Do Any Women On Here Also Have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome Or Cystic Fibroid Breast Tissue?

I am interested in knowing if any other women also have HS, PCOS/infertility, and/or cystic fibroid breast tissue? I’m interested in the possible hormonal aspect of HS.

My mammograms are definitely uncomfortable. Ugh. I’ve had them and ultrasounds. I have one fibroid right next to a larger cyst. They’ve biopsied the fibroid before.

Karin. I forgot to say that when you have Fibroid breast tissues, it can become so dense and a special something would have to be used to take Mammograms.

Hi Karin. I have had Fibroid breast tissue since I was 26 years old when I had my first biopsy. Be careful! Don't take it for granted. After from Age 26 with the first diagnosis to age 65, I had continued Mammograms and the one at age 65 showed suspicious signs that resulted in Cancer. I'm a Cancer Survivor for 9 years now. 😀

Many women with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) also have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Both conditions are linked to hormonal imbalances, and studies show that people with HS are 2.14 times more likely to have PCOS than those without HS. However, there is no mention of cystic fibroid breast tissue in the knowledge base Show Full Answer

If you have PCOS symptoms or concerns, it's important to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
