How to take care of patients with ovarian cysts and what are the postoperative complications

Caring for a patient with ovarian cysts? What are the post-operative complications?

Precautions after ovarian cyst surgery are very important for patients. Precautions for caring for patients with ovarian cysts after surgery mainly involve:

1. Postoperative care for ovarian cysts must be carried out regularly to detect ovarian cysts in time.

2. Follow-up observation: Cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm may disappear on their own, but regular follow-up is necessary. If they increase in size, surgery should be performed immediately.

3. Ovarian cysts may recur after surgery, so be sure to go to the hospital for regular physical examinations.

4. Avoid eating greasy food.

5. Increase protein intake after ovarian cyst surgery. Protein can help wounds heal quickly and increase physical strength. You can choose fish because fish is easier to digest and absorb than fish.

6. Eat an appropriate amount of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins, which can improve your immunity and help wounds heal quickly.

7. Drink more water after ovarian cyst surgery.

Common complications of ovarian cyst surgery include:

1. Abdominal incision infection can be caused by the original cyst infection spreading to the abdominal wall or improper suturing of the abdominal wall, incomplete hemostasis, and secondary infection of hematoma. Postoperatively, there is often fever, wound pain, edema around the incision, or a sense of fluctuation and induration.

2. Hematoma formation is common in ovarian cyst removal surgery. It is caused by poor suture of the cyst cavity after cyst removal, leaving dead space, bleeding or oozing from the wound.
