How common is it for a woman to have a Cyst in her breast?

Sometimes  it can be fibroid and a result of too much caffenine. Get a mamogram ASAP! That is the best assessment of breast nodules.  If it is truly a cyst-- they can use a long needle and local pain killer to aspirate the cyst and get the fluid out.\n\nPlease see the Susan G Komen website for breats health information.

First and foremost it does not mean you have cancer. Second of all you should definitely talk to your parents about your concerns and ask to go to the doctor. He/she will probably examine them and send you for a diagnostic mammogram. I had the same problem as you last year and things were fine. The lumps turned out to be cysts which I have since discovered runs in my family. My mother and my sister both have them. One of the things my doctor told me was to notice the size of them before and after my period because one of the characteristics of cysts was that they tend to be bigger right before you start and that after wards they will gradually decrease in size. Let me stress though that I am not a nurse or a doctor and this is just what I was told. You may also want to check with a school nurse and talk to her.\n\nI hope things turn out well for you. I know how scared I was before I got my results and how relieved I was when they came back ok.

It can be normal as long as they are not cancerous but you should have your breasts examined every 6 months just in case.

Call your OB/GYN and see if they recommend you come in to the office before your next scheduled visit.  In the mean time, this is what the experts say:\n\nBreast lumps that are not suspicious have the following characteristics:\n\n1.Freely moveable (cancers tend to invade, and therefore feel stuck to the surrounding tissue). \n2.Painful, which usually means inflammation, not tumor \n3.Vascillations of size (cysts related to milk production will change size with the ups and downs of the hormonal fluctuations. Bad cysts will stay the same size or grow bigger). \n4.Very round-ish. (Malignancies are irregularly shaped.) \n5.Small size (less than a centimeter is small.) \n\nSuspicious breast lumps show the opposite of 1-5 above.\nhttp://www.babyzone.com/features/expertsqa/?QAID=173&ExpertID=1\n\nBreast lumps may occur normally in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester when your breasts are getting ready for lactation. Such masses are typically soft, mobile and occur in both breasts. They may be tender. A tail of breast tissue may extend into the axillae or armpit area. \nBreast cancer is uncommon in pregnancy but it does occur. Approximately one to two percent of breast cancers are diagnosed in pregnancy. The prognosis is similar whether the cancer is diagnosed during pregnancy or at another time.  http://www.ivillage.co.uk/pregnancyandbaby/pregnancy/tri3/qas/0,9583,15_157286,00.html\n\nBy the way, I am a registered mammographer with 15 years experience in the field, and I have never done a mammogram on a pregnant woman.  If a pregnant woman has a suspicious mass, we ALWAYS do an ultrasound instead of a mammogram.  Better safe than sorry when it comes to exposing your baby to radiation.

It does happen although it is very rare.  It is wise to start self breast examinations now while you are young so that if a lump should arise you will be more likely to catch it.  The best time to do it is 2-3 days after menstruation because your breasts are less like to be tender or swollen.  Remember, most lumps are benign, however should you find one, it is best to have it checked out.  Be your own advocate because early detection is key.

It is very common...\n\nHere's an article that you can read entitled, "Breast Asymmetry - When Does It Need Treatment?" that will give you more information than I can provide on the subject. I found it very informative! :)

This is a rare form of ductal malignancy . The associated "cyst" is thought to represent a cystically dilated portion of the duct rather than a dilated lobule. They tend to occur centrally in the breast, and can produce bloody nipple discharge. Papillary carcinoma tends to have a slow growth rate and does not incite the fibrotic reaction associated with other cancers of the duct. It is generally well-circumscribed and moveable. Mammographically, they produce well-circumscribed masses. Under ultrasound, they are homogeneous and well-circumscribed, with isoechoic or posterior acoustic enhancement.

