Patient's question:
Underwent an open surgery for an ovarian cyst, had a 230mmX190mm cyst removed from the left ovary, and it has been over 20 days now. However, every time I lie on my side, I always feel a slight pain in my lower left abdomen, as if it's empty. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts with a diameter of 3 centimeters or less should be understood as requiring surgery to completely remove the risk of "bomb" rupture. At this time, cyst unroofing surgery is often used to maximize the preservation of normal ovarian tissue. Traditional laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery can both achieve the treatment goal.Postoperative advice: oral medication is still needed to consolidate the therapeutic effect, which is of great significance in preventing the recurrence of ovarian cysts. In addition to medication for treating ovarian cysts, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment results.
