According to an article from the NIH, for most women with fibrocystic changes and no symptoms, no treatment is needed (although closer follow-up may be advised). Women with mild discomfort may benefit from supportive bras or over-the-counter pain relievers. For a very small number of women with painful cysts, draining the fluid by FNA can help relieve symptoms. Many other women without any large cysts have breast pain and tenderness.
Some women report that their breast symptoms improve if they avoid caffeine and other stimulants (methylxanthines) found in coffee, tea, chocolate, and many soft drinks. However, studies have not found those stimulants to have a significant impact on symptoms. But many women and their doctors feel that avoiding these foods and drinks for a couple of months is worth trying. Because breast swelling toward the end of the menstrual cycle is painful to some women, some doctors recommend that women reduce salt in their diets or take diuretics (drugs to remove salt and fluid from the body). According to the same article, studies have not found diuretics to be better than pills that do not have any medicine in them (placebos).
