How Image-guided Aspiration + Sclerotherapy is performed
Under ultrasound or CT guidance and local anesthesia, a fine needle is inserted into the cyst cavity to aspirate the contents, with samples retained for testing. If necessary, an optional sclerosing agent (such as alcohol, polidocanol, etc.) is injected to promote fibrosis and closure of the cyst wall. Subsequently, pain, bleeding, and signs of infection are monitored for a short period, with pressure bandaging applied if necessary. The goal is to reduce the cyst size and relieve tenderness. Some individuals may require repeated treatment. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific treatment should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
