Is a grade 2 breast cyst more than 1 cm serious?

Grade 2 breast cysts are usually not serious, and even if they are larger than 1 cm, they do not have malignant characteristics in most cases, but they still need to be monitored regularly.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease in women, and their main manifestation is the appearance of cystic fluid masses in the breast. According to the ultrasound grading of cysts, grade 2 usually refers to a simple cystic structure without significant features of malignant lesions. Although cysts larger than 1 cm are slightly prominent in size, they are mostly benign in nature and do not directly threaten health.

Some breast cysts may change in size with the menstrual cycle, which is related to the fluctuation of hormone levels in the body. Generally, grade 2 cysts will not cause obvious discomfort, but if the cyst presses on nearby tissues, you may occasionally feel slight distension and pain. Cysts larger than 1 cm may be easier to feel when touched, but this does not mean the problem is more serious.

In order to effectively manage breast health, it is recommended to have a breast ultrasound examination every year. Especially for cysts larger than 1 cm, the interval between reexaminations can be shortened appropriately according to the doctor's advice. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, reduce high-fat and high-sugar diets, and eat more foods rich in vitamins and fiber to help maintain hormone balance. If a breast cyst appears to be rapidly enlarged, abnormal in shape or has other abnormal symptoms, further examination is required to rule out potential risks.
