When the milk is sucked out, the cyst is seen to shrink, and the residual cyst cavity is then bandaged with pressure, and in a few cases, a one-time suction can be cured. 2, if the cysts recurring, repeated puncture is ineffective can consider surgery. Surgical treatment If the cyst has repeated inflammatory infections or keeps growing, simple cyst removal can be performed under local anesthesia. This is a benign lesion, only simple cyst removal can be performed, without the need to remove the mammary gland. If accompanied by acute inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment before surgery. In case of breastfeeding, the operation should be performed after the return of breast milk. Preventive measures: 1.
