What Surgery is Performed for Breast Cysts?

1. If the breast cyst is small in size and there are no obvious discomforting symptoms, surgical treatment is generally not required. If the cyst is larger or the symptoms are obvious, surgical treatments such as aspiration via puncture and breast rotary excision can be used.

2. The cause of breast cysts is still unclear and may be caused by hyperplasia of breast tissue or abnormal breast duct structure. They can occur singly or in multiples, with different shapes and sizes. When small in volume, they may have no obvious symptoms, and in this case, no special treatment is required. They usually do not cause serious damage to the body, but it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice for regular follow-ups.

3. When a cyst undergoes acute expansion, it may cause sudden severe localized pain. Secondary infection may also lead to acute inflammatory reactions such as redness, swelling, fever, and pain. In such cases, the fluid inside the cyst can be completely aspirated through fine needle aspiration, and the breast cyst may disappear. If necessary, vacuum-assisted breast minimally invasive rotary excision can be used to remove the lesion. This surgery generally has relatively small trauma, a shorter duration, faster wound healing, and a relatively low probability of postoperative sequelae.

4. After the treatment of breast cysts, patients should take good care of themselves and maintain a low-fat, fiber-rich diet, such as lean meat, green leafy vegetables, and various fresh fruits.
