What happens if the cyst is not removed?

The most common type of cyst is breast cyst, which refers to the local cyst in the breast, which can cause breast swelling and even fluid accumulation in the breast. The cyst becomes larger and larger and is more likely to rupture. Regardless of whether the cyst is benign or malignant, it should be taken seriously because it requires surgical removal. However, many patients do not have the courage to undergo removal. Do the cysts really need to be removed?

Do breast cysts have to be removed?

Breast cysts are mostly located in the center of the breast and around the nipple, especially above the nipple. More common in middle-aged women. Patients often have a history of breast inflammation and breast trauma, which can lead to obstruction of the large duct opening.

Do breast cysts need to be removed?

In fact, breast cysts need to be detected and treated early. Once discovered, surgical removal should be considered, but surgical treatment is not the only treatment method. Surgery only requires simple removal of the tumor. For example, during lactation, if there is a secondary infection, the infection should be controlled and the milk should be drained, and then the tumor should be removed and sent for pathological examination. Therefore, whether breast cysts need to be removed depends on the specific situation of the patient.

The treatment methods for different types of breast cysts are also different, and they should be determined according to the patient's specific condition. There are two common types of breast cysts: galactocysts and simple cysts. For the treatment of galactocystic breast cysts, a puncture and fluid extraction of a breast lump can provide a definitive diagnosis. The main treatment for galactocysts is surgery. For women who are no longer fertile, puncture and fluid extraction can be performed to avoid surgical removal. Only by understanding the patient's specific condition can a conclusion be drawn. Treatment of simple breast cysts: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis are relatively easy, and most simple cysts require surgical treatment. However, the possibility of malignancy must be ruled out before surgery to determine the scope of the surgery.

Generally speaking, the commonly used treatments for breast cysts include traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Western medicine treatment, surgical treatment, etc. Therefore, for breast cysts, patients can choose appropriate treatment methods according to their actual conditions. Surgery is not the only treatment, nor is it suitable for all breast cysts.
