An ovarian cyst is a formation that is filled with fluid. As a rule, it is not dangerous for a woman's he alth, because it often disappears after several menstrual cycles. However, there are cases (the formation began to bleed, ruptured, twisted or began to put pressure on neighboring organs) when an abdominal 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 can be:
1. Follicular. Such an education is considered not life-threatening and resolves itself in a few cycles (menstrual). The cyst grows to a maximum of four centimeters, but when it ruptures, there is a sharp pain in the abdomen. Therefore, observation by a doctor must be carried out.
2. Yellow cyst. 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 follicularcyst. 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 twists, the patient is urgently prescribed abdominal surgery
Ovarian cysts of small size, as a rule, are not subject to serious surgical intervention. However, if the size of the formation has become more than ten centimeters, then an abdominal operation is simply necessary. Today there is a more sophisticated and improved surgical method called laparoscopy. Only a few minor dots remain on the woman's body after the operation. Therefore, this method is sparing. These dots will 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.
Abdominal surgery is called a laparotomy by doctors and is an incision on the abdominal wall (anterior) followed by the operation itself. As statistics show, in 98% of cases, during a laparotomy, a cyst is removed simultaneously with the ovary. Of course, abdominal surgery implies the formation of an adhesive process, which leads to further infertility. This is the main disadvantage of this method of surgical intervention.
A cavitary 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 women's problems. Depending on the specific complaints of the patient, the doctor selects the type of surgical intervention. If a woman is still menstruating at the time of illness, then abdominal surgery will in any case lead to their stop.
Because this is a major operation, the doctor may suggest that the woman try other treatment options first. In addition, the patient may refuse the operation altogether. It should only be understood that in some cases (unbearable pain, regular bleeding, cancer), abdominal surgery is the only way to recovery.
