Abstract

Introduction: Fibrocystic mastopathy is a common benign condition affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by fibrocystic changes in breast tissue that can cause lumps, cyclical breast pain, and other symptoms. Objective: Update the comprehensive approach to fibrocystic mastopathy, through a bibliographic review for the contribution of primary health care. Methodology: An exhaustive bibliographic review of scientific articles, such as PubMed, Google Scholar and Scielo, was carried out, focusing on diagnosis and treatment in the field of primary health care, published in the last five years to guarantee the relevance and timeliness of the information. Development: It was identified that fibrocystic mastopathy is a complex entity that includes a variety of benign alterations in the breast tissue. The diagnosis is based on history, physical inspection of the breasts and imaging techniques. Treatment is aimed at attenuating symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients, using conservative approaches to more invasive interventions when necessary.
