Is breast cyst a serious disease?

Breast cysts are usually not serious and most are benign lesions, but if the cyst grows rapidly or is accompanied by pain, secretions, or other abnormalities, you should be alert to potential pathological problems and seek medical attention in time. Cysts are usually caused by hormone level fluctuations, breast hyperplasia, etc., and are controllable to a certain extent.

Breast cysts are more common in women aged 35-50 years old and are closely related to changes in hormone levels in the body. Its formation may be related to factors such as excessive estrogen, emotional tension, and improper diet, and manifests as local lumps in the breast, or accompanied by a feeling of distension and pain. This type of cyst often changes with the menstrual cycle, and gradually eases or even disappears when ovarian function declines. However, if the cyst persists, irregular lumps are felt, the texture is hard, or accompanied by abnormal nipple secretions, local skin depressions, etc., vigilance should be increased, as it may be related to breast cancer. Ultrasound examination can be used to determine the size and nature of the cyst; if necessary, breast puncture can be performed to rule out malignant lesions. After a clear diagnosis, special intervention is usually not required, but when there are symptomatic cysts or suspected lesions, suction drainage, minimally invasive surgical resection, and other treatments can be selected.
