What are the dietary taboos after breast cyst surgery?

After breast cyst surgery, the diet should be light and nutritious, avoiding spicy and greasy food and tobacco and alcohol to promote recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Breast cysts are usually a common benign breast disease. Although surgery can solve the symptoms, the tissue is easily affected by improper diet during the healing process. Spicy foods such as peppers and garlic can cause vasodilation or local fever, aggravating wound swelling; greasy and high-fat foods can interfere with hormone metabolism and may increase the risk of cyst recurrence; alcohol and tobacco products can have an adverse effect on immune function and wound healing.

It is recommended to eat a low-fat, high-protein diet after surgery, such as fish, chicken, tofu, and eggs, which are helpful for tissue repair without increasing the endocrine burden. Eating more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and kiwis, and green vegetables rich in dietary fiber, can help with antioxidants and improve postoperative defecation difficulties. Drinking more warm water and taking appropriate amounts of whole grains and nuts can help improve recovery efficiency.

Diet is only an important part of postoperative recovery. You should also pay attention to maintaining a regular schedule and avoid strenuous exercise and psychological stress. If the wound becomes red, swollen, uncomfortable or other abnormal conditions occur, contact a doctor as soon as possible.
