The cyst in the breast is a small lump that does not characterize breast cancer, nor does it increase the risk of its appearance in the future. It is a benign mammary change, common in most women of reproductive age, and usually has no symptoms, and no specific treatment is required.
It is normal that during the premenstrual period the cysts increase in size as well as during menstruation, becoming more apparent. The tendency is that they return to their normal size at the end of menstruation.
Breast cysts do not have a cancer and are not a serious condition, but they can cause pain and discomfort, leading the woman to suspect something more serious.
How to identify the cyst in the breast
The cyst in the breast can be palpated through breast self-examination and correctly diagnosed through breast ultrasound or mammography.
How to treat the cyst in the breast
To treat a cyst in the breast, a breast puncture can be performed if the woman reports pain and discomfort.
The use of medicines has no scientific proof and is unnecessary.
