Will breast cysts recur after surgery?

Breast cysts may recur after surgery, especially if the cause of the cyst is not completely eliminated, but the risk of recurrence can be effectively reduced through proper care and regular checkups. Breast cysts are usually caused by hormone fluctuations, blocked milk ducts, or fluid retention. If the cyst is surgically removed but the related triggering factors are not resolved, such as hormone disorders or breast inflammation in the body, the cyst may form again. The chance of recurrence is also closely related to the nature of the cyst, the type of surgery, and the lifestyle after surgery.

The possibility of recurrence of breast cysts is related to many factors. Common causes include persistent imbalance of estrogen levels in the body, physiological susceptibility of breast tissue, or diseased cells left behind during postoperative tissue repair. If the cyst is simple, the surgery is completely removed and the patient recovers well after surgery, the chance of recurrence is low. However, for complex cysts or those accompanied by fibroadenomas, infections, etc., long-term follow-up observation may be required. At the same time, high-stress life, staying up late for a long time, and poor eating habits will also increase the possibility of recurrence. In order to reduce recurrence, attention should be paid to postoperative management, including strict adherence to the follow-up plan issued by the doctor. Breast ultrasound examinations are usually required every 6 months to 1 year to monitor recurrence signs.

Postoperative recurrence prevention should start from many aspects. First, develop a healthy work and rest schedule, avoid excessive fatigue, and reduce the risk of estrogen secretion disorders; second, optimize eating habits, consume more fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains and green leafy vegetables, and reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods; third, keep a happy mood and improve immunity through appropriate exercise such as yoga and walking. If new cysts are found during the review process, there is no need to panic too much. Personalized management methods can be adopted under the guidance of a doctor, and progesterone drugs can be taken to help balance hormones if necessary. Strengthening self-management and seeking medical treatment in time are important ways to control the recurrence of breast cysts.
