  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.

They can come and go, and vary in size during the menstrual cycle. […] Breast cysts are very common. Studies have reported cysts in up to 50% of women who attend breast clinics. Cysts can develop in women of any age. They are most common in the 3050 year age group. They usually disappear after menopause, but in some women they can last throughout life. Cysts are more common in post-menopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy than in post-menopausal women who do not.

  A fluid-filled sac that forms in the breast that is sometimes filled with a mix of fluid and solid material. Breast cysts may occur in one or both breasts, and there may be more than one. Most cysts feel like a round or oval lump with a smooth, well-defined border that moves easily under the skin of the breast. But some cysts are too small to be felt.

• #31 Symptoms of Ovarian, Breast and Skin Cysts

  https://www.oprah.com/omagazine/symptoms-of-ovarian-breast-and-skin-cysts

  Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can show up in any part of your body, but most are just harmless lumps. What causes them: Blocked milk ducts. „Glands in your breasts are always secreting fluid, which can contain particles that obstruct tiny ducts. If that happens, a duct fills with fluid, becoming a simple cyst,” says breast cancer surgeon S. Eva Singletary, MD, a professor at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. How to get rid of them: Just wait. It takes up to a year for fluid in a cyst to disperse. In the meantime, some research suggests that cutting back on caffeine or taking evening primrose oil capsules may relieve cyst-related breast pain, Singletary says. If a cyst is extremely uncomfortable, ask your doctor about draining the fluid with needle aspiration. Why they come back: „We think it has to do with hormone levels in breast tissue and also with genetics—some women simply inherit a tendency toward lumpy, bumpy breasts,” Singletary says. Hang in there. Cysts are most common in younger women; you’ll have fewer as you approach menopause because hormone levels drop. Should I worry?: It’s crucial to have any new lump in your breast checked by your doctor. But once you get the all clear, you can relax—cysts don’t raise breast cancer risk. „A cyst feels like a grape, and sometimes you can move it around a little under the skin, while a lump that may be cancer feels rock-hard and usually can’t be moved,” Singletary says.
