Can multiple breast cysts be treated with hot compresses?

Hot compresses are generally not recommended for multiple breast cysts, as they may stimulate local blood circulation, leading to further enlargement of the cyst or aggravation of local pain. When the nature of the cyst is unclear whether it is benign or malignant, it should be handled with caution to avoid delaying the best treatment.

Multiple breast cysts are a common breast tissue lesion, most of which are part of breast hyperplasia and are benign. Their formation is related to many factors such as hormone level fluctuations, genetics, stress and diet. When the cyst is small and has no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is usually required, only regular follow-up and observation. However, for cysts that are accompanied by distension, tenderness or large size, hot compresses may cause local congestion and aggravate breast discomfort. If the cyst shows rapid growth, irregular borders or is accompanied by fluid exudation, you should be alert to the risk of malignancy and immediately seek medical attention for further examination such as ultrasound and puncture biopsy to clarify the nature of the lesion.

To relieve the discomfort of multiple breast cysts, you can improve your daily life by adjusting your lifestyle and diet moderately. It is recommended to increase fiber-rich foods, such as oats and fruits and vegetables, and reduce high-fat, high-sugar and spicy foods. Appropriate exercise, such as walking and yoga, can relieve stress and improve circulation. Avoid using tight bras for a long time to reduce breast pressure. If drug treatment is needed, common options include topical ointments (such as breast massage cream), hormonal drugs (such as Diphylline) or liver-protecting auxiliary drugs. When the cyst is large or suspected of being malignant, puncture drainage or surgical resection may be considered.

When facing a disease, never self-diagnose or ignore examinations. Even if symptoms are mild, it is recommended to have regular breast ultrasound examinations to evaluate changes in cysts. Maintaining an optimistic attitude and a healthy lifestyle can greatly reduce the risk of breast problems. If you feel uneasy or suspect changes in symptoms, please consult a doctor in time and get effective treatment under professional guidance. Taking good care of your body is the best investment in yourself.
