What medicine can be used to treat breast cysts

Breast cysts can be relieved and controlled by using symptomatic medications such as hormone regulating drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and health care drugs, but the specific treatment needs to be determined based on the diagnosis of a professional doctor.

1) Symptomatic drug treatment

Breast cysts are often related to fluctuations in estrogen levels in the body, and your doctor may prescribe hormone-regulating medications, such as Diane-35 (oral contraceptives) or tamoxifen. These medications can help reduce the oversensitivity of breast tissue to hormones and relieve the enlargement and pain of the cyst. If a breast cyst is accompanied by localized, long-term pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) can effectively relieve inflammation and discomfort.

2) Local soothing and health care treatment

Some health-care products that relieve breast cyst symptoms can also help. For example, supplements containing vitamin E and vitamin B6 can help relieve discomfort in breast tissue. In addition, topical ointments, such as local warm compress ointments or creams, can also help reduce breast tightness. Although these methods cannot directly eliminate cysts, they are especially effective for minor discomfort.

3) Supportive therapy other than hormone regulation

In addition to drug treatment, breast cysts can also be relieved through diet and lifestyle adjustments. For example, avoiding high-fat or high-calorie food intake, consuming anti-inflammatory foods such as deep-sea fish rich in Omega-3 every day, and maintaining a stable mood and good sleep all have a positive effect on breast health.

If you have breast cysts, it is recommended to develop the habit of regular breast ultrasound examinations. If the cyst continues to increase in size or is accompanied by obvious tenderness, you need to go to a specialist hospital in time to clarify the specific nature through further puncture drainage or pathological examination. Depending on the progression of the disease, the doctor may also adjust the treatment plan, such as adding surgical resection.
