About Ovarian Cyst

Ovaries are found in the lower abdomen on either side of the uterus. There are two ovaries that produce hormones like progesterone and estrogen, as well as eggs. Ovarian cysts are also known as cystic ovarian masses. They are solid or fluid-filled sacs that develop either inside or on the outside of the ovaries. Cysts are common, especially in pregnant women and women who are yet to go through menopause. Most of the time, cysts are painless and go away without any treatment within the successive few menstrual cycles. However, a cyst can become a problem if they start growing or does not go away naturally.

Most ovarian cysts are small and harmless. However, an enlarged cyst can cause symptoms like pressure, bloating, swelling, and/or sharp or dull pain that may come and go in the lower abdomen on the side of the cyst. A ruptured cyst can cause sudden and severe pain.

Ovarian Cyst Removal Treatment is the surgery to remove a cyst or cysts from one or both ovaries. With advanced medical technology like laparoscopy, ovarian cyst removals are more straightforward, usually painless, and minimally invasive. As a result, they offer faster recovery and the highest success rates.

Treatment

Diagnosis

Ovarian cysts are common and they normally go away without any necessary treatment. However, sometimes they do not go away or become enlarged. There are many non-surgery risks so the doctor may suggest possible tests to determine the size, placement, and type of cysts to prepare a treatment plan accordingly. The tests may include-

  • Physical exam
  • Review of medications
  • Blood tests
  • Urine test
  • CT scan —is a medical imaging technique and a type of X-ray used in radiology to capture detailed images of the organs inside our body noninvasively for diagnostic purposes.
  • Ultrasound — is a diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create an image of internal organs.

It is necessary to remove the ovarian cyst or cysts if-

  • the cyst is cancerous
  • large cysts—more than 2.5 inches (6.35 centimeters) in diameter
  • solid cysts (rather than those that are filled with fluid)
  • cysts causing severe pain

Surgery

An ovarian cyst can be treated in several ways such as with lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery. However, which method of treatment is particularly best for you, depends on several factors such as the type, size, numbers, and severity of the ovarian cysts.

During laparoscopic surgery, general anesthesia is administered to the patient. The surgeon will then fill your abdomen with carbon dioxide gas to move the abdominal wall away from the organs to increase visibility. Once the abdomen is inflated, the laparoscope is inserted through a small incision which is made near the belly button. Next, two to three additional key-hole-sized incisions are made on either side of the lower abdomen.

A lighted camera on the end of the laparoscope transmits a live video feed to a screen for the surgeon to perform the procedure. First, the doctor will examine the cyst and ovary more closely and then remove the cyst using surgical tools that pass through the incisions. During a cystectomy, the surgeon works carefully not to damage the ovary or fallopian tubes and preserve the patient’s fertility. Sometimes the cyst can also rupture during the surgery.

Once the cyst has been removed, the surgeon will close the incisions with stitches. Often women who have had a laparoscopic cystectomy can go home the same day of their surgery. Recovery time does vary according to your condition, but most women return to work and resume light activity within 1-2 weeks of the surgery.

How to prepare for ovarian cyst removal surgery?

In most cases, ovarian cyst removal surgery is an elective surgery that’s scheduled through your doctor’s office in advance. You should expect to take a few days off from work for this procedure and the recovery period after completing the process.

You need to keep in mind the following points when preparing to undergo ovarian cyst removal surgery.

  • You may be asked to stop taking certain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), clopidogrel (Plavix), warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood thinners.
  • Ask your doctor which drugs you should take on the day of the surgery.
  • Take the medicine your doctor has told you to take with a small sip of water.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a bleeding disorder or any medical conditions.
  • You will have blood samples taken if you need a blood transfusion post-procedure. However, it depends on the surgical procedure used to remove the cysts.
  • Stop smoking and drinking alcohol as they may lead to certain complications.
  • After midnight or the night before your surgery, you will be asked not to eat or drink anything.
  • Your doctor or hospital staff will inform you when to reach the hospital on the day of your surgery.

What to expect after the ovarian cyst removal surgery

After undergoing ovarian cyst removal surgery, you may experience a little pain and discomfort in your stomach that goes away in the next few days. The time for recovery after ovarian cyst removal surgery varies from case to case.

The following are the things you can expect after undergoing ovarian cyst removal surgery:-

  • Hospital Stay: Since ovarian cyst removal surgery is a major procedure, you may need to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days. The doctor will monitor your blood pressure, urine output, etc., to ensure that everything is normal.
  • After-effects of anesthesia: You may feel sleepy for the first 24 hours after your surgery.
  • Stitches & Dressing: The surgeon closes the incisions with stitches or staplers. Glue and dissolvable stitches dissolve by themselves, and other stitches may be removed within five to seven days of the surgery.
  • Scars: In the case of laparoscopic surgery, you may have one to four small keyhole scars on your stomach.
  • Washing & Showering: You can take a bath and shower after the removal of the dressing. Pat the scar and dry it after taking a bath with clean disposable tissues or dry it in the air. Make sure that you keep the wounds clean and dry for fast healing.
  • Pain & Discomfort: You may experience mild pain and discomfort in your lower tummy for the first few days after surgery. Your doctor will prescribe you certain painkillers such as codeine or dihydrocodeine to manage the pain.
  • Mild Bleeding From Vagina: You may experience slight bleeding from the vagina for the first 1-2 days after the surgery. However, consult your doctor immediately in case of heavy bleeding or unexpected symptoms.
  • Eating & Drinking: Once you are awake after completion of the surgery, you can start taking sips of drinking water or a cup of tea and something light to eat before going home.
  • Hormone Replacement Therapy: If your ovary or ovaries are removed during the surgery due to complications, your doctor may start hormone replacement therapy.
  • Sexual Intercourse: Don’t resume sexual intercourse until your doctor gives the final clearance. Complete recovery with internal healing takes around 4-6 weeks. Wait until your incisions are fully healed that takes approximately 3-5 days to several weeks.

Apart from all the above, you must avoid strenuous activities including exercise for about a week. You can expect to resume your office work 2-4 weeks after the surgery.
