Cysts & Fibrosis Treatment

Medical management of benign cysts and soft-tissue fibrosis

Benign cysts and areas of fibrosis — including ganglion cysts, epidermal cysts and post-inflammatory fibrotic lesions — can cause discomfort, restricted movement and cosmetic concern. Our clinic offers accurate diagnosis, ultrasound-guided injection therapy and, where required, minimally invasive removal.

Treatment approach depends on lesion type, size and location; many cysts respond to aspiration and corticosteroid injection, while persistent or complex lesions are referred for surgical removal under local anaesthesia.

Key Benefits

Accurate diagnosis with ultrasound assessment
Aspiration and injection therapy avoids surgical scarring
Pain and discomfort relief from cyst pressure
Minimally invasive approach for most lesion types

What to Expect

Clinical Assessment

History, examination and ultrasound to characterise the lesion.

Diagnosis Confirmation

Benign nature confirmed; treatment plan agreed with the patient.

Aspiration or Injection

Cyst aspirated and/or corticosteroid injected under sterile conditions.

Follow-Up

Review to confirm resolution; surgical referral arranged if recurrence occurs.

Recovery & Aftercare

Minor soreness at the treatment site for 24–48 hours; full activity can typically resume the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the cyst come back after aspiration?

Recurrence is possible, particularly for ganglion cysts; steroid injection alongside aspiration reduces recurrence rates significantly.

Is removal always needed?

No — many cysts resolve with aspiration and injection therapy; surgical removal is reserved for persistent, painful or cosmetically significant lesions.
