Will Type 2 Breast Cysts Disappear Automatically?

Type 2 breast cysts usually do not require special treatment and may resolve spontaneously in some cases.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease in clinical practice. Type 2 cysts are classified as benign lesions according to the BI-RADS classification. This type of cyst is mostly caused by hormone fluctuations or normal reactions of breast tissue. It is characterized by a cystic structure filled with fluid. It usually does not lead to malignant changes and does not require special concern.

Specifically, the size, shape, and development trend of the two types of cysts vary from person to person. Breast cysts may appear and disappear in some women, affected by hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. Small and stable cysts generally do not cause obvious discomfort and are usually only discovered during breast ultrasound or physical examination. If the cyst is large, it may cause local swelling and pain due to compression, especially before and after menstruation, but it is not harmful to health. Although there is a very small probability that it will continue to grow, it will not turn into a malignant lesion.

To better manage breast health, you can adjust your work and rest schedule to ensure regular sleep and avoid staying up late for long periods of time. Reducing the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods in your daily diet and increasing the amount of foods rich in phytoestrogens (such as soy products and whole grains) may help alleviate hormone fluctuations. It is particularly important to maintain annual breast ultrasound examinations so that the dynamics of the cyst can be continuously observed. If there is persistent swelling, increased pain, or a sudden and rapid increase in the size of the cyst, you should go to a professional medical institution for further evaluation in a timely manner.
