After surgery, you need to rest for 2 weeks. Rest appropriately in bed, avoid heavy physical labor, eat more nutritious foods, avoid cold drinks, and avoid spicy foods for half a month. Always maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area. Wash with warm water 1 to 2 times a day, and change sanitary pads frequently. Do not sit in a bath for 2 weeks or until vaginal bleeding has stopped. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for 1 month. If you experience fever, abdominal pain, or abnormal odor in vaginal discharge, seek follow-up promptly.After an ovarian cyst surgery, regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor the regularity of menstruation, the amount, color, and abdominal pain of menstrual periods, and other related conditions.
