What are the treatments for breast cysts?

Treatment for breast cysts includes observation, medication, and surgical intervention, depending on the size of the cyst, symptoms, and whether it affects normal life or health.

If the breast cyst is small and asymptomatic, no special treatment is usually required, and only regular follow-up through breast ultrasound or mammography is required. If the cyst causes discomfort such as breast tenderness and pressure, medication can be used to regulate hormone levels and relieve discomfort, such as oral vitamin E, progesterone emulsion or birth control pills. For cysts with a larger diameter or obvious symptoms, the cyst fluid can be discharged through puncture and aspiration. This method is simple and recovers quickly. When the cyst is infected or the risk of malignancy increases, surgical removal may be required, such as minimally invasive resection, ductectomy, etc., to ensure complete cure and exclude the possibility of malignant lesions.

In daily life, in order to promote breast health, it is recommended to maintain good living habits, such as regular work and rest, reducing stress, avoiding staying up late, and appropriate low-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or yoga, which helps endocrine balance. In terms of diet, you can eat more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus, nuts, and kiwis, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, and quit smoking and drinking. If you find persistent breast pain or suspicious lumps, you should go to the breast department for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.
