What foods are not suitable for breast cysts?

Patients with breast cysts should avoid high-fat, high-sugar foods, as well as foods containing estrogen or that promote hormone secretion, which may aggravate cyst symptoms or affect disease recovery.

Breast cysts are a common benign disease that is closely related to fluctuations in estrogen levels. High-fat foods (such as animal fats, fatty meats, etc.) will increase the synthesis of estrogen in the body, thereby interfering with hormone metabolism and exacerbating the discomfort of breast cysts. High-sugar foods (such as desserts, milk tea, etc.) can easily trigger inflammatory responses and weaken the immune system. Some foods contain phytoestrogens, such as soy products and flax seeds. Although moderate intake is good for health, for patients with breast cysts, excessive consumption may further affect hormone balance when hormone levels in the body are not effectively regulated.

Patients with breast cysts are advised to follow a low-fat, low-sugar, high-fiber diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, such as broccoli and carrots; choose foods rich in high-quality protein, such as fish and lean meat, instead of soy products; reduce the intake of processed foods, such as pickled foods and high-fat milk. At the same time, maintaining a regular schedule and exercising moderately will help stabilize hormone levels. If the cyst causes obvious discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, and regulate hormone levels through medication or other interventions under the guidance of a doctor. A healthy diet is only an auxiliary means, and professional treatment is the key. Dietary restrictions do not need to be too harsh, and should be adjusted appropriately while meeting nutritional needs.
