Do breast cysts usually grow fast?

The growth rate of breast cysts varies from person to person. They are usually benign and change slowly, but if you find any abnormalities, please seek medical attention immediately.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease, mostly caused by fluctuations in hormone levels, especially in women of childbearing age. Cysts are usually filled with fluid and can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Some people may have no symptoms at all, while others may feel a local lump or mild discomfort.

The growth rate of cysts is usually affected by many factors, such as women's menstrual cycle, changes in hormone levels and lifestyle habits. Some people may find that the cysts slightly increase before menstruation, and then shrink on their own. If the cyst grows rapidly in a short period of time, accompanied by pain or local skin changes, it needs to be taken seriously. Although most breast cysts are harmless, they may be confused with other lesions in some cases.

It is very important to do regular breast self-examination and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you feel a new lump, irregular shape, or pain in your breast, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound or other evaluation as soon as possible. At the same time, keep a light diet, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, exercise more, and improve your overall health.
