Also, detox your body and stop eating foods packed with hormones like meat. Avoid process food. Go natural. Try not to stress. Stress releases bad hormones in the body and make you have high estrogen level which is not good. Talking from experience. Don't forget to pray everyday. The best healing comes from God.

I have fibrocystic breasts and fibroadenoma and very dense breasts. Often they are sore and at times have stabbing pain. If anyone is in the same situation, these things can also help. Decreasing saturated fat, avoid or cut back on caffeine, chocolate,teas, less sodium,increase fiber, include more fruits and vegetables,warm compress on tender breast,good support bra and take primrose oil and vitamin e. These were all suggestions from my Dr. I hope this can help someone!❤️

Hi Dr Petersen, I absolutley must say a HUGE thankyou for putting out these video's!! I really appreciate how informative, clear and calm your content is. I came across your channel back in April 2023. I am 49 years old, peri-menopausal for the last 4 years. To help manage the symptoms of peri-menopause as naturally as possible (including hot flushes from hell, occasional but severe migraines and poor sleep) and to help support my body with this life change I switched to a very clean, healthy diet with no dairy, no red meat, low and healthy only carbs, less than 10% sugar and I am active. However, I had been suffering from very painful, swollen and hard, lumpy fibrocystic breasts. Initially this started with the pre-menstrual cycle then eased after the period, but it progeressed to being almost all the time say...6 out of 7 days. Even with very small breasts some days it was painful to even wear a t-shirt or lie flat on my back. I found this video and immediately started taking Vitamin E capsules every morning and I bought a bottle of liquid Iodine from the local chemist, no script required which was fantastic. I have been taking just 3 x drops in half a glass of water each morning after breakfast and after approximately 8 weeks I can say I had NO pain at all, and the breasts are softer. (I was already taking Vit D and a multi-vitamin). I cannot believe how quickly and effectively this simple and chaep combination of Vit E and Iodine has been. I haven't even finished the bottle yet and it only cost me $18 (Australian dollars!) For the Americans...that's only about 3x cups of Starbucks coffees, haha! A million thankyou's !!! I have recommended your channel and website to two other women at work who were also suffering in silence. I've also found your info on bio-identical progesterone very interesting and I will look into it as I'm still battling the hot flushes, and poor sleep some nights but this is a great start. Thankyou so much from Australia. 😊🤗💝🙏🌻🌷

Thank-you for posting this video! I went to see my Dr the other day (male and USELESS!!!) who has referred me to a breast clinic - have been panicking over a small couple of lumps behind my areola. This has been super informative and while I will still go to my appointment I feel a little calmer that this sounds a lot like my condition! I am a big caffeine head and stress levels have been high, plus my mother had cysts during her younger years - all of these factors seem to be pointing to this being the case!! Will feel a little calmer now, thank-you xx

You said it increases risk of cancer, moffit & Mayo Clinic have stated that it doesn’t lessen or increase breast cancer. In 2017 which is pretty present, it’s so many things that are truly unknow get a good doctor an learn your body an pay attention to everything.

Thank you Dr. Vikki, your video gives me comfort

Thank you for this info. I’ve been looking for answers and yours actually described what I have recently experience. I thought it was just dry skin, but the pain and itch had become quite extreme. I need to make changes to my health now!!

Hi is there any treatment that involves dissolving of the lumps?

I am very glad to have found your sensible video on the dangers of mammograms. Although I have been aware of these matters and an organisation of Drs wanting this info getting out to the public, for maybe a decade, your video is what I can now confidently show my friends. Thank you

I’m feeling exactly as you’ve mentioned, however I’m in my 60’s. I can’t find anyone that’s speaks of older women.

thank you, this topic needs more covering, definitely.

Today’s the day, start now. Thank you so much for your video.

Very informative, thank you Dr.!

How about fibroadenomas? Is it possible to make them disappear or at least get smaller?

Thank you so much I'm at home suffering now this is the only video that describes everything going on with me your a blessing.

Hi Doctor thank you for your informative video. I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago. Results came back saying “complex cystic density 7mm” in an area 4cm from my left nipple at 3:00. In the past, I have been told that I have fibrocystic changes and also have had ultrasounds that have indicated simple cysts. I am going to follow up with a breast specialist, but I am wondering what you’d recommend the next step to be? I personally would prefer to avoid mammogram, would it be advisable to request an MRI instead? Another ultrasound? I’m feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

Hi Dr. Vikki, how can we get in touch with you

Dr i need treatment can uh pls ans me fr the actly wht the treatment

Thanks doc. You speak so clearly

I started to drink Turmeric tea for 3 weeks now and I noticed my lump on my left breast is now small compared before.

