Patient's question:
I had surgery for a right ovarian cyst. 13 days after the ovarian cyst surgery, the incision on my abdomen is itchy, and there's also some pain. Recently, I've been feeling pain, and sometimes it feels like my lower back is also hurting. Could you please tell me what could be causing the slight pain after ovarian cyst surgery?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are common benign cysts in gynecology. If the cyst is large, surgical treatment is recommended, and a period of recovery is needed after the surgery. Currently, if the pain is mild, avoid overexertion and can be temporarily observed. If there is significant pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a follow-up check on the recovery of the uterine appendages. After the surgery, the body is weak, so it is best to rest in bed and eat more foods that boost qi and nourish blood. During the postoperative recovery period, ensure adequate nutritional needs and avoid spicy or overly greasy foods. Full recovery may take about a month.
