Breast cysts and HRT

Hi so I posted on here about a lump on
the top of my breast which worried me sick
I went to the breast clinic had a mammogram & scan thank goodness all clear lump was a blocked duct
However when the Dr was scanning my right breast she made a comment of “Oh you’ve got lots of little harmless cysts in your right boob but I’d expect this as your on HRT
no cysts in left breast
Of course I’ve googled and it Seems that cysts are common in women whether or not they’re on HRT

Any thoughts please ?

Cysts are very common in women, a large fraction of us have them. They grow and shrink with the cycle, so might be more noticeable with HRT. If the doctor says don’t worry, don’t worry?

I agree , I’m just wondering if HRT increases the risk of cysts , the Dr didn’t mention don’t worry she just oh lots of small cysts I’d expect this as your on HRT and that was it
