Which department should I go to if I have breast cysts?

If you have breast cysts, you need to go to the hospital to see the breast surgery department or general surgery department. Depending on the different department settings of the hospital, you can choose the corresponding department.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease. They are fluid cysts that appear in breast tissue. They are usually benign, but still require evaluation by a professional doctor. The formation of cysts is related to a variety of factors, such as fluctuations in estrogen levels and blocked breast ducts. Women may experience changes in breast tissue during different physiological cycles, especially before and after menstruation.

Generally, breast cysts are divided into simple cysts and complex cysts. Simple cysts are usually asymptomatic, vary in size, and are soft in texture; complex cysts may be accompanied by pain or breast distension and may have an irregular shape when touched. If the cyst is large or feels oppressive, it may cause local discomfort, but most cysts do not deteriorate into cancer.

Every woman should check her breast health regularly through self-examination or hospital check-up. If you find lumps, pain, fluid secretion or shape changes in your breasts, you should seek medical attention in time and choose breast surgery or general surgery to undergo further examinations according to the doctor's instructions, such as breast ultrasound, puncture or aspiration treatment, etc. Developing a healthy lifestyle, maintaining hormonal balance, reducing irregular diet and excessive stress can help reduce the risk of breast cysts.
