Breast cysts can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'very minor' to 'very serious'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose breast cysts, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Vitamin CoQ10 Need | 91% | Confirm |
Vitamin B6 Need | 29% | Unlikely |
Need For Dietary Improvement | 22% | Unlikely |
Perimenopause | 4% | Ruled out |
Liver Congestion | 3% | Ruled out |
Vitamin E Need | 2% | Ruled out |
Stress | 2% | Ruled out |
Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects | 1% | Ruled out |
