Is there any medicine for breast cysts?

Whether breast cysts require medication depends mainly on the nature of the cyst and the symptoms. If there is obvious discomfort or the cyst has a malignant tendency, you need to see a doctor in time and let the doctor decide on the treatment plan.

Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that form within the breast tissue and are mostly benign. This condition may be related to fluctuations in estrogen levels, breast hyperplasia, and especially fluctuations in the size of the cysts during a woman's menstrual cycle. Usually, small, asymptomatic cysts do not require special treatment and may even resolve on their own.

If the cyst is large or painful, you can use anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs or hormones under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. For cysts that recur or cause discomfort, your doctor may recommend puncture and drainage to extract fluid to relieve pressure. In rare cases, if the cyst is suspected to be malignant, further examination or surgical removal may be required to determine the cause.

In daily life, keep a stable mood, eat more fiber-rich foods, and reduce fat intake, which is good for breast health. If you find that the cyst is enlarged, the shape changes suddenly, or is accompanied by abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor after the condition is clarified.
