Can breast cysts eat soy products?

People with breast cysts can generally eat soy products in moderation, but they need to pay attention to the amount consumed and individual differences to avoid excessive intake that may cause fluctuations in estrogen levels, which may affect the changes in the cysts.

Soy products such as tofu and soy milk are rich in phytoestrogen soy isoflavones, which are believed to have a bidirectional regulatory effect: they have a similar supplementary effect in people with low estrogen levels, and may have a certain inhibitory effect when estrogen levels are high. However, for patients with breast cysts, excessive intake of soy products may interfere with the hormone balance in the body and potentially increase the risk of cyst deterioration, especially in individuals who already have obvious breast hyperplasia or a family history of breast cancer. The intake of soy products should be maintained in moderation. It is generally recommended that the daily intake of soy protein is about 25 to 30 grams, and long-term large-scale consumption should be avoided. If breast cysts are accompanied by symptoms such as breast pain and menstrual disorders, it is recommended to consult a doctor first.

Patients with breast cysts should pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods and foods with many preservatives and additives, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, such as carrots, green leafy vegetables, etc., and supplement foods rich in antioxidants such as blueberries and nuts. Try to avoid drinks that may irritate the breast, such as strong tea, coffee and alcohol. Maintaining a good living habit and exercising moderately, such as walking and yoga, can help improve breast health and avoid emotional anxiety. For patients with rapid changes in breast cysts or obvious symptoms, regular breast ultrasound examinations should be performed, and treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice when necessary.
