How can you get rid of a cyst? How to remove a cyst using folk remedies? Methods of surgical treatment

Ovarian cyst is a benign neoplasm of the ovary, which is a cavity with liquid contents. The cyst shell is thin, translucent, covered with a network of small blood vessels. The inside of the shell is lined with epithelium, which is capable of producing fluid, causing the size of the ovarian cyst to increase. The size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters in diameter. Most often, the cyst is small and does not show itself in any way, but in any case it needs timely diagnosis and treatment. Its danger is that without treatment it does not disappear or decrease on its own (with the exception of a functional cyst).

Ovarian cyst - Consequences and complications

1. Most dangerous consequence with an ovarian cyst - torsion of its legs. As a result, blood circulation in its membrane is disrupted and tissue necrosis occurs. Symptoms of this torsion: sharp abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, heat bodies.
2. This leg can also twist through the intestinal loop and tighten it, causing intestinal obstruction
3. An ovarian cyst can fester - the consequences are the same as with torsion of the leg: pain in the lower abdomen, high temperature.
4. Fast-growing cysts (especially endometrioid ones) threaten to rupture with effusion of contents and internal bleeding. The consequences of rupture are blood poisoning and death, if it is not provided on time health care.
5. Some cysts can degenerate into malignant ones.

All these complications entail the need for urgent surgery to remove the ovarian cyst and its consequences. During such emergency operations, a woman’s body suffers much more than during planned, low-traumatic operations.

Types of ovarian cysts

Follicular cyst ovary and corpus luteum cyst are included in functional formations. They disappear without treatment or with treatment hormonal drugs. The cause of such ovarian cysts is hormonal imbalance. Symptoms: disruption of the menstrual cycle, heavy menstruation.
Often a corpus luteum cyst is diagnosed on ultrasound examination in the early stages of pregnancy, as a rule, after 14-16 weeks it is subject to reverse development, because the developing placenta begins to perform the hormonal function of the corpus luteum.

Paraovarian cyst is formed from an appendage, which is located above the ovary and is a round capsule filled with clear liquid. This cyst grows asymptomatically until it reaches large sizes, then the functions of neighboring organs - the bladder, rectum - are disrupted, pain in the abdomen occurs, and the abdomen itself noticeably enlarges.

Endometrioid ovarian cysts- the reason for their occurrence is the presence of endometrium-like foci in a woman’s body.

Mucinous cysts filled with mucous contents (mucin is a thick mucus that is found in the body of every person). This formation can reach large sizes and grow at high speed.
Mucinous and endometrioid cysts can degenerate into malignant ovarian tumors.

In a serous cyst the inner surface of the capsule may be lined with serous epithelium and contain a clear, light yellow liquid.

In dermoid cysts instead of liquid, there is a mushy mass consisting of embryonic tissues (skin, hair, teeth, sometimes bones). This type of cyst grows very slowly, over years, but more often than others they cause complications that require urgent surgery.

Ovarian cyst - Causes of occurrence

The causes of some types of cysts are: hormonal disorders, others are laid down from birth, but they begin to grow only under the influence of some factors. An endometrioid cyst develops due to the fact that foci of endometriosis located in the ovary during menstruation also bleed, but there is no outlet for the blood - the blood is discharged into the cyst.

Treatment of ovarian cyst

What to do if you have a cyst on your ovary? Is it possible to avoid surgery and recover at home?
Functional cysts(corpus luteum and follicular) may go away on their own or after therapeutic treatment, in this case, folk remedies can also be used to treat ovarian cysts. Other types of cysts are deleted surgically .

Ovarian cysts caused by hormonal imbalance require restoration of hormonal levels. Treatment with hormonal drugs is carried out for 2-3 months; if this does not produce results, the cyst is surgically removed. The most common operation is laparoscopy, allowing you to remove only the cyst, minimally damaging healthy tissue.
If the cause of the cyst is inflammation, then treatment is carried out using anti-inflammatory drugs, immunomodulators, hormonal drugs, and sometimes antibiotics.

