Is it possible to have an oophorectomy for ovarian cysts?

Can ovarian cysts be removed?

1. There are many patients with ovarian cysts, some are younger and some are older, but the harm of ovarian cysts should be clear, and malignant changes may occur, causing serious consequences. So if you are an elderly patient, oophorectomy is sometimes very necessary. Let's learn about it below.

2. Since it is an oophorectomy, the patient will have some abnormal symptoms after the operation, but don't worry too much. After one ovary is removed, some people tend to look old, haggard, have difficulty controlling their emotions, get excited, regretful, have headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, daytime sleepiness, nighttime dreams, hot and cold sensations, numbness of hands and feet, and other discomforts, but if you go to the hospital for a check-up, many laboratory test results are normal. This situation is due to hormone disorders after oophorectomy, and the body cannot adapt immediately. As long as estrogen is supplemented, this situation will improve quickly.

3. If the patient is older, especially in menopause, there will not be much consequence. At this time, the ovaries are atrophied and their functions are reduced. Even if the ovaries are removed, the impact is not too serious. This is why some people feel more uncomfortable after oophorectomy, while others have little effect after oophorectomy. Bone loss is prone to occur after oophorectomy, so fractures are prone to occur. At the same time, the vaginal wall becomes thinner, secretions decrease, and vaginal dryness and pain are prone to occur during sex. Using contraceptive cream can increase lubrication and relieve pain.
