How many mm is considered large for a breast cyst?

Breast cyst is a common disease in women, especially in modern people who do not pay attention to their physical health, the incidence of breast cyst is also very high. Breast cyst is usually 20-50 mm. If it is larger than 5 cm, it is a very large phenomenon and has a great impact on the health of the body. It needs early treatment.

How big is a breast cyst?

Strictly speaking, there is currently no standard for how large a breast cyst is. To determine how big the cyst is, or how many millimeters is considered large, it is usually judged relative to the size of the breast. If we must calculate, regardless of the size of the breast, then generally 50 mm, or more than 5 cm, is considered large enough for a cyst.

Because such large cysts are prone to bleeding, aggressive management is often recommended for large cysts. For those with very small breasts, maybe 20 mm, or 2 cm, the size of a thumb may appear large because the lump feels very large when you touch it. So it depends on the specific situation. There is currently no universal standard to say how many millimeters are considered large.

Patients with breast cysts should pay attention to diet. Patients can eat more foods such as kelp and fungus in their daily life. These foods have anti-cancer effects, can eliminate pain and shrink lumps. You can also eat more oranges and orange cakes, and more oyster meat. These foods have the effect of promoting qi and dispersing stagnation. You should drink more mung bean soup and kelp soup, which can play a role in clearing away heat and detoxifying. Patients should take appropriate selenium supplements, which can enhance the antioxidant capacity of cells, regulate endocrine and metabolism, and help improve the disease.

Breast cysts can be treated surgically, but not all cysts require surgery. Generally speaking, simple non-recurrent cysts that are relatively small and have a smooth surface do not require surgical treatment. The cysts caused by lobular hyperplasia have a smooth surface and show no signs of malignancy. They can also be cured by Chinese medicine treatment, without the need to endure the pain and trauma of surgery.
