Does ovarian cyst surgery affect pregnancy?

Ovarian cysts are a common condition in women. Ovarian cysts themselves are not a disease diagnosis, but there are some diseases that cause ovarian cysts that require surgical treatment. The most common ones are ovarian teratoma and uterine ovarian chocolate cyst. Other uterine and ovarian tumors include plasma cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma, granulosa cell tumor, theca cell tumor, mesangial cyst, etc. So will the ovaries be affected after ovarian cyst surgery?

It will not have any impact. If the surgery does not damage the fallopian tubes on both sides, it will not affect pregnancy. If it is a unilateral ovarian cyst, after surgical removal, it generally has little effect on fertility. If it is a bilateral ovarian cyst, both the uterus and ovaries are removed, and it is believed that normal fertility will be affected in the future.

Surgical treatment of good ovarian cysts:

1. Ovarian cyst removal: Most of these patients have no menstrual disorders and some may even be pregnant. If the tumor is more obvious on one side, bilateral fallopian tube and uterine oophorectomy can be performed on the affected limb.

2. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: One ovarian cyst occurs in very old patients (over 45 years old). Bilateral ovarian cysts are rarely treated with one or both salpingo-oophorectomy. If the patient's general condition is not good or the inflammation is serious, total hysterectomy is often performed. Special attention should be paid to the surgical treatment of very large ovarian cysts. The size of the incision should be ignored and the entire cyst should be removed to avoid rupturing the patient's pulse and allowing the contents to overflow into the abdomen or wound. During the operation, pay attention to the patient's pulse, breathing, and blood pressure changes. If necessary, increase the amount of intravenous drip or oxygen mask, and avoid early detection of acute gastric dilatation, paralytic ileus, and the resulting water and electrolyte imbalance and blood chemistry changes.

3. Adnexectomy and total hysterectomy: If ovarian cysts occur on one or both sides of the ovaries in women near or after menopause, and the patient's general condition is not acceptable, bilateral adnexectomy and total hysterectomy are appropriate, but this will seriously affect endocrine imbalance.

Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts:

Most patients are in the terminal stage when they seek medical treatment, so every effort should be made to remove the primary cyst and visible pelvic and abdominal metastatic lesions. Because malignant cysts of the uterus and ovaries are often adhered or infiltrated with the uterus and adnexa, and are closely located behind the pelvic peritoneum, the uterus and tumor are often removed as a whole piece in an all-round or dumpling-like manner, such as removing the greater omentum, part of the intestine, part of the bladder, and the urethra. For uterine and ovarian malignant tumors combined with ascites, whether or not they are completely removed, a flexible tube should be left in the abdomen to facilitate the injection of anti-cancer drugs or radioactive colloidal gold or colloidal phosphorus solution into the abdomen after surgery.

What are the common problems after ovarian cyst surgery?

1. The couple is prohibited from having sexual intercourse for one month. Those who wish to conceive can do so after half a year.

3. Control the intake of tobacco, alcohol, freshly ground coffee, tea and other beverages.

4. Avoid eating greasy foods. Because fat will accumulate in the human body, the wound cannot heal quickly and is very harmful to bacteria. 5. Increase protein intake. You can choose freshwater fish because fish are easier to digest and absorb. Protein can help wounds heal quickly and improve energy.

6. Eat appropriate amounts of vegetables and fresh fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins, which can enhance one's immunity and help wounds heal faster.
