How to treat breast cysts best

The treatment of breast cysts depends on the size of the cyst, the symptoms, and the severity of the problem. Small, asymptomatic breast cysts often do not require special treatment, while larger cysts or those accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms may require further treatment.

Breast cysts are benign lesions in the breast area, usually appearing as small cyst-like lumps filled with fluid, soft and elastic to the touch. Its formation is closely related to the blockage of the breast ducts and fluctuations in hormone levels in the body (such as excessive estrogen), and mostly occurs in women of childbearing age or women about to enter menopause. Breast cysts may be single or multiple, and usually do not cause cancer, but when they are too large, they may cause compression and bring discomfort to life.

Small breast cysts that are painless or cause no discomfort usually only require regular observation and do not require complicated treatment. If the cyst is large and painful, ultrasound-guided puncture and fluid extraction can quickly relieve symptoms, similar to "draining" the cyst, but sometimes the fluid may accumulate again. For cysts that recur or are suspected of being at risk of malignancy, surgical removal can be considered to completely solve the problem. For multiple breast cysts, people can alleviate the condition and improve breast health by adjusting their lifestyle, balancing hormone levels, or using auxiliary medications.

Adjusting diet and work and rest is an important part of caring for breast cysts. Reducing the intake of high-fat, spicy and stimulating foods, avoiding excessive caffeine intake, and eating more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and dietary fiber can help reduce the nodules to a certain extent. At the same time, maintaining a regular work and rest schedule and avoiding excessive mood swings can also reduce the possibility of breast cyst development. Once the cyst is found to be significantly enlarged, the pain is aggravated, or skin abnormalities occur, please consult a doctor in time to ensure that health management is on the right track.
