How can you know that you are having a cyst in the breast?

When you palpated something that is hard but not tender, is it a cyst?

There is absolutely no way to tell if a lump is a fluid filled cyst or a solid mass. And anyone who tells you different is a fool.





The only way to tell is by a mamogram and/or ultrasound. The image, shape, size, echo, etc will tell if it is suspicious or not. If it is, a biopsy will be done (and there are different types... core, fine needle, etc).





Anytime a lump is found, it MUST get investigated.

Reply:If you can palpate it , you must proceed with breast ultrasonography to determining if the lamp is solid or cystic and then depending on the surgeon idea . . .
