The shape of a breast cyst

Breast cysts are generally round or oval in shape, usually smooth and with clear borders, and their shape is an important reference factor in the diagnosis process. Breast cysts are a common benign disease in our body, and many people may find them during routine physical examinations. Cysts are small vesicles formed by the accumulation of fluid in the breast, most of which are caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body. They may become more obvious or sensitive before and after the menstrual cycle.

Breast cysts are mostly soft and elastic when palpated, and you may feel it sliding when you press lightly with your fingers. Compared with malignant tumors, the surface of cysts is smoother, and unlike malignant tumors, they are not full of "irregularity" or have the feeling of "grabbing" your fingers. Depending on the patient's condition, breast cysts can be single or multiple, and sometimes accompanied by mild pain or breast tenderness. This tenderness is especially likely to intensify before and after menstruation.

For breast cysts, if there is no obvious discomfort or change, usually no special treatment is required, only regular monitoring is required. However, if the cyst increases in size in a short period of time or severe local pain is felt, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time. In daily life, maintaining good living habits, such as a reasonable diet and regular exercise, can help reduce the incidence of cysts. Eating more fiber-rich foods and avoiding excessive caffeine intake also have a positive effect on breast health. For women who experience more significant pain during menstruation, it is also important to keep a relaxed mood and reduce stress.
