Can breast cysts go away?

Yes, breast cysts can go away on their own, especially if they are simple cysts without any solid components. Simple cysts are fluid-filled sacs that are often benign and may disappear without treatment. However, some cysts may persist or recur, and in some cases, medical treatment may be necessary. Your doctor may recommend monitoring the cysts with regular breast exams or imaging, or may suggest drainage or aspiration of the cyst fluid to alleviate discomfort or to confirm the diagnosis. If there is a suspicion of cancer, further testing and evaluation may be needed. It is important to have any new lumps or changes in your breast evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
