Symptoms of multiple breast cysts

Symptoms of multiple breast cysts are usually manifested as multiple soft, smooth lumps of varying sizes in the breasts, which are particularly noticeable before and after menstruation, and are sometimes accompanied by distension and discomfort. Although most cysts are benign, if there is a rapid increase in the size of the lump, nipple discharge, or persistent pain, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to check for potential problems.

Multiple breast cysts are a common benign breast lesion, which is often related to fluctuations in hormone levels, especially in women of childbearing age. The appearance of cysts is due to excessive secretion of fluid from the mammary ducts, which cannot be discharged immediately, forming fluid vesicles. This type of cyst may fluctuate with the menstrual cycle. Before menstruation, due to increased hormone secretion, the lump may increase in size and feel obvious pain when touched, which will be relieved after the menstrual period. Some patients may also feel that the breast is tighter or more sensitive locally. Although cysts themselves are considered benign lesions, if there are hard lumps, significantly increased tenderness, or other unusual symptoms such as bloody nipple discharge, you should be alert and may need to further investigate whether it is related to other lesions.

Symptoms can be relieved by adjusting your lifestyle in daily life. For example, pay attention to reducing the intake of high-fat foods and caffeine in your diet, and eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts that are rich in dietary fiber. Proper breast massage and warm compresses can help relieve soreness and swelling. For patients who are clearly diagnosed with cysts, doctors may recommend drug treatment, such as taking vitamin E, steroid drugs, or low-dose contraceptives to regulate endocrine balance. In severe cases or recurrent cysts, puncture and fluid extraction or surgical removal may be required. Regular breast examinations are very important during and after treatment. Self-examination of the breasts once a month can help detect problems early. In addition, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for imaging examinations such as breast ultrasound once or twice a year. Paying attention to your own health in the long term, minimizing stress and maintaining a regular schedule can help relieve symptoms related to breast cysts and make life easier.
