Can I eat bird's nest if I have multiple breast cysts?

Patients with multiple breast cysts can eat bird's nest in moderation, but it is not a "special food" to treat or improve cysts. It is more of a nutritional supplement. We should focus on the overall diet structure and healthy living habits.

Breast cysts are a common benign proliferative disease of the breast, usually manifested as fluid cysts in breast tissue. Multiple cysts mean a large number of cysts, which is generally related to fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, especially estrogen stimulation. Although cysts are not malignant lesions, they may be accompanied by chest pain or periodic discomfort, and require ultrasound examination for diagnosis and follow-up.

The main components of bird's nest are protein and water-soluble sialic acid, which have certain nutritional value, but they do not directly affect the formation or disappearance of breast cysts. It plays an indirect role by enhancing the body's immunity and supplementing nutrition. Eating a small amount of bird's nest can provide the body with high-quality protein, but it cannot be relied on to solve the problem of cysts or hormone imbalance. Excessive intake may increase the burden on the stomach.

From a nutritional perspective, patients with multiple breast cysts should follow the principle of a light and balanced diet. High-fiber foods such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits are beneficial for regulating estrogen metabolism; avoid high fat, high sugar and excessive caffeine to reduce stimulation to the breast. Daily diet can also be increased by adding foods rich in vitamins, such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, etc., to naturally regulate the body.

If the cyst is accompanied by obvious pain, irregular enlargement or abnormal changes in texture, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and evaluation as soon as possible, and do not rely solely on diet or folk remedies.
