How do breast cysts develop?
Although the levels of female reproductive hormones appears to influence the development of cysts, no one is exactly sure what causes them. Women who experience one breast cyst are likely to have others in the future. Young women, peri-menopausal women, and especially women on estrogen replacement therapy, are more prone to breast cysts. What are the symptoms of breast cysts? Cysts are fluid-filled pockets ranging from the size of a pinhead to the size of a walnut. They are hard and round, and move easily when touched. Breast pain may be an additional symptom of breast cysts. Conventional medical treatments may help relieve the symptoms of breast cysts, but they do not address the root of the problem.
