About Dr. Abrol

Breast cysts are very common among women aged 30 to 50. Most are benign, causing no harm, though they can bring pain, tenderness, swelling, and emotional stress. A breast cyst is a benign, fluid-filled sac that forms when fluid fills an empty milk duct - simple cysts (smooth-walled, most common), multiple cysts, and complex cysts (part liquid, part solid, sometimes needing further assessment) are the main types.

Many women prefer Ayurvedic treatment for breast cysts for a natural approach, to avoid unnecessary surgery, and for long-term hormonal balance without harmful side effects. Every plan is customised to the patient's Prakriti (body constitution) and the severity of symptoms. In Ayurveda, a breast cyst is considered a Granthi formed because of dosha imbalance and toxin accumulation - treatment focuses on balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, eliminating toxins (Ama), strengthening digestion (Agni), and supporting healthy tissue metabolism.

Common Questions

Breast Cyst - Frequently Asked Questions

It can be - some cysts are painless, while others cause discomfort or tenderness, especially before the period.

Simple breast cysts do not turn into cancer and do not increase cancer risk. Further evaluation is recommended if a cyst appears complex or solid, grows rapidly, or causes bloody nipple discharge.

It can be unbearably painful or cause swelling - in this case, seek advice from a doctor promptly.

Ayurveda aims to address the underlying imbalance so the issue can be resolved for the long term, not just managed temporarily.

Recurrence is possible if lifestyle and hormonal imbalances are not addressed - holistic, ongoing care is important.
