How many grades of breast cysts are there?

There is generally no clear grading standard for breast cysts, but they can be divided into physiological cysts, benign lesions, and complex cysts that require close attention based on size, morphology, symptoms, and development. The severity and treatment of breast cysts mainly depend on the results of imaging examinations and the patient's physical manifestations.

Usually, physiological breast cysts often have no obvious pathological changes. They often appear during menstruation or hormonal fluctuations. Most of them are single small and smooth cysts with transparent liquid contents, and usually do not require treatment. Benign cysts are more common in fibrocystic breast disease, accompanied by mild breast tenderness or periodic discomfort. After ultrasound or mammography examination, doctors usually make judgments based on imaging classification (such as BI-RADS grading) for this type of cyst, and most of them do not require special treatment. Complex breast cysts often show thickening and irregularity inside the cyst or wall, and may have blood flow signals, indicating the risk of malignancy. If suspected lesions are seen in imaging examinations, such as BI-RADS level 4 or above, further fine needle aspiration biopsy or surgical resection is required to rule out malignant lesions.

In daily life, in order to prevent the cyst from getting worse or becoming malignant, you should avoid eating too much high-fat food and health products containing estrogen, and maintain good emotional management. If you find that the breast cyst is growing rapidly, there is persistent pain, or there is skin dimpling, or abnormal nipple secretion, you should immediately see a doctor, conduct a detailed examination, and get treatment recommendations from a professional doctor.
