A member asked:

Might it be that a a breast cyst be caused by a hormonal imbalance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: The cause of breast cysts is unknown. There is some investigation ongoing into whether estrogen is involved. Breast cysts are very common, and usually benign. Make sure yours is evaluated by your physician.
