Can breast cysts be eliminated?
Disease description:
My breast cysts have recently become more severe. I've been taking medication during this period, but still experience chest tightness and breast pain, which has significantly affected my daily activities such as showering and sleeping. I can't lie on my stomach or side when sleeping. I would like to know whether breast cysts can be eliminated.

Breast cysts can be eliminated, and the specific methods include the following:
1. General management: For early-stage breast cysts, regular follow-up observation is usually recommended, and special treatment is generally not required.
2. Medication: If a breast cyst causes pain or discomfort, medication may be used under a doctor's guidance, such as Pingxiao tablets or Xiaoru Sanjie capsules. These medications help relieve breast pain and gradually eliminate the cyst.
3. Physical therapy: Appropriate massage of the breast tissue can help alleviate breast pain, but care should be taken to avoid excessive massage or applying pressure to areas with existing lumps.
4. Surgical treatment: If the cyst is too large and cannot be resolved with medication, minimally invasive surgery or cyst excision may be considered.
