Do your breasts feel swollen, tender, or lumpy before your period? You’re not alone. More than half of women between 30–50 experience these symptoms. It’s called fibrocystic breast disease (or fibrocystic breast changes), and while it’s not dangerous, it can be uncomfortable and emotionally draining.
At Waters Wellness, we believe these symptoms are your body’s way of asking for support, not something to ignore. Our approach combines personalized wellness care with nutritional tools like iodine to help reduce discomfort and restore balance naturally.
What Is Fibrocystic Breast Disease?
This condition is non-cancerous but can cause monthly pain and physical changes in the breasts. Common symptoms include:
-
Breast tenderness
-
Swelling before your period
-
Lumpiness or uneven texture
-
Pain when wearing a bra or lying on your side
Why Iodine Matters
Iodine is a trace mineral that breast tissue heavily depends on. Without enough iodine, your breast tissue becomes more sensitive to hormones like estrogen, leading to:
-
Increased swelling
-
Fluid retention
-
Heightened pain sensitivity
-
Dense or ropey tissue texture
