Accumulated breast cysts are caused by obstruction of the milk ducts and poor milk drainage. If the size of the breast cyst is small and there are no symptoms of pain or inflammation, it can be observed regularly and the fluid in the cyst may be absorbed by the body. However, if the fluid in the cyst is large and it is more difficult for the body to absorb it, then the cyst will need to be drained surgically.
When a woman develops a breast cyst while breastfeeding, it is important to treat it aggressively by applying warm compresses and increasing the frequency of feedings to encourage the cyst to subside.
