If the cyst is too small, it can not be detected by external signs or characteristic symptoms. Usually about their diagnosis, girls and women learn during routine medical examination or ultrasound. Such a message often frightens the fair sex, so it is important for them to know what the cyst is dangerous in the mammary gland, and how to treat it correctly.
Possible consequences of a breast cyst
The cyst in the breast gland does not carry any danger. Meanwhile, if this education has an impressive size, it can cause a woman pain and discomfort. This is especially noticeable on the threshold of menstruation, when a physiological change in the concentration of hormones occurs in the female body.
In addition, the cyst in the mammary gland is the background for the development of cancer tumors. Although she herself rarely goes into cancer, she still has a significant increase in the likelihood of such a neoplasm. That is why when setting such a diagnosis it is necessary to constantly observe the doctor-mammologist and always inform him about any changes in the body.
What if you have a cyst in your mammary gland?
The first thing to do after finding a cyst in the left or right mammary gland, especially if it hurts, is to make an appointment with a doctor. Any self-treatment in this situation is unacceptable, since an incorrect tactic of action can become a provoking factor for the development of cancer.
An experienced doctor will conduct the necessary diagnostics, and then prescribe a treatment that can include:
- cabbage lotions and alcohol compresses;
- preparations based on seaweed, broccoli extract and cauliflower;
iodide compounds; - collections of medicinal herbs.
If the chosen methods of treatment did not bring the desired result, and the cyst continues to grow, conduct its fine-needle puncture under the supervision of ultrasound. In this case, with the help of special equipment, the liquid contained in the capsule is evacuated, after which ozone is introduced into the same cavity.
Unfortunately, this procedure does not exclude the recurrence of cysts. If ozone treatment is ineffective, the capsule is surgically removed along with all its contents.
