Precautions after breast cyst surgery

After breast cyst surgery, you need to pay attention to wound care, diet adjustment, rest recovery and regular follow-up to promote physical recovery and prevent complications.

1) Wound care

The wound needs to be kept clean and dry after surgery to prevent infection. Each dressing change should be carried out strictly according to the doctor's instructions. Avoid touching the wound or tearing the gauze by yourself. If the wound is red, swollen, hot, painful, or has increased exudation, you need to see a doctor immediately. Avoid strenuous exercise before removing the stitches to avoid pulling the surgical site.

2) Diet adjustment

After surgery, it is recommended to eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as fish, eggs, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, which are helpful for tissue repair and immunity enhancement. Eat less spicy and irritating foods to avoid causing physical discomfort. Add appropriate amounts of foods rich in dietary fiber (such as oats and sweet potatoes) to improve constipation problems that may occur after surgery.

3) Rest and activities

Adequate rest is essential for postoperative recovery. In the early stage, you can choose a relaxed supine or reclining position to avoid direct pressure on the breast area. Within one week after surgery, you can gradually engage in light activities, such as walking, to promote blood circulation, but you need to avoid lifting heavy objects, overexerting, or strenuous exercise.

4) Regular follow-up

After the operation, you need to have regular follow-up examinations according to the doctor's advice, including ultrasound and physical examinations, to monitor the health of the breast and rule out the possibility of cyst recurrence. Women should develop the habit of regular breast screening, pay attention to changes in breast health, and detect and treat early.

Scientific care after breast cyst surgery can effectively promote recovery and prevent recurrence. Keep the doctor's advice in mind and arrange your work and rest and diet properly. If you feel uncomfortable, you should seek medical attention in time to ensure a smooth recovery after surgery. Improving health awareness and regular check-ups will provide long-term protection for breast health.
