Unless : Unless otherwise instructed, you will likely be screened every 6 months to a year with a mammogram. I would follow the doctor's recommendation on this. On the other hand, has your doctor discussed birth control pills (bcp's) with you. If you are a candidate, then it is something to consider. Bcp's have been shown to drastically reduce breast cysts. Also reducing caffeine has shown a decrease as well. Lastly, limit your salt intake and wear a good supportive bra for comfort. Good luck to you.

Biopsy: If the cyst keeps coming back after repeated aspirations, a core needle biopsy can break the cyst wall and prevent it from coming back.
