Cyst Aspiration Treatment in India

Saanvi Mehta, a 28-year-old software engineer, first noticed a small, painless lump on her upper back three months ago. Over time, it grew to the size of a grape and became tender, especially when wearing her backpack for her daily commute. Her primary care physician diagnosed it as a sebaceous cyst and referred her to a general surgeon. The surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that while the cyst was benign, its size and discomfort warranted a simple cyst aspiration to drain it and relieve the pressure. In the outpatient clinic, Saanvi was nervous but found the local anesthetic injection to be the only sharp pain. The actual aspiration felt like odd pressure and a sense of relief as the fluid was withdrawn. The area was sore for a couple of days, but the lump was visibly gone. Saanvi felt anxious about the procedure, fearing it would be more invasive, but was immensely relieved by its simplicity and quick resolution. She regained her confidence, no longer self-conscious or in discomfort, and was grateful for the straightforward fix.
