A member asked:

Hi! i have a cyst on.my right breast for more than 15 years now! it becomes very big now! will it affect my health if i don't get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO-observe: cysts are fluid filled or hardened glands within the breast. Some come and go; however some do not . I recommend breast ultrasounds and routine mammography as well as a surgical consultation.
