What are the external medicines for treating breast cysts?

The treatment of breast cysts usually needs to be determined based on the severity of the disease. Topical medications are not the primary treatment, but certain auxiliary medications may relieve discomfort. You need to follow the doctor's advice to choose appropriate products.

Breast cysts are a relatively common benign breast disease. The basic characteristic is that the breast alveoli or ducts are filled with fluid to form cystic structures. In most cases, it is related to hormone level fluctuations. Cysts may cause distension and pain, especially before and after menstruation, but usually do not deteriorate into malignant tumors.

Some ointments or Chinese medicines have been tried as adjuvant treatments for breast cysts, such as breast patch products with anti-inflammatory and blood-activating ingredients, which may relieve local discomfort by promoting local blood circulation and eliminating inflammatory factors. However, there is currently limited scientific evidence, and these topical medications mainly have a soothing effect. To solve the fundamental problem, we need to focus on endocrine regulation and other potential causes.

If the cyst causes obvious pain or is accompanied by symptoms of infection, it is recommended to consult a doctor for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, you can improve breast health by adjusting your diet, eating more high-fiber foods, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and having a regular work and rest schedule. Do not use drugs without authorization, especially external medicines of unknown origin, so as not to aggravate the condition or cause side effects.
