Does breast cyst puncture require hospitalization?

Breast cyst puncture usually does not require hospitalization. Most breast cyst punctures are minimally invasive outpatient procedures with short operation time and little trauma. Patients can return to their daily lives after a period of observation. However, specific populations or complex situations, such as patients with concomitant infections, large cysts, or those who need further treatment, may need to be hospitalized for observation.

Breast cysts are fluid-filled cystic structures caused by blockage of small ducts in the breast or hormonal fluctuations. During testing and diagnosis, doctors usually recommend ultrasound-guided puncture, which can reduce the pressure in the cyst and relieve discomfort, and can also extract fluid for testing to clarify the nature of the lesion. No special preparation is required before the operation, and the entire puncture process usually only takes a few minutes. For routine patients, local protection only requires patching and reduction of strenuous exercise after surgery, and no special care is required; but if the cyst is located deeper or the amount of fluid is larger, it may cause risks such as mild pain and infection, and further hospitalization or anti-infection treatment is required.

Breast health is related to the quality of life. Patients with cysts should pay attention to diet adjustment, reduce the intake of high-fat foods, and consume more fiber-rich fruits and vegetables; maintain regular exercise to promote breast metabolism; and have regular checkups to monitor changes in lesions at any time. Once the cyst is found to grow repeatedly or is accompanied by pain, redness and swelling, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition. If you feel anxious, it is important to maintain a good attitude, actively cooperate with the doctor's advice, and be responsible for your own health.
