What are the symptoms of breast cysts?

Breast cysts are usually caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body. The main symptoms include breast lumps and mild pain when touched, which is especially obvious before menstruation. If necessary, medical examination and diagnosis are required.

Breast cysts are benign lesions that are common in women of childbearing age. Their formation is closely related to changes in estrogen levels. When the fluid in the local breast ducts is not discharged smoothly, cysts may occur. The structure of the breast is similar to a sponge, and cysts can be understood as abnormal accumulation of fluid in the "sponge holes".

Many people will find that breast cysts are round or oval lumps that vary in hardness and softness, with clear boundaries and free movement, which may be accompanied by a sense of distension and pain, especially before and after menstruation. Some cysts are small and cause no obvious discomfort, but when the cyst is too large, it not only affects the comfort, but may also compress the surrounding tissues and cause more obvious pain.

Adjusting your work and rest schedule and reducing mood swings can help stabilize hormone levels in the body, thereby reducing the risk of breast cysts. If the cyst continues to grow, the pain worsens, or the nature is uncertain, you should go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound examination and further evaluation, and a professional doctor will develop a treatment plan if necessary.
