2. Causes of breast cysts

There are many causes of breast cysts. If you suffer from breast hyperplasia, inflammation or tumor compression during lactation, it may cause blockage of the duct of one lobe or lobule of the breast, causing milk to accumulate in the duct and form a breast cyst. It may also be due to poor breastfeeding habits, causing milk to stagnate in the ducts, causing the ducts to expand and form cysts, bacterial invasion, secondary infection, and lead to acute mastitis or breast abscesses.

The cyst is round or oval, with a smooth surface and can be pushed. Most of them are unilateral and single cysts, which may cause slight tenderness and feel cystic when touched. In the early stage, the cyst contains thin milk. Later, due to the long-term presence of the cyst, the water in the milk is absorbed and the milk is concentrated into a milky white viscous substance, such as condensed milk. Occasionally it may be curd or even solid like powdered milk.