Treatment of ovarian cysts without surgery with honey tampons

During a medical examination, a young woman was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst. The doctor did not explain what it was or how to treat it, he only ordered me to come every three months for a medical examination. The cyst gradually grew, first becoming the size of a walnut, then the size of egg. Doctors began to insist on surgery, finally explaining the dangers of the advanced disease.
When the woman woke up after the operation, she discovered that her right ovary had been removed. But the doctor assured that she would still be able to give birth to a child.
Six months later, during a medical examination, she was informed that a cyst had also appeared on her left ovary, and the size of the cyst was already the size of a goose egg. They began to insist again on having surgery.
The woman was in despair and began to look for how to treat the cyst without surgery using folk remedies. I read in one newspaper that this disease can be treated with honey. I decided to use this method. If the honey was liquid, I poured it into a small outlet and put it in the freezer to harden.
The recipe is as follows: put 1 teaspoon of honey on a wide bandage, fold it in two layers, tie it with strong thread, leaving long ends. The tampon must be placed as deep as possible, otherwise the honey will leak out. So as not to stain with honey bed sheets, you need to use a pad and tight-fitting panties. To properly install the tampon, the woman used a student's pen, wiping it with alcohol. Use the blunt end to push the tampon inwards, holding the ends of the threads - this way you can adjust the depth of insertion. You should sleep on your side on the side on which the cyst has formed. The course of treatment is 10 daily procedures or 15 every other day.
In addition, in the morning on an empty stomach I drank 1 glass of warm milk with 2 tbsp diluted in it. spoons of honey. A month and a half later, I had an appointment with a gynecologist in another city, while on vacation. The doctor found only small postoperative adhesions. It was not possible to detect any cyst - it completely disappeared.
Now this woman carries out 10-day cyst prevention with honey every five years. She gave this recipe to her niece, who, with the help of honey tampons, was able to get rid of a small cyst in 2 weeks.

The pain began to subside. The woman continued treatment, but internally prepared for surgery. And when there were 3 days left, she asked for an ultrasound and said that she had been treating the cyst with herbs for 40 days, and maybe it was no longer there.
On an ultrasound, the doctor confirmed that there were no pathologies. The woman said that she had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst in 3 days. The doctor asked for the results of the first examination and was very surprised; he said that the operation was no longer needed, only that the examination needed to be repeated in 6 months. At subsequent ultrasounds, everything was also clear. So the woman managed to avoid surgery.

Treatment of ovarian cysts with dandelion root

A 16-year-old girl felt strong sharp pain lower abdomen. Mom made her do an ultrasound. It turned out that a cyst on the ovary had ruptured. I had to do emergency abdominal surgery. The ovaries and tubes were preserved. Then ultrasounds showed cysts more than once. Some went away on their own, others were removed surgically. At the age of 22, I had already had three operations to remove cysts.
Five years have passed, the disease has not gone away, but one woman told me how to treat ovarian cysts. Dandelion root helped. Here is how it was. Once again, an ultrasound revealed a large cyst measuring 8 x 6 cm. The girl took an infusion of dandelion root for only seven days, and after the end critical days The cyst has completely resolved. The doctor was very surprised and said that if such large cysts and dissolve, then in at least 2-3 cycles.
Now the girl goes to doctors and does ultrasounds much less often. Every month, 3 days before the start of menstruation, she drinks an infusion of dandelion root. Here's how she prepares it:
Grind dry dandelion root in a coffee grinder, 1 tbsp. l. powder, pour 200 ml of boiling water and leave for 10-20 minutes, strain. Drink 1/3 glass in the morning on an empty stomach and before bed. You don’t have to grind the root, but then you will have to simmer the broth in a water bath for 2-3 hours.
This method has saved her from surgery for 5 years, the cyst has disappeared forever. (review from Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle 2012, No. 21, p. 9)

Ovarian tumors involve the presence of cysts containing dense tissue. The cyst itself is a neoplasm, characterized by pronounced swelling. The cyst is located on the surface or inside the ovary.

What types of ovarian tumors are there?

Ovarian cysts and tumors are usually divided into three types:

Benign;

Border;

Malignant.

Benign cysts more common in young women. Women suffering from endometriosis and various menstrual irregularities are predisposed to the development of benign cysts.

