How big is breast cyst cancer and how to treat it

The likelihood of breast cysts becoming cancerous is generally low, and the vast majority of breast cysts are benign, so proper management can reduce the risk. The key is to have regular checkups to detect abnormal changes in a timely manner.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease, mostly caused by breast hyperplasia, breast duct blockage or hormone fluctuations. They usually appear as round or oval lumps felt in the breast, which may be accompanied by slight distension or discomfort. The menstrual cycle, age and lifestyle may affect the formation and changes of breast cysts.

Breast cysts themselves will not directly turn into cancer, but some complex cysts (such as cysts containing abnormal cells) may have certain risks. In addition, if the cyst is accompanied by breast hyperplasia or pathological changes, you should be more vigilant. Symptoms that need attention include rapid growth of the cyst in a short period of time, irregular shape or hardening of the texture, or abnormal nipple secretions.

You can slow down the occurrence of breast cysts by living a healthy lifestyle, such as maintaining a regular schedule, reducing high-fat diets, and managing your emotions and stress. Develop a habit of regular self-examinations, or undergo imaging screening when necessary. If you find that the lump is getting bigger or accompanied by obvious abnormal symptoms during daily observation, you should seek professional evaluation in time to ensure safety.
