How to eliminate breast cysts

Breast cysts are usually treated in a targeted manner after the cause is identified. Small, asymptomatic cysts can be observed and followed up, while larger cysts or cysts that cause obvious discomfort require intervention. Breast cysts are a common benign breast disease formed by the accumulation of fluid retained in the mammary ducts. They often manifest as breast lumps and pain, but generally do not deteriorate into cancer.

Causes of breast cysts may include fluctuations in hormone levels, proliferation or degeneration of breast tissue, eating habits (high-fat, high-salt diet), and mental stress. Treatment of breast cysts is based on size, symptoms, and medical history. Small, asymptomatic cysts can be observed through regular physical examinations and breast ultrasound follow-up, and usually do not require special treatment. Such cysts may shrink naturally after hormone levels stabilize. If the cyst is large or causes pain, the cyst fluid can be drained through puncture to relieve pressure and discomfort; if the cyst fluid accumulates repeatedly, a sclerosing agent may need to be injected to prevent regeneration. If malignancy is suspected, a needle aspiration biopsy under ultrasound guidance is required to confirm the diagnosis. Hormone regulation is also a treatment for some patients, such as low-dose oral contraceptives or hormone antagonists such as lenoxan, tamoxifen, etc., but it must be used under the guidance of a doctor. In severe cases, surgical removal of the cyst may be required, especially when the cyst proliferates significantly, is repeatedly infected, or affects daily life.

To avoid the development or recurrence of breast cysts, you need to pay attention to a healthy lifestyle and adjust your diet. Reduce high-fat diets, eat more foods rich in fiber and vitamins, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, fish, etc. Avoid irritating diets. In addition, maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise can help balance endocrine. Regular breast examinations should be performed. If abnormalities are found, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner and follow the doctor's advice for treatment or intervention to avoid missing other breast lesions.
