An ovarian cyst is a kind of formation that is filled with fluid. As a rule, it is not dangerous for a woman’s health, because it often disappears after several menstrual cycles. However, there are cases (the formation began to bleed, torn, twisted, or began to put pressure on neighboring organs), when a cavity operation to remove an ovarian cyst is simply necessary .
This education is of a different nature. It all depends on what type of cyst you have. She may be:
1. Follicular. Such an education is considered not life-threatening and resolves itself in several cycles (menstrual). The cyst grows up to a maximum of four centimeters, but a sharp abdominal pain manifests itself upon rupture. Therefore, observation by a doctor must be carried out.
2. Cyst of the corpus luteum. It can occur after ovulation on only one ovary, and its development is asymptomatic for a woman.
3. The cyst is hemorrhagic. It develops due to hemorrhage in the
follicular cyst. As a rule, such a formation is accompanied by acute pain in the abdomen.
4. Dermoid. It grows more than ten centimeters and is already considered a real tumor (benign). If inflammation develops or it is twisted, the patient is urgently prescribed abdominal surgery
Ovarian cysts of small sizes, as a rule, are not subject to serious surgical intervention. However, if the size of the formation has become more than ten centimeters, then abdominal surgery is simply necessary. Today, there is a more refined and improved surgical method called laparoscopy. After the operation, only a few minor points remain on the woman’s body. Therefore, this method is gentle. These dots soon heal completely, not even a trace remains. This method is very common, because recovery and recovery is much faster than after an ordinary operation.
The abdominal operation is called by doctors a laparotomy and is an incision on the abdominal wall (anterior) followed by the operation itself. According to statistics, in 98% of cases during a laparotomy, a cyst is removed simultaneously with the ovary. Of course, abdominal surgery involves the formation of an adhesion process, which leads to further infertility. This is the main disadvantage of this method of surgical intervention.
A cavity operation to remove the uterus is also practiced, which is referred to by doctors as a hysterectomy. Indications for its implementation are associated with the treatment of various female problems. Depending on the patient's specific complaints, the doctor selects the type of surgical intervention. If a woman still has menstruation at the time of the disease, then abdominal surgery in any case will lead to their stop.
Since this is a serious operation, the doctor may suggest that the woman first try other treatment options. In addition, the patient may completely refuse the operation. It should only be understood that in some cases (unbearable pain, regular bleeding, with cancer), abdominal surgery is the only way to recovery.
