  Breast cysts are a common diagnosis among women and one of the most common reasons for a referral to a breast clinic. […] The etiology of breast cysts is unknown. However, most breast cysts are associated with the aberration of normal development and involution (ANDI). ANDI is based on the fact that most benign disorders of the breast are due to some minor abnormalities in the usual physiological processes of development of the breast following cyclical normal growth response and involution. […] This underlying process of fibrosis likely stems from an overproduction of estrogen and suppression of progesterone, leading to hyperproliferation of the connective tissue, causing increased epithelial thickness.

  Breast cysts develop when fluid accumulates inside the milk glands of the breasts. The exact causes of why this occurs is not known. Cysts may develop due to hormonal changes arising from a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. […] In general, cysts are usually not cancerous. Simple cysts are not breast cancer and do not change into cancer. In very rare cases, cysts may have cancer growing within or close to them, which can usually be found by ultrasound or by biopsy. […] Having simple cysts does not increase the risk of breast cancer in the future. However, there is a small chance that complex cysts may contain cancer or increase your breast cancer risk later, depending on what is found in the biopsy.

• #7 Breast Cyst Fact Sheet | Westmead BCI

  http://www.bci.org.au/breast-cancer-information/fact-sheets/breast-cysts/

  A breast cyst is a localised collection of fluid in the breast. Fluid is constantly being produced and reabsorbed in the milk ducts in the breast. When a duct becomes blocked, or the amount of fluid produced is greater than the amount absorbed, fluid accumulates which causes cysts. […] Cysts are more common in post-menopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy than in post-menopausal women who do not. All of these factors support the theory that breast cysts are hormonally responsive, although it is not clear why some women form cysts and others do not. […] Breast cysts are not cancerous, and having cysts does not significantly increase the risk of developing breast cancer. There is a rare condition called an intracystic cancer that can develop inside a cyst, but these cysts usually look unusual on the ultrasound, and they behave differently when they are aspirated.

  https://www.uclahealth.org/departments/radiology/education/breast-imaging-teaching-resources/cases/case-simple-cyst-clustered-microcysts-complicated-cyst

  Breast cysts are common fluid-filled sacs that develop within breast tissue and typically arise along the terminal duct lobular unit. The exact cause of simple breast cysts is unknown; however, they likely develop in response to hormonal changes in the breast which can occur in the pre-, peri-, or post-menopausal period. Physiologically, distension of the tubule or obstruction along its course causes fluid to accumulate and eventually evolves into a sac-like structure that becomes a cyst. […] Clustered microcysts are an additional form of benign, fibrocystic changes that can develop in the breast. They are often encountered in peri-menopausal women which is thought to be due to prolonged exposure to progesterone as the menstrual cycle shortens. […] Complicated cysts are probably benign lesions as they contain internal debris which may mimic a solid mass appearance on imaging. The internal debris typically represents proteinaceous or hemorrhagic material which needs to be carefully evaluated in order to differentiate a complicated cyst from a complex cyst, which have malignant potential.

  Breast cysts are a justifiably frightening discovery. The likeliest culprit is hormonal imbalances which in turn can be the result of nutritional deficiencies. […] Low levels of iodine are the major cause of breast cysts and tenderness. […] Although not the main cause, the swings in estrogen during a womans menstrual cycle can play a role in this problem but these hormonal swings are less likely to cause a problem once the iodine deficiency is corrected. […] Iodine plays a crucial role in breast health. Iodine reacts with an amino acid on the surface of abnormal breast cells, causing the natural death of the cell. But without iodine, those cells can multiply, leading to breast cysts and even breast cancer. […] Doctors at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied 1,239 women: 615 with breast cysts and 624 without them. Those with breast cysts had a 45 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer. And those with breast cysts that had abnormal cells (atypical hyperplasia breast cells that are abnormal in size, shape, and appearance) had a 527 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer. […] Older research shows iodine can correct the problem. In a study of more than 1,300 women with breast cysts, 74 percent reported improvement when taking daily iodine.

