Can other problems happen because of breast cyst aspiration?
Before you have breast cyst aspiration, your doctor will talk to you about possible problems. You might have some discomfort where the needle goes in. You might have a little bruise on your breast. You might get an infection at the aspiration site. Do I need to see my doctor again after I have breast cyst aspiration? Yes. If the lump in your breast is a cyst and the cyst is drained successfully, your doctor will want to recheck the area in four to six weeks to make sure that the cyst has not filled up with fluid again. This follow-up visit is important. A cyst that refills with fluid can be a problem. If a cyst refills at any time, call your doctor.
