A breast cyst often feels like a grape or a water-filled balloon, but sometimes a breast cyst feels firm. Breast cysts tend to be caused by hormonal influences (eostrogen). […] Breast cysts don’t require treatment unless a cyst is large and painful or uncomfortable. In that case, draining the fluid from a breast cyst can ease symptoms. It can be drained by aspirating the cyst with a fine needle. Removing the fluid may reduce pressure and pain for some time as well as being diagnostic. Usually clear, yellow or greenish fluid is not dangerous. […] Although breast cysts can be found in women of any age, they are more common in women before menopause, typically under age 50. But they can be found in women of any age. Breast cysts also commonly occur in postmenopausal women who take hormone therapy. […] A solid component to the cyst is termed a complex cyst.

If a breast cyst persists through two to three menstrual cycles and grows larger, see your doctor for further evaluation. […] Using birth control pills (oral contraceptives) to regulate your menstrual cycles may help reduce the recurrence of breast cysts. But because of possible significant side effects, birth control pills or other hormone therapy, such as tamoxifen, is usually recommended only for women with severe symptoms. Discontinuing hormone therapy after menopause may also help prevent breast cysts. […] Surgery to remove a breast cyst is necessary only in unusual circumstances. Surgery may be considered if an uncomfortable breast cyst recurs month after month or if a breast cyst contains blood-tinged fluid or shows other worrisome signs.

  Treatment for a breast cyst typically includes a breast cyst aspiration to drain the cyst. However, hormonal birth control and surgery are options for more severe breast cyst symptoms. Your doctor can work with you to determine the right treatment options. […] A fine-needle aspiration is usually a quick outpatient procedure. Your doctor will first find the cyst using ultrasound before cleaning the skin and inserting a small needle to drain the cyst. Then the needle is removed and a small bandage applied. Oftentimes, an aspiration can make the cyst disappear altogether. […] For women with severe symptoms from breast cysts, sometimes hormonal birth control pills are recommended to reduce their recurrence. Although not very common, some people taking hormone replacement therapy may experience breast cysts. Have a conversation with your doctor about whether or not you should continue hormone therapy.

  Cysts that cause no symptoms, and show non-cancerous (benign) features on imaging require no treatment. Most cysts fit into this category. […] Sometimes lesions are seen on imaging that may be cysts (fluid) but could also be solid, and these need further testing. This is done by draining the cyst, also called cyst aspiration. This involves putting a needle into the cyst, often under the guidance of ultrasound, to remove fluid from the cyst. If the cyst has watery fluid in it, it may disappear with aspiration. If it has a thick pasty or gel-like fluid in it, the cyst may not drain completely. This is not a reason for concern. Sometimes a sample of the aspirated fluid is sent for testing by a pathologist to make sure it is a cyst. […] There is no agreement as to how to treat breast cysts that cause symptoms. Some doctors feel that if a cyst is causing a lump, it should be drained. Others feel that if it has the look and feel of a typical cyst, it may be left alone and monitored. The decision as to whether a cyst that is causing a lump is aspirated is partly dependent on the woman’s preference. Cysts that are tender are often aspirated to reduce discomfort. […] Surgery is rarely recommended to remove cysts.
