Suggest Treatment For Cyst In The Breast
Hello just had a mammogram and ultrasound done, a 7mm diameter cyst is present at 11 o'clock, 3cm from nipple on right breast. Left breast has a normal appearance. There are no signs of a solid lesion or significant stromal abnormality on either side. What does this mean, do I need to get cyst drained ??

welcome to Health care magic.
1. No no need of drainage right now.
2. If you are my patient i would recommend a followup ultrasound for further evaluation - only if its not causing any symptoms.
3.If you are symptomatic and its confirmed as cyst - a simple needle aspiration can be done.
4.If its aspirated then get a cytology done.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