  Breast cysts are a justifiably frightening discovery. The likeliest culprit is hormonal imbalances which in turn can be the result of nutritional deficiencies. […] Low levels of iodine are the major cause of breast cysts and tenderness. […] Although not the main cause, the swings in estrogen during a womans menstrual cycle can play a role in this problem but these hormonal swings are less likely to cause a problem once the iodine deficiency is corrected. […] Iodine plays a crucial role in breast health. Iodine reacts with an amino acid on the surface of abnormal breast cells, causing the natural death of the cell. But without iodine, those cells can multiply, leading to breast cysts and even breast cancer. […] Doctors at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York studied 1,239 women: 615 with breast cysts and 624 without them. Those with breast cysts had a 45 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer. And those with breast cysts that had abnormal cells (atypical hyperplasia breast cells that are abnormal in size, shape, and appearance) had a 527 percent greater risk of developing breast cancer. […] Older research shows iodine can correct the problem. In a study of more than 1,300 women with breast cysts, 74 percent reported improvement when taking daily iodine.

  As women age, their breast tissue undergoes various changes, including an increased risk of cyst formation. This is because the breast tissue becomes less dense and more fatty, which can create an environment where cysts can develop and grow. […] Additionally, genetics can play a role in the development of breast cysts clusters. Women with a family history of breast cysts or breast cancer may be more likely to develop cysts themselves. […] Fibrocystic breast changes are a common condition that can contribute to the formation of a cluster of cysts in the breast. […] These changes typically occur in response to hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. When this happens, the breast tissue can become lumpy and may contain areas of fluid-filled cysts. […] Breast trauma or injury can cause a cluster of cysts in the breast tissue. Physical injury to the breast can result in the development of cysts due to the disruption of the breast tissue.

  Breast cysts can have various causes. They often occur in the setting of mastopathy, a benign breast disease. In cystic mastopathy, the glandular cells grow particularly strongly and produce more fluid. As a result, many, usually small cysts form in the glandular lobules. Their size can vary significantly due to hormonal influences in the monthly cycle. Sometimes the size does not change. Breast cysts can also be detected in fibrocystic mastopathy. Here, however, the connective tissue also multiplies. […] In addition, breast cysts can also have the following causes: Clogged excretory ducts of the gland lobules then fluid accumulates there and cysts form. Breast tissue injuries, often due to chronic inflammation of the breast. This damages the milk ducts and small vessels through which the body removes tissue fluid. The cysts are then permanently present. Injuries to the fatty tissue, such as from surgery or an accident. A bump or bruise causes fat cells to form what are called oil cysts. They contain tissue secretion and larger amounts of fat. Such cysts are always benign. Sometimes the predisposition to the formation of breast cysts is also congenital.

  A breast cyst is a localised collection of fluid in the breast. Fluid is constantly being produced and reabsorbed in the milk ducts in the breast. When a duct becomes blocked, or the amount of fluid produced is greater than the amount absorbed, fluid accumulates which causes cysts. […] Cysts are more common in post-menopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy than in post-menopausal women who do not. All of these factors support the theory that breast cysts are hormonally responsive, although it is not clear why some women form cysts and others do not.

  Breast cysts are a common occurrence among women, causing concern and raising questions about their causes. Understanding the underlying factors that contribute to the development of breast cysts is crucial in dispelling fears and providing reassurance. While the exact cause of breast cysts remains unknown, several factors have been identified as potential contributors. Hormonal imbalances, particularly an excess of estrogen, have been linked to the formation of these fluid-filled sacs. This hormonal fluctuation can occur during different phases of a woman’s life, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. […] Additionally, age plays a role in the development of breast cysts. They are more commonly observed in women between the ages of 30 and 50. As women approach menopause, hormonal changes can increase their susceptibility to developing these benign growths. It is important to note that breast cysts are not caused by cancer or any lifestyle choices made by individuals. They are non-cancerous and do not increase one’s risk for developing breast cancer. By understanding these potential causes of breast cysts, individuals can alleviate concerns and seek appropriate medical guidance.
