How long after breast cyst surgery can I exercise?

After breast cyst surgery, it is generally necessary to gradually resume exercise within two weeks to one month after the surgery, but the specific recovery time needs to be determined based on personal constitution and type of surgery. It is recommended to engage in moderate activities under the guidance of a doctor.

Breast cyst surgery is divided into minimally invasive surgery and traditional excision surgery, and the recovery time will be different. If it is a minimally invasive surgery, usually light activities can be started one week after the operation, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided to avoid increasing the tension on the wound. Traditional excision surgery may require a longer recovery period, especially for patients with large-area excisions or other complications. It is recommended to rest for at least two to three weeks before trying to resume daily activities. During this period, patients should closely observe whether the incision has redness, swelling, exudation, or other signs of infection. If there are any abnormalities, they need to seek medical attention in time to adjust the rehabilitation plan. For people who like to exercise, they should slowly transition from low-intensity exercise (such as walking, stretching, etc.) to moderate intensity. It usually takes more than one month to fully resume fitness activities.

Early postoperative care is particularly important. Patients should avoid overexerting themselves and not moving their upper limbs too frequently. When the incision is completely healed and the doctor confirms that there is no infection or other complications, gradually increase the amount of exercise and prevent upper limb lymphedema or other postoperative discomfort. Postoperative diet should also pay attention to high-protein and high-vitamin diets to promote wound healing and enhance physical strength.
