A member asked:
End of last year i had an ultrasound on breast for small lump. was told it was a cyst. i have noticed the lump has got bigger? is this normal for cyst
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast cysts grow: Cysts are benign and can certainly increase and decrease in size over time. If you are concerned, there is no harm in rechecking it. If it is a mass that feels hard and fixed in place, definitely get it checked out.
