Will the fluid in a breast cyst be absorbed by itself if it ruptures?

The fluid accumulated after a breast cyst ruptures can usually be absorbed by the body on its own, but it also needs to be judged based on the specific circumstances, such as whether there is infection, inflammation or other complications.

Breast cyst is a relatively common benign lesion. The fluid in the cyst is composed of transparent or slightly turbid fluid. If the cyst ruptures, the accumulated fluid will flow into the surrounding tissues. Normally, the human body has a good self-repair ability, and the immune system will clean up the local area by absorbing and decomposing the accumulated fluid. However, if the rupture is accompanied by infection symptoms such as pain, redness, swelling, or pus, medical intervention may be required. The inflammatory irritation formed after the rupture of the breast cyst may cause local nodules or discomfort, which also requires close observation.

In terms of care, the ruptured cyst should avoid squeezing or rubbing the breast to avoid aggravating local irritation. Cold compresses can be used to relieve symptoms under the guidance of a doctor. If accompanied by obvious pain, fever or persistent redness and swelling, a medical examination should be sought as soon as possible to determine whether antibiotic treatment or further treatment is needed. Patients with breast cysts need to pay attention to a light diet and reduce the intake of high-fat foods. At the same time, they should maintain regular physical examinations. Especially for multiple or recurrent cysts, regular breast ultrasound screening should be performed to ensure that the condition is stable.
