What to pay attention to after ovarian cyst surgery

What should I pay attention to after ovarian cyst surgery?

Precautions after ovarian cyst surgery: First, we need to determine whether it is a laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery or an abdominal ovarian cyst surgery.

If it is laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery, it is also the most commonly used clinical method for treating ovarian cysts. Generally, the trauma is very small, and the patient may pass gas quickly on the first day after surgery. After passing gas, he can eat some liquid food, and gradually transition to a normal diet after defecation.

If it is a laparoscopic surgery, unless there are special circumstances, the patient is encouraged to get up on the first day after the surgery. This helps to expel gas, and also helps with intestinal adhesions and intestinal obstruction, and can prevent lower limb venous thrombosis.

1. It is generally recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse for one month. After the menstrual cycle is over, sexual intercourse can be resumed after the next menstrual period to keep the vulva clean and avoid vaginitis.

2. Ovarian cyst surgery should be reviewed according to the doctor's advice, because ovarian cysts are a disease that is particularly prone to recurrence, and cysts may recur after surgery. We should follow the doctor's advice, such as reviewing one month after surgery, and then reviewing ultrasound every six months to one year to determine whether the cyst has recurred.

3. Be sure to ask the doctor for the pathological results of the cyst to determine whether it is a benign ovarian cyst or a malignant ovarian cyst. If it is a benign ovarian cyst, even if the surgery is completely cured, you can still have regular checkups. If it is a malignant ovarian cyst, the next follow-up and treatment should be determined according to the doctor's advice.
