The best treatment for breast cysts
Disease description:
I have been diagnosed with breast cysts and am currently seeking treatment. I would like to ask the doctor, what is the best treatment method for breast cysts?
The optimal treatment for breast cysts varies depending on individual circumstances and generally includes the following options:
1. Observation and follow-up: For most small breast cysts that cause no discomfort or symptoms, special treatment is usually unnecessary. Regular check-ups and monitoring are sufficient.
2. Medication: If the cyst causes pain or discomfort, pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be used under a doctor's guidance. In cases of infected milk retention cysts, antibiotic therapy may be required.
3. Aspiration of cyst fluid: This is suitable for larger cysts with significant fluid accumulation. The fluid is drained via a needle puncture, achieving treatment with minimal trauma and a short recovery period. However, this method has a relatively high recurrence rate.
4. Surgical treatment: Surgery may be considered for recurrent cysts, cysts that are progressively enlarging, or cysts suspected of malignant transformation.
