Do breast cysts require pathological examination?

Breast cysts usually do not require pathological examination unless certain specific symptoms or risk factors are present. Breast cysts are a relatively common benign change in the breast, usually formed by small fluid-filled cysts that may show cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle. This is a benign lesion that many women experience at different stages. Only when the cyst has certain characteristics, such as increasing in size, becoming harder in texture, or accompanied by nipple discharge, and showing irregular shapes in imaging examinations, the doctor may recommend further examination, including pathological biopsy, to rule out more serious conditions.

In daily life, most breast cysts have no obvious symptoms and may be discovered through self-examination or appear during a physical examination. Some cysts may become sensitive or painful before the menstrual cycle. For cases where the pain is mild and the cyst features are typical, doctors usually advocate observation and regular follow-up to monitor its changes. Ultrasound examination can more clearly observe the characteristics of the cyst and is a common diagnostic tool. If the cyst causes discomfort or affects the quality of life, you can consider suction treatment under the doctor's advice. This is a relatively simple procedure.

In order to effectively manage breast health issues, women are advised to perform regular breast self-examinations and professional physical examinations to detect any abnormal changes early. At the same time, it is also very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and reducing stress. If a breast cyst is found to be accompanied by abnormal changes or there are risk factors such as family history, a specialist should be consulted in time to assess whether more in-depth examination and treatment are needed.
