What are the symptoms of multiple breast cysts?

Symptoms of multiple breast cysts may include multiple cystic masses of varying sizes in the breasts, which are usually soft to the touch and smooth in surface, accompanied by mild pain or distension, especially before menstruation. The severity of the specific symptoms varies from person to person, but the discomfort is generally cyclical.

The symptoms of multiple breast cysts are mainly related to the number, size and location of the cysts. Some patients with smaller cysts may not have obvious discomfort, and they can only be found in physical examinations or breast ultrasound; while patients with larger cysts may clearly feel a lump in the breast, some accompanied by distension and tenderness, and may even experience local deformation of the breast or tightness of the skin. When there is more fluid in the cyst or it is stimulated by inflammation, redness, swelling and burning sensation of the breast may also occur. If the cyst compresses the mammary duct or tissue, it may cause nipple discharge, occasionally even mixed with blood. Most breast cysts are benign diseases, but if they continue to worsen or a fixed, hardened lump suddenly appears, be alert to the possibility of malignant lesions.

Relief of multiple breast cysts can start with lifestyle. Reducing the intake of caffeine, alcohol and animal fat, and eating more foods rich in vitamin E and dietary fiber such as nuts, green leafy vegetables and whole grains can help improve symptoms. Appropriately increasing physical exercise, such as yoga and brisk walking, can promote blood circulation and relieve pain and discomfort. For patients with larger cysts, you can consider wearing a professional non-wired bra to relieve chest pressure. Severe patients can use medication under the guidance of a doctor, such as hot compresses with magnesium sulfate, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain, or taking hormones to adjust endocrine. If the cyst is large and the pain is repeated, puncture drainage or surgical removal can also be performed, but it must be decided after evaluation by a professional doctor. Regular physical examinations and breast ultrasound examinations are the key to discovering and monitoring early breast health problems. When symptoms are unclear or cysts suddenly change significantly, you should seek medical attention for further evaluation.
