

[@Corrans]

Thank you for taking the time to explain things so well!

[@adria89]

A bag of marbles would have been a great visual for this. I have both and I find it's the quickest way to explain to anyone asking me about it 😂

[@MenopauseTaylor]

Actually, in gynecolgy, we refer tp a uterus full of fibroids as "a bag of marbles." That's why I did not use the analogy here.

[@mrs.Columbo22]

[@krisq3616]

I'm 50 and I was told I have extremely dense breasts. I get inconclusive results on mammograms, ultrasound and MRI. I've had 3 MRIs, all inconclusive. While it's not a disease, it sure makes it hard to get any sort of result from the aforementioned tests!

I have dense breast but one is more dense than the other.

[@charlottemann3352]

Thanks again Dr. Taylor! Pertinent and detailed information. I love the way you teach. Is there any genetic component to either one?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

No, there is not, But in future videos, you will learn about a lot of other factors that play into the picture.

[@cinystarr4657]

I've had dense, fibrocystic for many years pre & post meno. I always had to have further tests done usually with ultrasound to make sure it was nothing serious so it was always scary to go in for a checkup (which I put off out of fear). I had a few aspirated due to sharp pain with pressure but I accidentally got rid of my cysts unknowingly by adding Lugols iodine drops daily - all of a sudden one day I noticed they weren't all lumpy inside like before. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing with iodine & I'm not necessarily recommending for women to do this either. I don't know.

[@MenopauseTaylor]

It's best to refrain from "recommending" things to other women. We're all different.

[@cinystarr4657]

@@MenopauseTaylor AGREED! That's why I added that at the end of my comment - it's not recommending to anyone... we're all different with different dna & health histories. 👍🏼

[@iss8504]

You are right. Breast tissue has iodine receptors, because we make milk for babies. I had horrible stabbing breast pain that I stopped with lugols drops. I was hunting thru pub med to find why i got follicular thyroid cancer and found out that women who have thyroid cancer have a significantly higher risk if breast cancer and vice versa. The studies believe that low iodine is behind both cancers. I have dense breasts. They feel very different now on iodine. No more lumps or pain and they feel very full.

[@cinystarr4657]

@@iss8504 Wow interesting. This sounds SO familiar. My mom had the same issues too. I just take 1 drop of Nascent or 2 drops of Lugols every other day and it keeps it all stable. Again I'm not going to do recommendations in these things since everyone is different and I don't know if it can be harmful to some ? But it's just a fact that I stumbled on when taking it and I wish I knew this back when my mom had the lumpy bumpies. I had them for years and it was embarrassing.

[@parisgirl3090]

That is me too. My dr doesn’t know enough about hrt and just tells me to stop it. The specialist that put me on bioidentical hrt gave my file to my dr lol. Then got into another on/gyn that said it doesn’t benefit me at all at age 60. Still trying to find a good on/gyn but it’s not easy to figure out which one when there are so many of them. Good luck to you!

So if you have dense fibrocystic breasts and on hrt would it make sense to have more estrogen with your progesterone if you have an intact uterus? So dense and fibrocystic breasts have more chance of breast cancer?

[@MenopauseTaylor]

I'll be covering this in this unit (next week).

[@deboralove3986]

Dr. Taylor, should I be putting my daughter on birth control pills or not plant? She has psychological anxiety, & selective mutism. She has very few friends and I don't expect that she will ever be pregnant. Her periods cause her severe pain. SHE Screams in pain & takes Ibuprofen 800for it. I don't want her to get breast cancer or uterine cancer later. Right now, she is 20yrs.old.

This warrants a consultation. Please have your daughter schedule one. I can help her a lot, but not in a comment box. She can schedule at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I do them all online.
