No treatment is necessary for simple breast cysts — those that are fluid filled and don't cause any symptoms — that are confirmed on breast ultrasound or after a fine-needle aspiration. Many cysts will disappear with no treatment.
Cysts are not cancers. They are no more likely to become cancerous than any other part of the breast. There is no evidence that cysts cause cancer. Having a cancer in the same area as a cyst is a coincidence.
Treatment and follow-up If you do have a breast cyst or cysts, you will not usually need any treatment or follow-up. Most cysts go away by themselves and are nothing to worry about. If the cyst is large or causing discomfort, your specialist may draw off the fluid using a fine needle and syringe.
The cysts often enlarge and become sore just before your period. They may seem to appear overnight. Cysts are rarely cancerous (malignant) and may be caused by blocked breast glands. Cysts can feel either soft or hard.
