ultrasound and mammogram report

Hi ,I'm 43 years old ,just did my ultrasound and mammogram,here are results ...gonna see my doctor next week but can you please help me understand these reports.
Ultrasound report:
In the 10:00 position of the right breast is a 0.4x2.3x0.3 cm cyst.In the left breast there are multiple hypoechoic areas with consistent cysts ,largest at 1:00 2.2 x1.4 cm.At 12 and 1:00 there is some further hypoechoic areas which appears to represent dense glandular tissue.No solid masses are vizualized.
Mammogram report:
There are several nodules in the superior left breast which appear more numerous than on 14/34/2008 (my last test).A small nodule in the upper -outer right breast is unchanged and is consistent with a small cyst or intramammary lymph node.
How serious is to have all these cysts ?Do I need to drain them and do biopsy?I don't have any pain in my breast?Pls help me with some answers.Thank you

If all the findings are truly cysts then they are of little concern. A great number of women have Fibrocystic Breast Condition and have multiple cysts and/or fibroadenomas. These are not usually removed unless they are causing a great deal of pain or become very large. Cysts can be drained but if they cause no problem then they can be left alone except for regular monitoring by some type of imagery.  Regards ....
