The best treatment for breast cysts

The best treatment for breast milk cysts depends on the size, symptoms and severity of the cyst, but mainly includes conservative observation, drug therapy and surgical drainage when necessary. For patients with mild symptoms, they can be relieved by monitoring and improving breastfeeding methods, while severe cases may require interventional treatment.

Breast milk cysts often occur in lactating women, usually because of milk stasis or milk duct blockage, which leads to local fluid accumulation and cyst formation. Common symptoms include local breast lumps and pain, and may even cause complications such as redness, swelling or mastitis. The cause of this disease may be a tight breast tissue structure, uneven breast development, or incomplete milk drainage during breastfeeding. In terms of treatment, mild cysts usually do not require special intervention, and patients can relieve milk stasis through hot compresses and massage; drug treatment includes anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) to reduce inflammation, or the use of lactation inhibitors to reduce milk secretion; severe cases may require puncture and suction to drain the cyst fluid, small incision surgery for drainage, or other minimally invasive treatment methods.

Developing regular breastfeeding or correct breast pumping posture is the key to preventing breast milk cysts. During breastfeeding, you should pay attention to breast care and ensure that the milk is fully emptied every day. If you find a lump or swelling in the breast, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to get a clear diagnosis to avoid delaying the development of the disease. Although this disease may cause discomfort, it can be relieved in most cases with reasonable medical intervention and self-care without leaving sequelae, so women do not need to worry too much.
