Can breast cysts be unblocked by massage?

It is not recommended to clear breast cysts through massage. Repeated massage may be counterproductive. Scientific treatment methods should be chosen according to the specific circumstances.

Breast cysts are fluid-filled cystic structures formed in the breast lobules or ducts. Most of them are benign changes. They are related to breast hyperplasia and hormone level fluctuations, and are common in women aged 30-50. The size of the cysts varies and may change slightly with the menstrual cycle, but they generally do not disappear on their own.

Although massage is believed to promote local blood circulation, strong pressure on breast cysts may cause damage to local tissue or inflammation. In addition, breast tissue is relatively fragile, and repeated stimulation may aggravate discomfort or even have a counterproductive effect. If the cyst does not cause obvious symptoms or abnormal sensations, no special treatment is usually required; if the cyst is large or accompanied by pain or swelling, a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible for further evaluation.

To reduce the trouble caused by breast cysts, you can adjust your diet, eat fresh fruits and vegetables in a balanced way, avoid high-fat and high-sugar foods, and try to reduce stress. Perform appropriate breast examinations regularly, and if conditions permit, arrange a breast ultrasound or mammography examination once a year to detect and respond to abnormal conditions in a timely manner. If you find that the cyst is growing significantly or the symptoms are getting worse, please seek medical attention in time and let a professional doctor determine whether treatment or puncture drainage is needed.
