Can breast cysts be treated with dry needling?

Dry needling is not usually recommended for breast cysts because it has not been widely proven to be safe and effective and may carry the risk of infection or tissue damage. Breast cysts are a common benign lesion that is caused by excessive proliferation of breast glands and connective tissue. They are common in women, especially during the menstrual cycle and when hormone levels fluctuate significantly. Breast cysts can vary in size and symptoms, usually presenting as breast tenderness or a lump, and most cysts are benign and will change on their own during the menstrual cycle. Diagnosis includes ultrasound and mammography.

Treatment for breast cysts is mostly based on observation and physical signs, especially when the cysts do not cause obvious discomfort or pain. However, if the breast cysts cause significant pain or discomfort, the doctor may recommend some interventions, such as: 1) fine needle aspiration: extracting cyst fluid through a fine needle to relieve discomfort; 2) hormone regulation therapy: adjusting hormone levels in the body through medication to reduce cyst formation; 3) in rare cases with severe symptoms, surgical removal of the cyst may be considered. However, self-treatment or trial of unproven treatments, such as dry needling, is not recommended.

During the nursing process, you should pay attention to: maintain regular breast examinations and observe changes; eat a healthy diet and reduce caffeine intake to reduce symptoms; maintain a healthy lifestyle, control your weight and exercise regularly to maintain overall health. If you feel persistent breast discomfort or find abnormalities during self-examination, you should consult a professional doctor in time to obtain appropriate diagnosis and advice. With professional medical guidance, you can effectively manage and reduce the risks that breast cysts may bring.
