Transcript text: One of the signs and symptoms of fibrocystic breast tissue can be:
Hormonally sensitive
Related to trauma
A sign of cancer
Nonexistent
Solution
The answer is the first one: hormonally sensitive.
Explanation for each option:
Hormonally sensitive: This is correct. Fibrocystic breast tissue is often hormonally sensitive, meaning that symptoms can fluctuate with the menstrual cycle due to changes in hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone.
Related to trauma: This is incorrect. While breast trauma can cause changes in breast tissue, fibrocystic breast changes are not typically related to trauma. They are more commonly associated with hormonal fluctuations.
A sign of cancer: This is incorrect. Fibrocystic breast changes are benign and not a sign of cancer. However, they can sometimes make it more challenging to detect cancerous lumps, so regular monitoring is important.
Nonexistent: This is incorrect. Fibrocystic breast changes are a real and common condition experienced by many women, characterized by lumpy or rope-like breast tissue.
In summary, fibrocystic breast tissue is hormonally sensitive, and symptoms can vary with hormonal changes.