This is very helpful information thank you very much.

This is very informative. If one is deficient in progesterone does that mean the estrogen is dominant?

Hi Dr Vikki. Thank you for this very informative video. I will be calling your office for a consultation. God Bless. 🙏

I have multiple breast cyst but I believe in Jesus. God healed me and got normal reports. Thanks Jesus

Honest doctor! Thank you!!

Hi. Have you any experience or do you know anyone that has found relief from castor oil compress/pack on breast lumps?

I have got ultrasound. These are tiny. Early fibrocystic. Do i need to FNAC? PLEASE REPLY

i have this and i’m 13. i was diagnosed at 12; i get bumps in my breasts sometimes as big as 2 or 1 1/2 wide... is this an issue? should i go back to the doctor if i have 2 in one by the same spot my my nipple?

I was told I couldn't have a bilateral breast ultrasound without a mammogram. That they had to be booked at the same time no mammogram no ultrasound. I live in Ontario, Canada.

all the testing is not normally covered by insurance .... labs ... bio identical hormone therapy ...can be very pricey $$$$ ...

Very informative I'm glad I found your channel I'm currently having this

Well explained dr thanks for making and sharing this video with us 🙏 God bless you 🙏

Great tips! I agree with most of this, but having fibrocycstic breasts does not increase your risk of cancer. It just makes it a bit more difficult to detect. That is why if you try and change your diet and exercise, lose weight if you have to. The symptoms will decrease.

Goodness sakes, I was told my caffeine intake caused this condition.. And for the chronic symptoms to stop or go down a lot, I must stop my intake of caffeine all together.. If I wasn't to do that, I needed to take low dose of birth control. I tried taking birth control for a few days, and couldn't continue because I had such terrible symptoms with it- much worse than the pain with fibercystic breast disease if that says anything.. Now you're telling me if I just exercise more I will reverse my fibercystic breast disease? Am I hearing this correctly?

From my experience I think iron med don't go along with fybrocystic breast what do you recommend in this situation, I have to literally leave iron pills for a while to minimize the heaviness of breast

@Dr. Vikki Petersen thank you for an informative video. I had a mamo yesterday and they found *rice grain size in rt breast but nothing in found in US. Scheduled for biopsy in 3 weeks because I feel pain at times. I'm 55yrs looking to change my diet and will be calling you.

I have the same issue Doc,I undergo a surgery 1year ago I felt so happy because its already but now its coming again,what should I do it felts so lumpy..

Is it okay if I go to gym? I have a fibrocystic breast change.

Dr. Vikki, how can I reach out to you?

Thank you so much, not a lot of mentions of the itching that occurs but this month closer to my period I’ve been experiencing a specific area on the side of my boob and it’s so scary Bc it’s like every month there’s something new to it.

How much vitamin E and how much iodine? What is a good blood level of iodine?

Hi Dr. Vikki, thank you for sharing, you’re the expert, I need your best opinion, have sore breast but no lump or deformities, had mammogram & ultrasound & the most painful biopsy done. Right breast, found calcium deposits, 3 mm x 5 mm, malignant. Next step is MRI. What’s the best way to treat it without going thru surgery?

I had pain in breast and ask the doctor to do ultrasound they refused that they won’t just do ultrasound I have to get Mammogram too I have Cyst what should I do this was my first mammogram they told me to do mammogram every year . Can you please tell me what it’s best option for my Cyst? . Thank you for what you do

Hello ma'am, I'm 23 and have been diagnosed multiple fibroadenomas in both my breasts. What do I do for their treatment?

They started doing mammograms on me in my twenties. Then ultrasounds. I did what my Doctor told me when I was young. My mom had the condition, never got a mammogram or went to the doctor ever! I am 58, had a total hysterectomy when I had bladder cancer and my breasts got some better but still lumpy and hurt!! Help'!

Thank you so much for the information!

What vitamin E do you recommend

Im a 26 year old female. Does birth control help? I have fibrocystic breasts and my doctor says all looks normal and to keep taking my birth control and get a new bra to help with the pain. I have it in one breast and it's so big and I want it to shrink or something but they won't do anything about it.

What is your take on Maca root? I mean in regards to fibrocystic breasts and hormone balance.

Dr. Vikki, is it possible to get rid of fibroids without surgery? Can they disappear if one changes the food as you advise and the style of life?

