Wanted to know if having breast lump aspirations hurt? if so, how do docs treat the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically : It is typically a very fast drawing out of fluid with a needle, and most patients do not find it uncomfortable enough to warrant any sort of pre-medication. Generally over the counter pain meds can be taken afterwards if needed, or you could apply ice just afterwards.
