Can I get pregnant and have a baby with breast cysts?

Breast cysts do not usually affect pregnancy and fertility, but it is necessary to evaluate whether the cyst is benign and consult a doctor.

Breast cysts are a common benign breast lesion, mostly caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body. They appear as small fluid-filled cysts in the breasts and are common in women of childbearing age. Most breast cysts have no obvious symptoms and are only discovered during physical examinations or self-examinations. Benign cysts generally do not affect the endocrine system or reproductive function.

If the cyst grows significantly, causes pain, or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms (such as abnormal nipple discharge, local skin changes), you should pay attention to whether there is a risk of malignancy, but this is relatively rare. During pregnancy, the hormone level in a woman's body changes significantly, which may cause the cyst to grow slightly or cause tactile sensitivity. This is a natural reaction to the hormones.

If you have been diagnosed with breast cysts and are planning to get pregnant, you can consult a breast surgeon to confirm whether the condition is stable and make sure to complete a basic health assessment before pregnancy. Pay attention to breast self-examination during pregnancy and communicate with your doctor in time if you find any new abnormalities to avoid ignoring potential problems.
