Natural Ovarian Cyst Removal Or Surgery?
If all natural ovarian cyst removal options have failed, sometimes surgery is the only answer to get rid of ovarian cyst pain and discomfort. This ovarian cyst surgery can be done laparoscopically or by classic open surgery. Classic open surgery is sometimes required for the removal of an ovarian cyst. In this type of surgery, an incision is made in the abdomen, and the blood vessels that supply the ovaries are located, clamped, and tied off.
For the next step, the ovarian cyst is removed. Depending on the individual’s situation, the tissue may be sent off to a lab for testing, or in a case where cancer is already suspected, the ovary or both ovaries may be removed. After the surgery is finished, the abdomen is closed and the muscles are sewn up and the incisions are closed up with stitches or clamps.
Typically, the pain after having open surgery for ovarian cyst removal lasts for 7-10 days. Anesthesia will prevent pain during the procedure, but it is inevitable that pain will be felt after any type of surgery. Risk factors of this type of surgery include infection, excessive bleeding, recurrence of cancer, ovarian cyst recurrence, and blood clots. The average time spent in the hospital will be about 5-7 days. For full recover from ovarian cyst removal surgery, expect at least 3-4 weeks recovery time.
