A breast biopsy is a simple procedure. A sample of breast tissue will be removed, either by inserting a thin needle or by making a small cut and removing a sample of the tissue.
Depending on how the doctor chooses to obtain the biopsy, you will either receive local or general anesthesia.
The tissue sample will be sent to a laboratory and examined under a microscope by trained technicians. The pathology results will aid your doctors in making a diagnosis.
Some people think that there is a link between caffeine and fibrocystic breast disease. Some women think drinking coffee and colas or eating chocolate contributes to this. According to MedlinePlus, there is no clear proof of this.
