Breast cysts - Cancer: Breast Message Board

Penjo · 11-21-2006, 11:34 PM

I am 49 and have about 7 - 8 cysts in each breast - some small and some quite large. Have had a few aspirated. Does anyone else have this problem and do your breasts feel better (i.e. no more cysts) once you go through menopause. My periods have been really irregular for past 2 years so guess it has a lot to do with hormones. My breasts used to get sore before my period, but have had quite a few months when they aren't sore - now have just had my period and my breasts are sore afterwards!! Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
