Such a condition as a breast cyst threatens not only elderly women but also young girls. It is usually caused by hormonal imbalances, psycho-emotional overload, and diseases of the genitourinary system.
A cystic formation is a cavity filled with fluid. While the cyst itself is not dangerous, it can cause many complications:
- If an infection enters it, suppuration may occur.
- A large cyst can deform the breast.
- This condition significantly increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
Breast Cyst: Folk Remedies
Folk remedies for treating a breast cyst can accelerate the healing process.
The most popular remedy is a burdock infusion. To prepare it, take 10 grams of finely chopped burdock root and pour a glass of boiling water over it. Close the container tightly and let it infuse for three hours. Drink 15 ml three times a day before meals.
To prepare St. John’s wort compresses, you need 20 grams of dried plant, which you pour 200 grams of boiling water over. The resulting infusion should cool down and become just warm. Then, soak a cotton pad and apply it to the area where the cyst is palpated.
A rather effective recipe is as follows: heat 200 grams of grated beetroot in a water bath and add 2 tablespoons of 9% vinegar. Apply the compress at night, and in the morning remove it and wrap the area where it was applied with a woolen scarf. The course of treatment is 10 days.
A breast cyst causes pain, which can be relieved with a cabbage leaf. For a cabbage leaf compress, you need to smear the inner side with butter and apply this side to the breast at night. Place a cloth on top and wear a bra. By morning, the cabbage leaf should draw out the pain. This recipe was known by our great-grandmothers; it is effective and safe.
However, it is important to remember that self-diagnosis and self-treatment are dangerous to health, so you should clarify the diagnosis with a mammologist. Folk remedies for treating a breast cyst should be discussed with a doctor in advance.