It is possible, but extremely rare. However, there are normal growth-related changes that can create lumps in the breasts (such as fibrocysts and fibroadenomas) that are not cancerous. Only a health professional can tell for sure, so it's still a good idea to have any lumps checked out. And all females should perform monthly breast self-examinations. If you start young, you can learn what is normal for your breasts and you'll know if something does happen later in life.\n\nA good web site you might want to visit is\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/question/general/breast_exams.html.\n\nHope this helps.

I had those symptoms and had a small ovarian cyst.  The doctor wasn't worried about me, either.  Many women get small cysts that come and go with menstruation at times.  They told me it shouldn't cause symptoms, but I sure felt different symptoms for about two months!  My breasts were extremely sore those two months, too!  Then, it just went away.

two womens breasts are the same and it is actually VERY common for one to be bigger than the other. it may not be a dramatic difference...in some cases though it is a little bit more noticeable. I notice that my right one is smaller than my left...not by much..enough for me to notice but not anyone else...maybe a doctor...but thats it. As for them being hard and the lumps, you really should see a doctor about that. I doubt it has anything to do with you being hit there...it's mostly likely an underlying reason. So see a doc and tell them your worries...its the best way to get answers.

Cysts definitely need to be removed by medical professionals.  Even if it doesn't get infected, it not deal with properly it could scar badly and come back again.\n\nGo and see professional.

I know my sister has a disease where she gets hard lumps in her breast, they're sort of like cysts. She has to go to the doctor now and then to get them popped (sick I know). If it isnt that it very well could be breast cancer. You should definately go to your doctor.

Contrary to popular belief you should worry about a growth or lump if it does not hurt more than you should if it does not. This is so because if the lump does hurt chances are high that you may have hurt your self. Sometimes a person develops lumps during their period.\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is more likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is firm and hard \nThe lump is not discrete; it is not easily distinguishable \nThe lump is fixed in the breast; it does not move \nThere is only one lump \nThere is not an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe skin of breast is dimpled \nThe lump is accompanied by bloody nipple discharge\n\nSigns that suggest a lump is less likely to be cancerous:\nThe lump is soft \nThe lump is discrete; it is easily distinguishable \nThe lump moves in the breast \nThere are multiple breast lumps \nThere is an identical lump in the opposite breast \nThe lump disappears after the menstrual cycle \n\n\nAs women we should check our breasts monthly preferably a week after our pereods.\nA self examination is easy and essential.\nheres how you go about doing it.\nLie down with a pillow or folded towel under the right shoulder and place the right arm behind the head. Check the entire breast and armpit area using the pads of the first three middle fingers on the left hand to feel for lumps, changes, or irregularities in the right breast. Apply 3 pressures-light, medium, and deep-in dime-sized circles to feel the entire thickness of the breast." A firm ridge in the lower curve of each breast is normal. The exam should then be repeated on the left breast, using the finger pads of the right hand (the pillow or folded towel should also be moved under the left shoulder at this time).\nIt is important to thoroughly examine the entire area of the breast every month: \nOutside: armpit to collar bone, and below the breast \nMiddle: the breast itself \nInside: the nipple area \n\ncancerous tumors are more likely to be found in some parts of the breast than in others. Approximately half of all breast cancers occur in the upper, outer region of the breast toward the armpit. \n\nApproximate percentage of breast cancers found in each area:\n41% in the upper, outer quadrant \n14% in the upper, inner quadrant \n5% in the lower, inner quadrant \n34% in the area behind the nipple \n6% in the lower, outer quadrant \n\nI suggest you visit your gp asap. If its nothing to worry  about, you be in a better state of mind, if there is the earlier you treat it the better.\n\nI hope that yoursare just a lump and that you will be fine\nGood Luck

A cyst may or may not be a benign tumor. You should see a doctor.

you can but it's probaly unlikely\nLumps can be caused by extra tissue if your rbeasts aren't done developing. If you have the same size lump in each breast that's probably waht it is \ntbhey can also be benign cysts\nyou also get lumps before and during your period..\nif you are nervous talk to a gyno or your parentrs
