How long does it take to recover from ovarian cyst surgery?

Ovarian cysts are very common gynecological diseases. Ovarian cysts are very harmful to women's health, especially women who have fertility requirements. Ovarian cysts must be actively treated. After professional and regular treatment, women's ovarian function can quickly return to a normal level and will not affect future health and fertility. How long does it usually take to recover after ovarian cyst surgery?

How long does it take to recover from ovarian cyst surgery?

Traditional surgical treatment of ovarian cysts requires surgery, and patients can usually be discharged from the hospital 7 to 10 days after the operation. After laparotomy, cystectomy or ovarian removal is performed according to the patient's condition. The trauma is severe, the patient often suffers from heavy bleeding during the operation, many sequelae, and slow recovery after the operation. For patients with ovarian cysts who want to have children, it may even affect their fertility. The development of laparoscopic surgery has reduced the pain of surgery for patients and shortened their recovery period. It is a minimally invasive surgery project that has developed rapidly in recent years.

How to care after laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts

1. Keep warm, especially during menstruation. I don’t know about you, but I have a cold constitution (most of my friends who have this disease also have cold constitutions, and most of them suffer from dysmenorrhea), so you must keep warm. If you have stomach pain during menstruation, you can try a “hot pack” to warm your lower abdomen. Because the development of cysts is closely related to menstruation.

2. Wound care: The wound of laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts is usually one centimeter long at the navel. After the operation, simple sutures are done. At this time, absorbable or non-absorbable sutures may be used. If non-absorbable sutures are used, they should be removed seven days after the operation. If absorbable sutures are used, they do not need to be removed. The most important thing is to prevent infection and inflammation, but inflammation of the wound after laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts is quite rare.

3. Reduce the pressure of daily work and life. It is also important to develop good work and rest habits, go to bed early and get up early, and don't stay up late. Because I heard that mental stress and irregular work and rest schedules can also cause endocrine disorders, which is definitely not good for cysts.

4. Vaginal bleeding: For patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery for hysterectomy and ovarian cysts, brown bleeding within two weeks is still normal because the top of the vagina will be sutured after the hysterectomy. It should be noted that having sex or lifting heavy objects within eight weeks of laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts can easily cause poor wound healing and bleeding from the stump, so it should be avoided.

If a woman has ovarian cysts and plans to undergo surgery, she must arrange her work and life properly and leave enough time for recovery after the surgery. Do not go back to work or do physical labor right after ovarian cyst surgery and before your body has recovered, otherwise it will cause great harm to your body.