Pls answer if the hormonal changes affect both or just one breast? I have issues with right side getting tender and painful. Got mammo and U/S last year but thankfully no major issue… still confused/scared though due to family history.

Hai Dr. I am 42 and had hysterectomy around 5 years ago (not cancer. Ovary still intact). I also had a fibroadenoma removed 4 years ago from my right breast. Since the hysterectomy, both my breasts often have pain in multiple areas. They feel lumpy too. Is this normal? Last time I had ultrasound (3yrs ago) they didn't see anything suspicious. But i am worried allll the time because of the pain and the ropey texture of my breasts.

Doc please how can I get in control with you

Hi, please help I've had breast pain since 2017 I've done 7 ultrasounds and they all negative.. but the beast pain doesn't go away it is constantly there whether on period or not .. am sent to do a mammogram still not up for it .. please help me

How can I reach you? I have a few questions I'd like to ask, also I think my thyroid condition is related, I've never been diagnosed, but I'm very sure I have this

What if you’re below 50 and have a lump, is there a way to diagnose it without mammograms. Can ultrasound be enough especially if the lump is hard?

It’s not a cure but Heat packs and magnesium baths give me alot of relief, I have cysts and they really hurt, no matter what type of bra I wear seems to cause pain as well

Which progesterone should you use

Hi Dr. Sorry, I'm late for the discussion, but I wanted to ask if Ashwagandha, or other adaptogens can help with Fibrocystic breast, and also, you recommended Iodine (is there a recommended way to take it? I have heard that it's important to take iodine and selenium together). Thanks for the video! my best wishes for you and your subscribers all the way from Prague (Czech Republic).

Methylxanthines in coffee,teas,cacao plus full fat dairy products and high sodium foods should be removed.This was how I got rid of mine, with the addition of ioderal and Boswellia!

Your the first i have heard say this may be related to cancer

Madam, can this composition help--"trypsin, bromelain & rutoside trihydrate""?

Dr. Petersen... what about serrapeptase? That supposedly removes fibers...and inflammation. I haven't ought it yet but wondered what you think?

Hello Dr. Vikki. I am 54 years, peri-menopausal for 1 year. 3 months ago, the mammogram/ultrasound showed I have fibrocystic breast. I started switching from the Mediterranean to plant based diet. Is it true that food rich in phytoestrogen such as flaxseeds and chia seeds may cause estrogen dominance that might be associated with breast cysts. Please advise. Thank you.

I was diagnosed with the same 4 year back when I was just 19. I have to have gone through surgery because I was having severe pain even hard to walk without holding my breast. I was diagnosed with 5 cyst, being 3 in left breast and rest in right. Surgeon was able to get 3 out of 5, and 3 still are in there as they were tiny and lately I have noticed that I am having severe pain in my breast. Really don't know what to do. I am so very scared to go through same surgery over again. I need your help

What happen for mammogram?

Mine are are sensitive it hurts to touch then is like u have a bruised is usually just one i m 52 so i getting,to the point my period is crazy ..i don’t feel any lump just when im getting my period and it goes away but is horrible the pain

So you can’t do anything for extremely dense tissue?

What about a thermography for older women?

I have a lump on my lift breast sometimes it's hurts alot,,,but I was using implant and that's the time I discovered I have a lump,,BT even after removal of the implant I also have the same same problem,,,what can I use so that the lump disappear

Im 39 and when in for an annual exam. SHe found lumps inmybreatsso i had my first mammogram and ultrasound. I was very worried for cancer (mother dies of estrogen dominant breast cancer). They concluded that i have fibrocystic breasts. Also, dealing with very thick endometrial wall (1.5cm ). I have a uterine biopsy scheduled. I alsosuffer from migrains and sleepless nights. My conclusion is that i have low progesterone. I had a tubal ligation 3 years ago after my 6th baby. All of these problems started to happen around that time.

Can I get surgery if I have this condition

My pain is everyday I don't get any breaks only when ovulating. I have issues bending down ...picking up things. Ever now and then a cyst appears on the top of my breasts burst and burns. It leaves behind a scar...I have a combination with heterogenous dense tissue. I am on bed rest on a daily basis. I am 34 I've been dealing with this for two years now. I also have lumps under both arms. My mammograms look worse than the ones I see online. I've been to 3 specialists and they say it's not cancer. I'm so frustrated and sad this has affected my life.

Can one with fibrocyst get pregnant?

I went through a memogram test so does that mean that there is a chance to develop breast cancer?

