10 Common Types of Cysts
Type Of Cysts #10: Breast Cyst
A breast cyst is a sac within the breast that is filled with fluid. There can be one or more cysts in the breast. Often described as oval or round lumps that has a distinct edge, the cyst is usually soft and can be described like a water balloon. In some cases, it can feel firm.
While it may be painful and worrying, breast cysts are usually benign and most commonly seen in women who are in their 30s or 40s. After menopause, these breast cysts usually resolve but can reappear if hormone therapy is used. Breast cysts are also common among adolescents.
