Can I drink rice wine if I have breast cyst?

Patients with breast cysts should try to avoid drinking rice wine. As an alcoholic beverage, rice wine may have a certain impact on hormone levels in the body, and breast cysts are often closely related to estrogen secretion. Controlling hormone stimulation in the diet can help prevent the cyst from further deteriorating.

Breast cyst is a common breast disease, mainly due to the cystic expansion of the glands and ducts of the breast lobules, forming a cystic structure, which is benign in most cases. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, and endocrine disorders may aggravate its symptoms or have adverse effects.

Although the alcohol content of rice wine is not high, alcohol may indirectly affect estrogen metabolism and cause fluctuations in hormone levels in the body. Especially for patients with breast cysts, such fluctuations may increase the discomfort of the cyst or cause local swelling and pain. In addition, some commercially available rice wine or handmade wine may contain additional ingredients, such as sugar, and excessive intake is not good for health.

For patients with breast cysts, a proper diet is even more important. It is recommended to consume more fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as broccoli and carrots, which help regulate hormone metabolism. Reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar and alcoholic foods, maintain a regular schedule, relax, and exercise moderately. If the cyst is accompanied by obvious pain or grows rapidly, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.