Thank you! Incredible. Life changing video on reversing fibrocystic breasts. My mother did regular mammograms in her 40s at Cedars Sinai. She ended up discovering breast cancer on self exam at 52 & died after years of horrendous treament. It was a difficult life and changed the life course of each of us. Please keep talking about research and proactive cures for women's health issues.

I have a tumour in my breast for now 10yrs, doesn't reduce n doesn't increase in size, just a little painful premenstrual, can this help me to remove it

hi dr i want to share my report with u kindly reply me

I just found out I have this fibrocystic breast condition but my dr didnt feel I needed that hormone blood test. Now I feel I should of def got it.

I found out a few years ago that i have fibrocystic breast tissue, I suffer from horrible pain that affects my life greatly. I am 40 and i have had 6 children, im not very over weight at all . My left side is getting a lot worse then my right. They want me to get mammograms each year, i had another today and they just seen the fibrocystic tissue, but said there is nothing i can do about the pain. Id love any recommendations you could give as far as diet etc. Thank you

Thanks you are pretty forthcoming. You are one of the few that wants to help heal. If I might add in reference to using the iodine : Get some guaze,, soak with odine and paint on breast about 2-3 times daily for about 3 months. Most lumps are lack of iodine in body as well as a slow metabolism and thinning of hair. Also good for bacteria, viruses, fungus epecially those on skin surface. Like she said you can also take internally. Allll other diseases are parasites eating at the mucosa, = turpentine. The main reason for excercise is to keep the lymphatic ducts open. Which is another filter like your kidneys , liver , spleen and skin. Now I do agree about mammograms not. being therapeutic unless you like radiation. " Arnica" oil works great for pain. You can get it at a natural food store. Believe it or not Wal-Mart carries something called " Pentex" . It is located on the pain relieve aisle near muscle rubs. It contains Arnica. It comes in a can , with another container inside . It startes on the can that it is 100% effective or money back. ( keep your receipt ) I never had to get refund. Worked or me. I am not a doctor or robot.

doc.I 'm 43 my ultrasound reports that there is approximately 3.7x3.5 mm sized cyst at left breast and painful I received mamogramm too I have heavy period too

What happened to the lady that posted she was making organic homemade ointments for the pain.. Did they get rid of her ?

I'm 15 and have lumps in both my breast, they have been proved to be benign but they keep changing overtime. They become painful sometimes then the pain goes away. I'm not sure what I have..

I have had 3 mam' s before I was 30 and 2 lumps taken out and now in on my 3d . I have no ovaries left eather .. taken out at 22 and 28 . Help please!!

The problem I'm finding is most centers won't give you just a breast ultrasound. That's all my doctor ordered but they require a mammogram first 🤔 I'm only early 30s, if that's raising my chances why are they forcing me to get those?

Oh my goodness! Thank you so very much. Great info. I have blue dome cysts. No one ever told me I was more prone to cancer. Going back for 2nd mam. First one was not conclusive. Radiologist said ultra sound. A little nervous.

Hi I've just turned 43, both my breasts have been really tender for the past couple of days and yesterday I found a lump in my right breast, In the past I've had an ultrasound and was told the lump was a fibroid but this lump is on my right breast the other was on the left. A few years ago I found a lump but it disappeared after my period. I'm just wondering if this is the same thing and could I be suffering from fibrocystic breasts, It's very worrying.

Do you think using castor oil packs would work?

I would reall appreciated some help

Would your feed back on breast cancer. Do u do consultations? My sister got diagnosed with breast cancer, we are anti conventional

I have a fibrocystic in both breasts and I have tenderness, swelling all the time but if I do any work like walking or jumping I feel pain and burning in my breasts but more in left. I have a watery discharge from left side two times. Please help me because I did not get such explanation from another doctor.

Within the past few months, I have a tender breast that worsen before my period, then completely go away after, then cycle back around. I have been wanting to go to a doctor, but knew they would push a mammogram on me. Please, let me know what steps I need to take to cure this.

I am in my early 40s, I started getting premenopausal symptoms at 27 and have been menopause for years now and it was because my hormone levels just started dropping really low for no apparent reasons. Nobody else in the family have the same case as me. Anyways, I have fibrocysts and have had a couple of mammograms already because my Mom had breast cancer. Not a cause of alarm because they said it was benign but I still keep having issues with breast tenderness from time to time, my worry now is that if I go back they might want me to have mammogram again, I guess my concern is, is this normal for menopause women to still have breast tenderness even after years of being menopause?????

Can I pay for an ultrasound with no mammogram? Can they refuse if I pay out of pocket? I don’t want any more mamograms
