This condition means you have to be even more vigilant about self breast exams and getting regular checkups, and it can sometimes be associated with tender or sore breasts. One suggested remedy for lessening the pain associated with fibrocystic breasts is to reduce or eliminate caffeine. Although the evidence supporting this treatment is mainly anecdotal, it might be worth a try!
