Re: Fibrocystic breast tissue...QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Another question if anyone can help me........ does anyone know what

I can do to help get rid of " fibrocystic breast tissue " ?? I have

Hashi's, so it looks like I can't do iodine supplements now. I do use

Natural Progesterone cream 2 weeks each month, but I still have that

problem of fibrocystic breasts. Also I just started up taking Vitex

(Chasteberry), am hoping that may help but don't know.

Is there anything else I can do?? I seems like the only time

the " fibrocystic-ness " eased up or went away temporarily for me was

after I delivered my last baby and was nursing him. As soon as I

stopped, the " fibrocystic breasts " came back. What can I do??

Thanks for any help!

You could try vitamin E 400mcg a day, that helped me for awhile but

then I found I had to take iodoral (iodine) for it to truly go away

Marcy,

Iodine would not be eliminated for you with Hashi's. How long have you been

using

progesterone? It does build up in your body after several months. Have you

done any

testing to see what your levels are? If not, it would be prudent for you to

test. Chasteberry

may affect certain hormone levels. Do you take birth control? If so, it might

not be a good

idea to also take chasteberry. Items like chasteberry and black cohash can be

very helpful

but also can cause problems if taken too long. Especially if taken in

conjunction with

hormones.
