When a woman hears from a doctor the diagnosis of fibro-adenomatosis of both mammary glands, it means that both breasts have undergone the disease. At the same time, it is customary to identify various forms of violations, among which:
- Localized fibroadenomatosis of the mammary gland is a violation, which indicates that the seals have a denser structure, clear boundaries. In this case, there is no spread to other tissues, i.e. affects exclusively glandular. When palpation, a woman experiences pain. Education is defined fairly clearly. As a result, the skin shows a so-called tuberosity, which is uneven. This symptom is one of the first that a woman pays attention to.
- Diffuse form. With this type of violation, the lesions are widespread, they occur throughout the gland. In this case, the formation is found in both glands. When performing palpation, the doctor determines a large number of nodules that have a non-uniform structure, granularity. Usually, painless.

- stress, overstrain. Constant nervous breakdowns, psychoemotional instability, negatively affect the level of female sex hormones, which eventually causes a malfunction;
- problems of an intimate nature. Interrupted sexual intercourse, his absence, constant dissatisfaction, often leads to disruption of the hormonal system of a woman;
- gynecological diseases, abortion, even by medication, also adversely affect the work of the hormonal system;
