Female breasts are one of the most beautiful parts of the body. To always like not only the hostess, but also everyone around her, and also to remain in excellent condition for a long time, you need to know about the possible threats and diseases that can destroy beauty. For example, a breast cyst can cause considerable harm to health.
To our great regret, most often representatives of the fair sex of middle age are exposed to this disease, especially those who have not yet experienced the joys of motherhood. An unpleasant fact is that a breast cyst is diagnosed every year in an increasing number of women. The most common causes of this formation are all kinds of hormonal disruptions caused by taking appropriate contraceptives, as well as individual genetic inheritance. Significant influence on the definition of cysts has previous surgery on the chest and mastitis.
In general, according to the medical definition, a cyst is a special formation with a content of a transparent liquid inside, often with a yellowish tinge. Such cavities, as a rule, are the result of neglected clogging of the ducts of the gland. They can be single or group and consist not only of benign cells, but also of malignant ones. Thus, at the slightest hint that a breast cyst may have formed, you need to contact a medical institution to undergo the necessary examination and, if the diagnosis is confirmed, appropriate treatment.
In fact, determining the formation of cysts in the chest is quite simple. It is only necessary to carefully examine the chest and slowly feel it with light pressure. If, when performing these actions, a certain formation of a round or oval shape is felt, which, after some time has increased slightly, this is the reason for an unscheduled visit to a specialist doctor. In addition, the breast cyst periodically begins to hurt. The most unpleasant thing is that the cyst must reach a considerable size so that it can be felt on its own. For this reason, doctors usually recommend that their patients regularly examine their breasts at home so that in case of a threat they can be quickly removed before it develops into a malignant tumor or fester. Otherwise, the consequences can be very unpleasant.
Recognize the presence of a cyst in the chest, when it is not yet felt, you can using ultrasound or radiographs. Also, some blood tests, mostly hormonal, can help to make such a diagnosis. After receiving a conclusion, before treating a breast cyst, a biopsy can be prescribed to help identify cancer cells. In addition, in most cases, the patient's sexual life is examined in order to exclude pathologies in other organs.
Treatment of breast cysts depends on its size. If this is a small formation, then, as a rule, various creams or ointments are prescribed, as well as all kinds of homeopathic remedies. The use of drugs that contain certain hormones that affect the disease is not ruled out. With a large foreign body, it is pierced and removed with the help of the entire contents, after which the walls of the bladder are fused. The recovered fluid is sent to the laboratory for research.
For pregnant women, as well as breastfeeding young mothers, a cyst is usually not a cause for concern. But you should always keep in mind that a cyst, like any other disease, should be treated, otherwise it will sooner or later cause serious disturbances in the functioning of the body and the health of the woman.
