Multiple breast cysts are painful when pressed

Pain when pressing multiple breast cysts may be due to increased pressure inside the cysts or an accompanying inflammatory response. This is usually a benign lesion, but if the pain persists or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly to get a clear diagnosis and take treatment measures.

Multiple breast cysts are mostly caused by fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, and are common in women of childbearing age, especially before and after the menstrual cycle, when pain is likely to increase. This condition is usually caused by an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone, which leads to breast hyperplasia and fluid accumulation to form cysts. External environmental factors such as excessive stress in life and a high-fat diet may also increase the risk of disease. External causes such as long-term exposure to irritating chemicals and excessive breast manipulation may also aggravate symptoms. This disease usually manifests as a soft, round, well-defined lump that can be found by touch and is painful when pressed. In severe cases, cysts may compress surrounding tissues or cause inflammation, manifesting as swelling, redness, heat, or obvious tenderness.

Usually, pain can be improved through symptom relief measures, such as local hot compresses to promote blood circulation, relieve pressure in the milk ducts, and help relieve pain. In terms of diet, you should reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, and consume more foods rich in dietary fiber such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, etc. Maintaining a regular life, reducing mood swings, and increasing exercise appropriately can also help regulate hormone levels. In terms of drug treatment, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) under the guidance of a doctor to relieve pain. If the cyst is large or there is persistent discomfort, fine needle puncture and aspiration of fluid can be performed to relieve compression, sometimes combined with ultrasound guidance. If the cyst recurs or malignant lesions are suspected, surgical resection may be required to rule out hidden dangers.

Breast health is closely related to women's overall health. When facing similar problems, there is no need to be overly anxious, but it should not be taken lightly. If the pain continues to worsen or is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, you should consult a doctor in time and use ultrasound and other examination methods to determine the cause of the disease. Do not intervene on your own. In daily life, regular self-examination and physical examination are also effective means to maintain breast health. It can help women discover potential problems as early as possible and deal with them in time, so as to stay away from illness and improve the quality of life.
