Can breast cysts turn into cancer?

Breast cysts usually do not turn into cancer, but if they are accompanied by other abnormal symptoms or family history, they still need to be closely monitored. Breast cysts are a common benign breast disease, usually caused by the expansion and retention of breast alveoli, and are closely related to fluctuations in estrogen levels. This disease is more common in women of childbearing age and most of them do not cause obvious discomfort. Only a few people will experience swelling or pain or feel a lump. Although breast cysts themselves are not easy to become cancerous, if there are symptoms such as rapid enlargement of the lump, asymmetry, obvious tenderness or abnormal secretions, you should carefully check for potential malignant lesions.

The occurrence of breast cysts is mainly related to the fluctuation and disorder of hormone levels in the body. Sometimes, ovarian dysfunction may also lead to the development of the disease. Genetic factors, mental stress and unreasonable diet structure (such as excessive intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods) can also increase the risk of breast diseases. If there is a history of breast cancer in a woman's family, she should be more careful about breast cysts on a daily basis, and regular examinations are the key to prevention. Clinical diagnosis usually requires the use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging to clarify the nature of the disease, and aspiration or tissue biopsy if necessary to rule out the possibility of malignancy.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat a light diet, avoid eating too much high-sugar, high-fat and high-salt foods, and eat more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits. Regular work and rest and moderate exercise can help maintain stable hormone levels. Women over 40 years old or with a family history of breast cancer are recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination at least once every 1-2 years to detect possible problems early. If a breast cyst has suspicious symptoms or persistent discomfort, go to the hospital for a comprehensive evaluation in time to avoid delaying the disease. Regular self-examination of the breast is also a practical prevention method.
