Laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal recovery time and return to routine activities?
4 months ago
My gynecologist said I might need laparoscopic surgery if my cyst doesn’t shrink with medicines. Can anyone share what recovery is like after ovarian cyst removal? How many days does it usually take to get back to normal routine and work?

After a laparoscopic cyst removal many people feel able to do light activities within a few days and often return to desk work in about one to three weeks, depending on how they feel and the nature of their job. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting are usually delayed a little longer. If open surgery is needed instead, recovery can take several weeks. Your surgeon will give personalised advice based on the exact operation and your general health, and following that guidance helps healing go smoothly.
