Ovarian cystectomy sequelae

The ovaries are the most important reproductive organs in every woman's body. Except for pregnancy and lactation, the ovaries of women of childbearing age undergo cyclical changes and release eggs once a month. Improper maintenance can cause various diseases, and ovarian cysts are one of the common gynecological diseases. After the removal of ovarian cysts, it often causes disorders in the hormone levels and endocrine system of women, and also causes damage to the nervous system. Women also have a very heavy psychological burden

Question 1

Although there are currently minimally invasive surgeries for ovarian cysts, which result in small wounds and quick recovery, patients will inevitably be nervous and have various psychological pressures before the operation. Let us now understand what to pay attention to before ovarian surgery, and family members should help patients overcome difficulties.

Generally, the preparations before ovarian cyst surgery are divided into two types: psychological preparation and preoperative preparation.

1. In terms of preoperative preparation: Before surgery, the doctor should confirm the size and nature of the ovarian cyst and rule out malignant lesions. Ask patients with ovarian cysts in detail whether they have a history of allergies, including whether they can drink alcohol. In addition, patients who are too nervous can be given sedatives 30 minutes before surgery. Measure body temperature, empty bladder, and perform routine disinfection.

2. In terms of psychological preparation: The hospital should communicate and talk with the patients to relieve their nervous emotions before the operation. At the same time, the hospital should introduce the treatment methods and effects, patiently explain the basic knowledge of the disease, and the precautions before and after the operation to enhance the patients' confidence, eliminate their anxiety, and enable them to actively cooperate with treatment and care.

Ovarian cyst surgery

① After the diagnosis of ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is confirmed, emergency surgery is required. First, intramuscular injection of analgesics, such as pethidine, is performed. Regardless of the patient's age, it is appropriate to perform an oophorectomy on the affected side.

② If an ovarian cyst ruptures, laparotomy should be performed as soon as possible, because the contents of the cyst overflow into the abdominal cavity, whether benign or malignant, there is the possibility of implantation, so the abdominal cavity and incision should be thoroughly lavaged.

③ If ovarian cysts are complicated by infection and anti-infection drugs are used for a period of time but the body moisture does not decrease or the local symptoms become more severe, laparotomy should be performed to remove the tumor to eliminate the infection focus, and the symptoms can often subside quickly.

④ Ovarian cysts are extensively adhered to the peritoneum, which is often seen in patients with giant ovarian cysts misdiagnosed as massive ascites, who have undergone repeated abdominal punctures to drain fluid, or who have ovarian cyst infection.
