What causes breast cysts

Eating habits, emotional stress, and disturbed hormone levels can be the main causes of breast cysts.

Breast cysts are a common breast disease, which are mainly manifested as fluid cystic structures formed inside the breast. Studies have shown that unhealthy eating habits, such as high-fat, high-calorie diets, may lead to fat accumulation in the body, trigger hormone fluctuations, and increase the risk of breast cysts. Long-term emotional stress and tension can affect the endocrine system, causing estrogen levels to fluctuate, thereby stimulating abnormal proliferation of breast tissue to form cysts. Hormone level disorders, especially excessive estrogen or insufficient progesterone, will directly affect breast tissue, causing it to proliferate and secrete excessive fluid, and eventually form cysts.

In order to effectively deal with breast cysts, dietary adjustments are essential. Reducing the intake of fat and sugar and eating more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits can help maintain hormone balance in the body. Managing emotions is another key to avoiding breast cysts. Reducing stress and anxiety through methods such as yoga and meditation can effectively stabilize the endocrine system. Regular physical examinations and breast ultrasounds are also necessary, so that problems can be detected early and intervention can be performed when the cysts are small and no lesions have occurred. In terms of drug treatment, doctors usually prescribe hormone drugs such as danazol, bromocriptine, etc. to adjust hormone levels. If the cyst is large and accompanied by pain, drainage or resection surgery can be performed. Surgical methods include fine needle puncture, laparoscopic surgery, and traditional resection surgery.

In daily life, maintaining a stable work and rest schedule and regular exercise also have a positive effect on preventing breast cysts. It is recommended to perform at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking and swimming. These measures not only help control weight, but also optimize hormone levels in the body. In terms of health preservation, you can choose Chinese medicine conditioning, such as Poria cocos and Salvia miltiorrhiza, which have the effects of soothing the liver and relieving depression and regulating endocrine. Considering the importance of health, any new findings or discomfort in the breast area should be treated promptly to rule out other more serious diseases.

Although breast cysts are common, they can be effectively controlled and prevented through reasonable lifestyle adjustments. By paying attention to diet, managing emotions, and having regular checkups, you will be able to better protect your breast health. At the same time, I hope you will feel full physical and mental comfort throughout the process and achieve true health and happiness.
