Which is more serious, breast cyst or breast adenosis?

Compared with breast adenosis, breast cysts are usually less harmful, while breast adenosis may be more complicated, but the severity of both needs to be judged based on the specific condition, symptoms and individual circumstances. Breast cysts are generally benign cystic structures, and most simple cysts have no risk of cancer; breast adenosis may be accompanied by chest pain, breast nodules and other discomforts, and has a certain risk of cancer, which needs to be evaluated based on the nature of the lesion and the results of the examination.

Breast cysts are formed due to obstruction of the mammary ducts or accumulation of secretions, and are common in women during periods of endocrine fluctuations (such as before and after menstruation or during menopause). They appear as soft lumps that are smooth to the touch and movable. No treatment is required when discomfort is obvious, but when the cyst grows rapidly, the pain increases, or there is a concurrent infection, needle aspiration, cystectomy and other treatment measures may be required. Breast adenosis is a proliferative change in breast tissue, which is mostly caused by fluctuations in hormone levels and bad living habits. It manifests as multiple nodules that feel harder than cysts, and are usually accompanied by symptoms such as distension and pain, and periodic aggravation. If ultrasound examination reveals atypical hyperplasia or high-risk pathological changes in nodules in patients with adenosis, surgical biopsy may be required to rule out malignant lesions.

Mild symptoms of breast cysts and breast adenosis can improve the endocrine environment by adjusting diet, avoiding high-fat and high-sugar diets, and exercising moderately. Patients with breast cysts can take appropriate amounts of vitamin E to relieve cyst pain; patients with breast adenosis can use progesterone drugs under the guidance of a doctor to regulate hormone levels. If symptoms are obvious or accompanied by a family history of breast cancer, regular follow-up and ultrasound monitoring should be performed to ensure early detection and early treatment of problems and reduce health risks.
