Accepted Answer

: A stable breast cyst does not require removal. However, it is unlikely that this cyst has anything to do with what you felt when stretching or with the nipple tenderness. Since breast pain is not an ominous symptom you may safely observe this to see if it persists or evolves in some way.

Accepted Answer

Depends...: It all depends on what the mammogram or ultrasound show about the cyst. If it looks benign usually a follow ultrasound is recommended in a few months( it varies). If it is suspicious then a biopsy is usually recommended. You  need to discuss the next steps with your doctor and consider alternatives depending on the specific results of your test.

Question 8

how might you know that you are having a cyst in the breast?

Accepted Answer

Breas Cysts: Cysts occur cyclically with menses. If they do not spontaneously resolve, they can enlarge enough to be felt on exam. An ultrasound can tell if cystic or solid. If large and symptomatic simple aspiration will fix it.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Uncommon: Cysts in the breast are common but rarely "burst".  They can be tender or painful but usually slowly shrink or grow.

Question 10

can breast cysts be malignant?

Accepted Answer

Breast cysts: Breast malignancies are generally solid and breast cysts are generally nonmalignant. Your physician and the radiologist confer and decide whether any further imaging or biopsy is advisable. If there is a palpable breast lump, I prefer to have a breast surgeon also render an opinion and be involved for follow-up in these cases.
