What dietary taboos should be paid attention to for breast cysts

Patients with breast cysts need to pay attention to their daily diet, avoid excessive intake of irritating foods and foods with high hormone content, and ensure a balanced diet.

Breast cysts are a common benign breast disease that is often related to hormone level fluctuations and is common in women of childbearing age. Although diet is not a direct cause of the disease, bad habits may affect the balance of hormones in the body, thereby affecting the development of the disease.

Spicy foods, caffeinated drinks (such as coffee and strong tea), and high-fat and greasy foods can easily stimulate the endocrine system and are not good for breast health. In particular, foods with high levels of phytoestrogens (such as soy products and large amounts of nuts) may aggravate the imbalance of hormone levels in the body and need to be controlled in moderation. Foods such as green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, which helps hormone metabolism and are more suitable for inclusion in daily diets.

Avoid blindly trying health supplements or tonics, and maintain a light and low-salt diet. If the pain of breast cysts is severe, recurring, or accompanied by other discomforts, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time for professional examination and treatment.
