Are breast cysts precancerous?

Breast cysts are not precancerous lesions, but if you find related symptoms or abnormal changes, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

Breast cysts are a relatively common benign breast lesion, which is often related to fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, especially before and after menstruation. Such cysts are usually small fluid-filled vesicles and rarely develop into malignant tumors. However, regular examinations and attention to breast health are still crucial, especially for women with a family history of breast cancer.

Some breast cysts may cause pain or breast distension, especially before menstruation. Small cysts usually cause no symptoms, but larger cysts may cause localized pressure. Ultrasound is usually the best way to make a definitive diagnosis. If the cyst is simple and has no obvious abnormalities, no special treatment is usually needed. However, complex cysts or cysts that continue to grow require vigilance and further monitoring.

In order to better prevent breast problems, it is a good habit to do a self-examination once a month, especially a few days after the end of menstruation. In addition to maintaining a healthy work and rest and eating habits, you should also avoid long-term emotional stress, because hormone levels will be affected by your psychological state. If you find breast pain, cysts that grow rapidly or have irregular shapes, be sure to go to a regular hospital immediately to check for potential risks in a timely manner.
