Can breast cysts disappear if I don't have my period?

Breast cysts have little to do with menstruation and will not necessarily disappear automatically after menopause.

Breast cysts are a common benign disease, which is often related to fluctuations in estrogen levels. After entering menopause, the estrogen level in women's bodies will decrease. Some cysts caused by hormone fluctuations may shrink or stabilize, but this does not mean that all breast cysts will disappear on their own. The disappearance of cysts is related to many factors such as their size, nature, and their own metabolic capacity, and is not as simple as the cessation of menstruation.

If the breast cyst is small or asymptomatic, no special treatment is generally required, and changes can be observed during regular checkups. However, some cysts may change over time, such as becoming larger, painful when touched, or causing other discomfort. If the cyst is accompanied by local redness, swelling, nodules, or even abnormal secretions in the breast, it is necessary to promptly check for other underlying diseases. Even if some women have stopped menstruating, hormone replacement therapy or other endocrine disruptions may cause cyst changes.

It is recommended to have regular breast examinations every year, including ultrasound examinations or physical examinations. If the cyst characteristics change abnormally, you should actively go to the hospital to seek professional guidance. Do not make your own judgments to avoid delaying treatment.
