What should be noted after breast cyst surgery?
Disease description:
I was previously diagnosed with a breast cyst and will be undergoing surgery for it soon. I would like to ask what precautions should be taken for this type of surgery?
After breast cyst surgery, patients should pay attention to the following aspects to promote recovery and prevent recurrence:
1. **Postoperative observation and rest**: Closely monitor postoperative physical reactions and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities occur. Ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive fatigue to facilitate wound healing and overall recovery.
2. **Dietary adjustment**: Maintain a balanced and varied diet with increased protein intake to promote wound healing. Avoid oily, spicy, and irritating foods, as well as cosmetics and tonics containing hormones, to prevent interference with recovery or worsening of the condition.
3. **Functional exercises**: Perform appropriate functional exercises under a doctor's guidance, such as finger, wrist, and shoulder joint movements, to improve upper limb blood circulation and muscle recovery. However, progress gradually and avoid overexertion.
4. **Regular follow-up**: Follow medical advice for regular follow-up visits to monitor postoperative recovery and prevent recurrence. A follow-up examination is generally recommended three months after surgery, followed by checkups every six months to one year.
5. **Psychological adjustment**: Maintain a positive and optimistic mindset and avoid emotional fluctuations, as this can aid physical recovery and help prevent disease recurrence.
