What department should I go to for breast cysts?

It is generally recommended to register for breast surgery or general surgery for breast cysts. Doctors in these departments can conduct comprehensive examinations and assessments of breast problems. If the hospital has a more detailed division of departments and there is a specialized breast department, you can also go there for consultation directly.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease, usually manifested as round or oval fluid cystic structures in the breast, which may vary in size and number. Many times it is due to the fluctuation of hormone levels in the body, which leads to hyperplasia or cystic changes in breast tissue, which is why some women may feel breast tenderness or feel lumps at different stages of the menstrual cycle.

To determine the specific nature of a breast cyst, doctors will generally arrange imaging tests such as breast ultrasound or mammography to help understand the size and shape of the cyst and whether there are other abnormalities. Sometimes, further fine needle aspiration may be recommended, especially for cysts of unclear nature or with the possibility of malignancy. These steps can not only improve the accuracy of diagnosis, but also help rule out other potential breast diseases.

In daily life, when facing breast cysts, you need to pay attention to a balanced diet, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, maintain a stable mood, and try to avoid excessive stress. At the same time, regular breast self-examination is also very important, especially for women with a family history of breast disease. If you find obvious lumps, tenderness, or abnormal secretions in your breasts during self-examination, you should go to the hospital for professional evaluation as soon as possible.
