How to reduce breast cysts

Breast cysts can be helped to disappear by improving lifestyle, medication, and, if necessary, surgical intervention, but the premise is to identify the nature of the cyst and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. A healthy diet, maintaining a regular schedule, and reducing stress can also help breast health.

1) Possible causes of breast cysts

Breast cysts are cystic structures formed by the accumulation of fluid in the breast glands, which are mainly related to fluctuations in endocrine hormone levels. The menstrual cycle and the imbalance of progesterone and estrogen may be the main causes. Mental stress, an unreasonable diet, lack of exercise, and long-term use of certain hormone drugs may also increase the risk of breast cysts. Environmental factors (such as radiation and chemical exposure) and genetic factors also play a role in some cases.

2) Main treatment methods for breast cysts

-Drug treatment: For some symptomatic breast cysts, drugs can be used for endocrine regulation under the guidance of a doctor. For example, progesterone drugs can be used to stabilize hormone levels, or vitamin E can be taken for a short period of time to promote glandular metabolism. Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoyao Pills may also be effective in relieving breast pain symptoms, but they need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

-Dietary regulation: Adjusting eating habits is critical for breast health. It is recommended to reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, while increasing foods rich in fiber and antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Phytoestrogens in foods such as green tea and flax seeds may help regulate hormone balance.

- Surgery when necessary: ​​If a breast cyst rapidly enlarges or causes symptoms such as pain or infection, surgical intervention should be considered. Common surgical procedures include fine needle aspiration of cyst fluid or mastectomy to relieve symptoms and rule out malignant lesions.

3) Daily prevention and care advice

Developing a good lifestyle is good for breast health. For example, doing low- to medium-intensity exercise (such as brisk walking and yoga) 3-5 times a week can help stabilize endocrine and reduce the risk of breast disease. Long-term mental stress and excessive pressure should be avoided, which may aggravate hormone fluctuations. It is also important to maintain regular self-examination. If you find breast abnormalities, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.

If breast cysts have obvious symptoms (such as pain or continued enlargement of the mass), please go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound examination and seek professional advice in time. Breast diseases require a comprehensive consideration of the cause and health status to determine the treatment plan. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence. Early detection and early treatment will have better results.
