How much does it cost to treat breast cysts?

The cost of treating breast cysts varies depending on the treatment method, region and hospital level. Generally, a single course of treatment may cost from several hundred to several thousand yuan. It is recommended to determine the specific plan based on the doctor's diagnosis.

Breast cysts are a relatively common benign breast disease in women, mostly caused by hormone fluctuations or blocked breast ducts. They manifest as cystic masses in the breast. Some patients may experience swelling and pain, but in most cases, cysts are harmless. Depending on the nature of the cyst and the severity of the symptoms, doctors will choose to observe, use medication, puncture drainage, or surgical resection to treat it.

The cost depends mainly on the treatment method chosen. If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary, and only regular breast ultrasound examinations are required, which costs about a few hundred yuan per year. If medication is required, such as oral hormone drugs or traditional Chinese medicine, the monthly cost is mostly in the range of several hundred yuan. For cyst fluid puncture extraction or radiofrequency treatment, the cost of a single treatment ranges from 1,500 yuan to 3,000 yuan, while the cost of surgical resection may be as high as 5,000 yuan or even more. It is generally more economical to choose a public hospital, and medical insurance may also cover part of the cost.

In order to effectively prevent and manage breast cysts, you should develop good living habits, such as maintaining a low-fat and high-fiber diet, regular work and rest, proper exercise, and reducing coffee and alcohol intake. If you find that the breast mass is enlarged, the pain is aggravated, or there are other abnormal conditions, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and consultation as soon as possible. The doctor will give appropriate treatment suggestions.
