Can breast cysts turn into cancer?

The female breast is a very important organ. Clinically, some women may have lesions in the breast, so the female breast area is also very complicated. Some women often experience breast pain. This may be caused by a disease or a breast cyst. Breast cyst is a type of breast lump. Can a breast cyst turn into cancer?

1. Breast cyst is one of the common breast lumps. Most breast cysts are benign tumors, which manifest as one or more lumps in one or both breasts with clear boundaries, smooth surface, and easy to push. However, some breast cysts may become cancerous, which is manifested by unclear boundaries, rough surface, irregular shape, and when invading surrounding tissues, the mass may become fixed and difficult to move. Tumor lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis may also occur.

2. The occurrence of breast cysts is closely related to many of our bad living habits. For example, long-term anxiety, tension, depression, or frequent fatigue from staying up late can easily induce the occurrence of breast cysts, and women with this disease will have a higher chance of developing breast cancer. Breast cyst is a benign breast disease. Once a breast cyst is found, surgical removal should be considered. Surgery for breast cyst only requires removal of the tumor. If it is during breastfeeding, the breast infection should be controlled and the milk should be stopped before the tumor is removed.

3. Breast cysts belong to the category of breast proliferative diseases. They are closely related to endocrine hormone levels, such as estrogen and progesterone levels. In addition, they are also related to the patient's emotional excitement and depression. Breast cystic diseases have the possibility of becoming cancerous, but they generally occur mainly in female patients over 45 years old. Before canceration, patients are affected and stimulated by external factors for a long time. The longer the breast cysts and proliferative diseases last, the greater the chance of cancer. To prevent breast cysts from becoming cancerous, patients should pay attention to adjusting their mentality, keeping their spirits happy and avoiding depression. Check breast ultrasound regularly and seek medical attention promptly if cysts develop.
