Sorry if I ask my question again but it wasn't answered and I really need to know. I have myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve with prolapse and mild regurgitation. Please tell me whether antibiotics are necessary for a mole removal or a needle breast cyst aspiration. I have to undergo both procedures. Thank you.

Now I wonder if antibiotics are necessary even for a Pap test!! What about yeast infections and antibiotic resistance with their such frequent use? What are we to do? I can't be taking antibiotics for a dental cleaning, then some months later for a pap test, then for the breast procedure. I usually have to undergo these 3 things every 6 months! Thanks for listening. As a newly diagnosed MVP patient, many questions arise.
