What should I pay attention to when I have a breast cyst?

Breast cysts are usually benign lesions, but they still require regular monitoring and attention to adjustments in lifestyle habits.

Breast cysts are cystic masses formed by blocked milk ducts and fluid accumulation. They are common in women, especially those between the ages of 30 and 50. They usually appear as soft or elastic lumps that may fluctuate when pressed. In most cases, they are painless, but they may also cause discomfort due to increased size or menstrual fluctuations.

In terms of diet, it is recommended to reduce high-fat content and excessive caffeine intake, as these may aggravate the discomfort of cysts and increase breast sensitivity. Eating more foods rich in vitamin E and vitamin A, such as nuts, carrots, and pumpkins, is beneficial to breast health. In terms of work and rest, you should have a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and relieve stress, as endocrine fluctuations often affect breast health.

If the cyst is significantly larger, painful, or accompanied by other suspected abnormalities (such as nipple discharge, etc.), you should see a doctor as soon as possible to check for potential problems through ultrasound examination or other methods recommended by the doctor. Regular physical examinations are an important means of detecting and managing breast cysts and should not be ignored.
