Ovarian Cysts Treatment REVEALED

The treatment of ovarian cysts will depend on the kind of symptoms that have been noted and the level of pain that the sufferer may be in. The different kinds of cysts are also a major factor in deciding how treatment will be done. The way that ovarian cysts are treated will typically be related to whether or not the sufferer is postmenopausal.
Women in pre-menopausal condition
It is possible for cysts to disappear by themselves after one or two months without any external action. For pre-menopausal women, surgery would not be the first decision in terms of a remedy. Sometimes and because of the cyst, an ovary may even twist around inside a woman’s body, which then blocks the blood supply or can cause the cyst to rupture in the ovary. These are emergency medical instances that usually require immediate surgical operation. Because of this, if a cyst appears benign under a sonogram and does not cause discomfort to the patient then observation for about two months is the management technique. If after treatment the cyst is still present and is also causing serious pain to the sufferer, then surgery will be necessary.
Fundamental surgery as a treatment of Ovarian Cysts
Initial surgery for an ovarian cyst might be the removal and the drainage of the cyst or it might include the complete removal of the ovary. Sometimes a cyst may be very big but can be removed leaving the surrounding tissues to heal with minimal extra surgery. However very big cysts can destroy the environment of the ovary that means that the entire organ needs to be taken out. The doctor may also suggest removing the whole ovary if your age and also the nature of your cyst mean that you are more menaced by ovarian cancer. If the doctor suspects cancer then it is essential that the cyst remains un-ruptured so as to avoid possible malignant cells entering the abdominal cavity. In this case and to avoid ovarian cancer the doctor will recommend the removal of the whole ovary.
What is the result on a woman of removal of an ovary
For women after the menopause, a surgical operation to handle an ovarian cyst will often involve both ovaries. Removal of both ovaries typically has little effect on the health of women, because the ovaries no longer produce progesterone or estrogen after menopause. A possible reduction in libido or sexual desire after the removal of ovaries has been suggested by some women after menopause. A treatment of small doses of testosterone can typically resolve this matter. A single ovary would be taken out if the size of the cyst allows this. If you have not reached menopause then there would be no significant effect on your fertility because an ovary alone can create enough hormones and eggs for you to become pregnant. However both ovaries may need to be removed if cancer is diagnosed.
Upon discovering any cancerous cells, the doctor may then recommend that both ovaries be removed. Of course, this possibility is discussed with the patient before starting surgery by the doctor. A quick test for women before menopause is done for cancer cells on the ovary to be removed.
Surgery with the use of Laparoscopy
Cystectomy is the name for the operation to take out a cyst from an ovary. A cyst is similar to a small liquid-filled container. A cyst is typically opened with a laparoscopic instrument to then aspirate the liquid before carefully removing the cyst itself. The patient can leave the hospital within 24 hours and is typically able to resume professional activity after fourteen days of rest. Treating ovarian cysts involves surgery done by laparoscopy. The surgery is accomplished by using a laparoscope, an instrument with a camera which is put into the abdomen by making tiny incisions at the pelvic bone. By doing surgery in this manner, patient recovery is faster and there are many less signs of surgery on the skin of the patient.
While surgery is done, surgeons take pains to leave as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible in place so as to preserve the creation of eggs. Surgery is a possible treatment for ovarian cysts, but does have some possible risks. In certain cases, if a cyst is too big the ovary must be taken out which means the destruction of all normal ovarian tissues. However a holistic program is available to you that addresses the underlying cause of ovarian cysts and which is also an effective, long-term solution without secondary effects.
