Is polycystic ovary surgery dangerous?

The surgical risk of PCOS is low, but it needs to be evaluated based on individual circumstances. Surgical methods include laparoscopic ovarian drilling, ovarian wedge resection, etc., which are suitable for patients who are ineffective with drug treatment or have severe symptoms. The surgical risks are related to factors such as anesthesia, infection, and bleeding, and must be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor.

1. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a laparoscope to drill holes on the surface of the ovary to reduce androgen secretion and restore ovulation function. The surgery is less traumatic and recovers quickly, but it may cause ovarian dysfunction or adhesion.

2. Ovarian wedge resection can reduce androgen levels and improve symptoms by removing part of the ovarian tissue. The surgical effect is significant, but it may affect the ovarian reserve function, so it should be selected with caution.

3. Surgical risks include anesthesia accidents, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative infection, etc. A comprehensive assessment is required before the operation, such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, coagulation function and other tests to ensure the safety of the operation.

Surgery is not the first choice for PCOS treatment. It is usually recommended to try medication and lifestyle adjustments first. Surgery is suitable for patients who have failed medication, have severe ovulation disorders or infertility. Regular follow-up is required after surgery to monitor ovarian function and hormone levels and prevent complications. Although the risk of surgery is low, it must be performed under the guidance of a professional doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
