Failed breast cyst aspiration

1 reply

I've had a few painful cysts aspirated with needles and never had a problem.

I went to the clinic for two new cysts last week and after an ultrasound they were digging around in my breast with a needle for about three minutes without finding the right site. In the end I fainted. I was told to go home and not worry about it because "you clearly can't tolerate the procedure". WTAF!

So what now? I'm concerned that I haven't had the new cysts properly examined and one is still huge / visible above my skin and I need it drained! I've been reading about it on Reddit and some women have resorted to buying needles themselves to do it!!

Has anyone else had a failed cyst aspiration and was there any follow up?

If it is visible above the skin how could they not find it? I've had one that was tricky to get but it was deep.

Do you have a number for the breast clinic? If so maybe call and ask them if you can try again (if you want to)
