How Breast cyst aspiration is performed
Under ultrasound guidance, for cystic lesions with predominantly liquid content, a fine needle is often inserted into the cyst cavity under local anesthesia to slowly aspirate the fluid. If applicable, samples can be taken for cytological examination, and medication can be considered for injection to reduce re-accumulation. Postoperative short-term compression and observation are performed to monitor for signs of bleeding, pain, and infection, with the goal of relieving symptoms and obtaining diagnostic information. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
