Does breast cyst aspiration require hospitalization?

Breast cyst aspiration generally does not require hospitalization and can usually be done on an outpatient basis. The whole process is quick and has low risk, but the specific situation needs to be determined by the doctor's evaluation based on the size, location and pathological nature of the cyst. In a few cases, such as repeated infection or suspected malignant changes in the cyst, further treatment and observation may be required, and hospitalization may be recommended at this time.

Breast cyst is one of the common benign lesions in the breast gland, which is mainly formed by fluid retention caused by obstruction of the breast alveoli. If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, most of them do not require treatment, only regular follow-up; but for patients with larger cysts or symptoms such as flaky pain and swelling, aspiration treatment is a common choice. The aspiration process is generally performed by a professional doctor. A fine needle is used to puncture the cyst and extract the accumulated fluid, which can quickly relieve local discomfort. The entire treatment process usually only takes a few minutes and is completed under local anesthesia. No specific recovery time is required after the operation, but strenuous activities should be avoided in the short term to observe whether rare complications such as infection or bleeding occur. If the cyst fluid appears pink, bloody, or recurrent effusion, pathological testing may be required to determine whether other further diagnosis and treatment are needed.

To avoid the formation and recurrence of breast cysts, women are advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle, ensure balanced nutrition, avoid high-fat and high-sugar diets, and exercise regularly to help balance endocrine. Self-examination and regular screening to maintain breast health are also very important. It is recommended that adult women self-examine once a month during the non-menstrual period, and women over 40 years old undergo breast ultrasound or mammography examinations every year. If acute pain, abnormal nipple secretion, or rapid enlargement of the lump occurs, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to evaluate the condition. Caring for your own health starts with the details.
