Breast cysts affect the life of couples, making it impossible for women to breastfeed normally and take good care of their children. Breast cysts have interfered with women's normal life.

Can breast cysts cause nipple discharge?

To answer this question, we can get the answer from the early symptoms of breast cysts. Early symptoms of nipple cysts include:

1. Breast distending pain: Common unilateral or bilateral breast distending pain or tenderness. The course of the disease ranges from 2 months to several years. Most patients have the characteristics of cyclical pain, which occurs or worsens before menstruation and decreases or disappears after menstruation. It must be noted that although the periodicity of breast pain is a typical manifestation of this disease, the absence of this feature does not negate the existence of the disease.

2. Breast lumps: often multiple, unilateral or bilateral, more common in the outer and upper quadrants; and the size and texture often change cyclically with menstruation. In the early stages of menstruation, the lumps increase in size and are hard in texture, and are often hard during menstruation. The mass shrank later and became firm but not hard. During palpation, the mass can be palpated in a nodular structure with varying sizes, unclear boundaries with surrounding tissues, and often tender. It has no adhesion to the skin and deep tissues and can be pushed. The axillary lymph nodes are not swollen.

3. Nipple discharge: Discharge can be milky, serous, watery or bloody, and is mostly unilateral nipple discharge. Nipple discharge can be classified into physiological and pathological causes. Physiological nipple discharge is mainly seen in pregnant and lactating women. Pathological nipple discharge refers to breast duct secretion under non-physiological conditions.

Therefore, from the early symptoms of breast cysts, it can be concluded that breast cysts can cause nipple discharge.
