Physical restrictions

I recently had a mammogram and breast ultrasound which showed I have 2 benign breast cysts. I didn't think to ask the doctor if there are any physical restriction, for example lifting/pushing heavy weighted items which could affect any changes in the cysts. Thank you for any information since my online searches are not very productive.

    You didn't have a biopsy. You just had imaging that showed you have cysts?

    There are no limitations I know of for breast cysts. They are benign. Sometimes they get bigger. Sometimes they shrink. Sometimes they go away. Drinking caffeine may irritate them and make them sorer. That's about all I know you can do-limit caffeine, but nothing is going to "hurt" them.

    Thank you MelissaDallas. I just realized I forgot to write that I am to go back in 6 months for a check up.

    no physical limitations with benign cysts. Taking evening primrose oil, along with decreasing caffeine, can help to decrease the occurence of cysts too.
