Patient's question:
My mother recently went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination due to company arrangements. The doctor's report stated that she has an ovarian cyst and needs to undergo an ovarian cyst surgery. I would like to ask what are the disadvantages of ovarian cyst surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, the disadvantages of laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian cysts are mainly that the ovaries are too large and difficult to remove, and the cysts are prone to rupture. After rupture, it is difficult to apply medication. If the cyst is too large, it requires an open surgery to remove it. Otherwise, laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian cysts will not alleviate the condition. It is also important to note that ovarian cysts need to be tested for tumor markers to rule out malignancy. Pay close attention to monitoring CA125, which may be lower than normal.
