Is breast cyst extraction a good thing or a bad thing?

Breast cyst drainage is usually safe and beneficial, especially for larger cysts or those that cause discomfort. It can relieve symptoms and clarify the diagnosis, but the specific situation needs to be decided after evaluation by a doctor.

Breast cyst is a common benign lesion formed by the accumulation of fluid in the mammary alveoli. The main purpose of fluid extraction is to relieve local pain or pressure, and to determine its nature by testing the fluid. Breast cysts can be caused by many reasons, including hormone fluctuations, excessive glandular hyperplasia or lactation dysfunction, and some people may have a family genetic correlation. In addition to fluid extraction, the treatment of cysts is more based on the size of the cyst, the severity of the symptoms and the nature of the fluid. When extracting the fluid, the doctor will use fine needle puncture, usually under ultrasound guidance. If the fluid is transparent or light yellow, generally no further treatment is required; but if the fluid is turbid, bloody or the cyst recurs repeatedly, a histopathological examination may be required to rule out potential malignant risks.

In order to effectively manage breast cysts, in addition to fluid extraction, it is also necessary to fully consider lifestyle and dietary adjustments. A high-fat diet may increase the incidence of breast cysts. The daily diet should consume more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as kiwis and almonds, which help regulate hormone balance. Moderate exercise is also important. 3-4 moderate-intensity exercises per week can promote blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory response of the breast glands. Regular physical examinations are critical, especially breast color ultrasound and palpation examinations, which can help detect abnormalities early. If you experience breast pain, abnormal touch, or find that the cyst is growing rapidly, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Although breast cysts are mostly benign, taking appropriate actions in combination with doctor's advice can not only relieve discomfort, but also protect health through early screening. Every tiny change in the body is worth paying attention to. Facing health problems and actively managing them is the warmest way to care for yourself.
