There are no risks involved in the entire process, however, some of the common side effects experienced by the patients include soreness, bleeding at the location, light bruising, dizziness, etc.
These last for a very short time and then resolve on their own..
You may also have some mild swelling after your FNA.
If you do, put a cold compress (such as an ice pack or a cool washcloth) on the area for 20 minutes to help reduce the swelling.
It's important that you take the cold compress off for at least 20 minutes before you put it back on..

Well-known pitfalls are severe nuclear atypia in fibroadenoma of the breast, cytological atypia in reactive fibrohistiocytic lesions, low-grade nodular lymphoma versus reactive lymphadenopathy, and branchial cyst versus cystically degenerate squamous cell carcinoma.
Other pitfalls are encountered only rarely..
You may have mild discomfort after your FNA.
If you do, take acetaminophen (Tylenol\xae).
If you can't take acetaminophen, tell the healthcare provider who sent you for your FNA.

After an FNA
Biopsies can sometimes cause bleeding, bruising, or swelling.
This can make it seem like a breast lump is larger after the biopsy.
Most often, this is nothing to worry about, and the bruising and swelling will go away over time..
Here, the case is described of an acute thyroid swelling after FNA, accompanied with funicular hypoechoic lesions in thyroid gland.
A new hypothesis is proposed that it is the anaphylactic reaction resulting in this phenomenon.
A thirty-year-old woman referred to the hospital because of nodules in her bilateral thyroid lobes.
After the removal of the needle, these cells will be placed on a slide.
Your healthcare provider might repeat this procedure a few times to obtain different samples from different parts of the nodule.
Sometimes the lump will be all or mainly fluid.
The fluid can be removed during the biopsy.
Minor bleeding under the skin at the biopsy site can occur.
This can result in a tender, swollen area called a hematoma.
Infection at the biopsy site is rare, because sterile techniques and equipment are used for all fine needle aspirations.
The risk of complications from fine needle aspiration during endoscopy is slightly higher.
What To Expect After Your Cystoscopy You may have numbness (loss of feeling) from the local anesthesia used during your cystoscopy.
Local anesthesia is medication that numbs an area of your body during your procedure.
The numbness should go away within 1 to 3 hours.
You may feel burning when you urinate (pee) for the next 2 to 3 days.
