Background: With the better understanding of physiology and development of breast tissue it is by and large now agreed that BBD is the Aberration of Normal Development and Involution (ANDI). Objective: To compare occurrence of benign breast disease according to age groups, marital status and parity. Materials & methods: The present study comprises of 76 females and 2 males of Benign Breast Diseases, who attended the out patient department and indoor of Department of Surgery, Nehru Chikitsalaya, B.R.D. Medical College, Gorakhpur. Results: Benign Breast Diseases were most common in third decade (51.28%) followed by fourth decade (23.07%) of life. Most of the patients belonged to middle (37.17%) and higher (32.5%) socio economic status, were literate (92.3%) and were urbanites (65.4%). Early menarche, nulliparity, fewer offsprings and late first confinement were found to be associated with increased incidence of Benign Breast Disease. Number of parity decreased the incidence of BBD. Thin built and patients having low or average breast fat content had higher incidence of BBD. Family history of BBD or Breast Carcinoma was important. History of Breast carcinoma or BBD in mothers was more common.
