Patient's question:
1. Ovarian cyst, 3.12.1, is it for surgery? What are the surgical options? How long after surgery can sexual activity be resumed? Is it done after menstruation is clean?2. 2nd degree cervical erosion, should the ovarian cyst surgery be done first or is it better to have microwave treatment for the erosion first? Uterus has not been delivered.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The only treatment for benign ovarian tumors is surgical removal. For cysts with a diameter of less than 5 to 6 cm, observation for 3 to 6 months is recommended. If the cyst continues to grow, or if the tumor has a diameter of less than 5 cm but is solid, surgical removal should be performed. For children and young, childless patients, the affected ovary or adnexa is often removed. If both ovaries are affected by benign tumors, the doctor may consider an ovarian cystectomy to preserve as much ovarian tissue as possible, thereby maintaining menstrual and reproductive functions. Laparoscopic surgery involves small abdominal incisions and a faster recovery.Indications for Ovarian Cyst Surgery:
Ovarian benign tumors requiring preservation of fertility.
Surgical Steps:
1. For adhesive tumors, blunt and sharp dissection is used to separate the adhesions, freeing the tumor to avoid rupture.
2. A circular incision is made along the normal tissue at the ovarian hilum, and the cyst is bluntly dissected out.
3. The wound is sutured with fine silk or catgut, followed by re-suturing the ovarian margins.
