Can breast cysts be cured?

Breast cysts can be cured. Most breast cysts are benign lesions, which can be relieved and improved through medication, lifestyle adjustments, and, if necessary, surgical treatment. If the cyst is small and has no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is usually required; if it is accompanied by pain, abnormal enlargement, or suspected of being malignant, active intervention is required.

1) Causes of breast cysts

Breast cysts are small, fluid-filled cysts that develop within the breast glands and are often related to:

- Physiological hormone fluctuations: Imbalance in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies may lead to disrupted fluid secretion in the breast lobular glands and the formation of cysts.

-Genetic factors: People with a family history of breast problems are more susceptible to the disease, and heredity is a potential factor in some patients.

-Lifestyle and environmental factors: Excessive stress, unhealthy diet (such as a high-fat diet) or long-term exposure to polluted environments may increase the risk of breast cysts.

2) Common treatment methods

-Medication: For breast cysts with mild symptoms, hormone-regulating drugs such as Dumectin or Lipoxetine are usually used to restore hormone balance. The doctor may recommend vitamin E or Chinese medicine to improve breast tissue health.

-Puncture and fluid extraction: For a large unilateral fluid-filled cyst, the cyst fluid can be extracted by puncture under ultrasound guidance, which can not only relieve pain but also facilitate further examination of the nature of the cyst fluid.

-Surgery: If the cyst recurs and affects your quality of life, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the cyst. This procedure is usually minimally invasive and has a quicker recovery.

3) Lifestyle adjustment suggestions

-Adhere to a light diet every day to reduce the intake of high fat and high sugar, and increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, such as broccoli, oranges, etc.

-Maintain a good emotional state, avoid excessive emotional fluctuations, and appropriately engage in yoga, walking and other exercises to soothe the body and mind.

- Regular breast examinations, especially for those with a family history of breast disease, should include annual breast ultrasound or mammography examinations.

Breast cysts are controllable diseases. Through medication, necessary surgical treatment and lifestyle optimization, most patients can avoid serious problems caused by cysts and improve their quality of life. If the cyst grows rapidly or is accompanied by other warning symptoms (such as abnormal nipple discharge), you should go to the hospital immediately for a clear diagnosis. Reasonable medical treatment and scientific intervention are the key to recovery.
