How to treat breast cysts

Treatment for breast cysts depends on the size of the cyst, symptoms, and the impact it has on the patient's life. Generally, benign breast cysts do not require special treatment, but if the cyst is large and causes discomfort or continues to grow, your doctor may recommend aspiration, medication to relieve symptoms, or surgical removal in special cases. Breast cysts are caused by the blockage of the milk ducts due to fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, resulting in fluid accumulation. Aspiration is a common treatment method in which a fine needle is inserted into the cyst to extract the fluid, thereby relieving pain and pressure. For patients with obvious symptoms, your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs or hormone-regulating drugs to help relieve discomfort. Surgical removal is suitable for repeated recurrence of cysts or abnormal morphology to rule out the possibility of malignant lesions. Dietary management and lifestyle adjustments can also assist in the treatment of breast cysts. It is recommended to increase fiber-rich foods such as whole grains and green vegetables, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly. Regular physical examinations and self-examinations are also effective means of preventing and monitoring breast health. If you find abnormal changes in your breasts, please see a doctor in time to ensure that potential problems are discovered early and appropriate treatment measures are taken.
