What to do if you have bilateral breast cysts

Bilateral breast cysts are usually caused by breast hyperplasia or other benign lesions. If there is no obvious pain or other symptoms, regular follow-up observation can be performed. If the cysts become larger, the pain is obvious, or if lesions are suspected, medical attention should be sought promptly.

Breast cysts are fluid-filled cystic structures that appear in breast tissue, often caused by multiple factors such as hormone level fluctuations, breast hyperplasia, or long-term mental stress. Some patients may experience swelling and pain due to cysts irritating breast tissue, or feel a lump when touched, or worsening symptoms before and after menstruation. Small cysts generally do not require special treatment and can mostly be stabilized through dietary adjustments, regular life, and regular follow-up; larger cysts, especially when accompanied by other symptoms, require intervention. In terms of treatment, minimally invasive puncture and drainage can effectively reduce obvious cyst pressure; hormonal drugs such as diphenylamine can help regulate endocrine imbalances; for those with recurrent cysts or suspected malignant changes, surgical resection and pathological examination may be required.

Breast health care is essential to reduce the risk of recurring cysts. In terms of diet, eat more green leafy vegetables, beans and foods rich in vitamin E, and eat less high-fat and high-sugar foods to maintain endocrine balance. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or yoga, can improve blood circulation in the breasts. Self-check breast changes every month, seek medical attention if abnormalities are found, and have a breast ultrasound at least once a year to monitor breast health. Avoiding excessive stress and negative emotions helps to keep your endocrine system running smoothly. If cyst-related symptoms worsen, you need to go to a breast specialist as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.
