A member asked:
Are cysts in the breasts anything to be really concerned about please . thank you ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, if confirmed: The only problem is ignoring a breast "lump" thinking it is a "cyst" when in reality it is a malignant growth. Therefore, do a monthly breast exam and have a md confirm any and all irregularities.

Breast cysts: The vast majority of breast cysts are benign and part of the spectrum of benign fibrocystic disease. Listen to your doctor and radiologist and follow their advice.
