Patient's question:
I may not have taken good care of myself while breastfeeding, which led to the recurrence of some cysts in my breasts. It's very painful. The doctor said it's a lactation cyst and recommended surgical treatment. However, our family's financial condition isn't very good, and I don't want to have surgery. Could you please advise me? Will a lactation cyst not treated surgically become malignant?Doctor's answer:
If there is a recurrence of breast cysts and surgery is not performed for a long time, there is a possibility of malignant transformation again. Therefore, it is still necessary to have irregular follow-up examinations. It is recommended that if the cyst is small, oral medication can be used for conservative treatment first, followed by irregular follow-up examinations. If there is no significant gradual recovery, it is recommended to undergo minimally invasive surgery or surgical treatment. This can effectively prevent malignant transformation.