Borderline ovarian tumors more common in women over 30 years of age. The tumor may consist of cancer cells, but its course is completely similar to that of benign tumors. It is not aggressive and does not metastasize.

Malignant ovarian tumors(ovarian cancer) most often develop in women after menopause.

How are ovarian tumors diagnosed?

Most often, a woman with an ovarian tumor visits a gynecologist with complaints of pain in the ovarian area. Sometimes these pains are periodic, sometimes constant. Also, about 30% of all cases of tumors are discovered completely by chance, during preventive ultrasound examinations.

What markers are there to diagnose ovarian cancer?

The marker most often used for diagnosing malignant ovarian tumors is CA-125. Particularly accurate diagnosis occurs when combined with ultrasound data.

Do I need to remove all identified cysts?

No, not all identified cysts require removal. Some of them are formed during the menstrual cycle and go away on their own after 1-2 menstrual cycles. Such cysts require only periodic observation by a gynecologist.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (a large number of small cysts) does not require treatment if the disease does not cause infertility or menstrual irregularities. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a fairly common anomaly that is present in 20% of completely healthy women.

What is the main purpose of surgery to remove a cyst?

Removal of a cyst is of great diagnostic interest (most often, a cyst is removed primarily for the purpose of accurate diagnosis), since only after removal is it possible to accurately determine whether the cyst is benign or malignant. All preoperative diagnostic methods are approximate and cannot answer the question of the benignity or malignancy of a neoplasm with 100% certainty.

Is it necessary to remove the ovary on which the cyst has formed?

This question can only be answered taking into account the nature of the cyst, the woman’s age and her condition, as well as based on other factors. If we talk about small benign cysts (endometrioma, adenocystoma, etc.), then the ovary can be saved by removing only the cyst with the capsule. However, when malignant neoplasms The entire ovary along with the cyst is removed to prevent further progression and spread of cancer.

Can a woman with one ovary removed get pregnant?

Yes, if the second ovary fully performs its functions, the menstrual cycle is maintained, then the chance of becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child for such a woman is very high, almost the same as for women with two ovaries.

How is surgery to remove a cyst performed?

If the cyst is small (less than 8 cm in diameter) and there is no suspicion of a malignant nature of the cyst, then the operation is performed laparoscopically (excellent cosmetic effect - an invisible scar of only 2 cm). If the cyst is large, then the operation is performed through a large incision.

Is it possible to cure an ovarian cyst without surgery?

Ovarian cysts can only be removed; no treatment gives the desired therapeutic effect. There is a misconception that hormonal drugs help the cyst to resolve, but in practice, taking hormones only worsens the patient’s condition and stimulates the progression of the disease. All this does not apply to functional cysts, which go away on their own without treatment 1-2 menstrual cycles after their appearance.

Which doctor decides to remove a cyst?

A referral to a consultation with an operating gynecologist is issued by your attending gynecologist. In the future, the decision on the need for an operation is made either by the operating gynecologist or by a council of several specialists (with the obligatory participation of the operating gynecologist).

We described in more detail about the treatment of ovarian cysts and tumors in the article

Occurs due to the accumulation of secretions in it.

Such formations are most often long time They do not manifest themselves in any way, but they are prone to complications.

The danger for women is precisely the complications, which in severe cases can even lead to death.

The essence of pathology

The term "cyst" is translated from Greek as "bubble".

These neoplasms can form in different organs human body, including the ovaries.

Such formations are usually diagnosed in women of childbearing age, and if the menstrual cycle is disrupted, the risk of developing a cyst increases.

cysts are rarely formed, however, this phenomenon can also occur.

As for sizes, they vary from a few mm to a couple of tens of cm in diameter.

Types of disease

According to the content and nature of formation, ovarian cysts are divided as follows::

Luteal and follicular cystic formations- This. They are formed directly from the tissue of the organ, and are associated with all the cyclic phenomena that occur in it.

A corpus luteum cyst is formed in the absence of regression of the corpus luteum, and a follicular cyst is formed in the absence of rupture of the follicle. The causes of the formation of these tumors are hormonal imbalances.

Functional cysts do not always have to undergo therapy. In some cases, they resolve on their own.

Dermoid cysts- These are congenital neoplasms that are formed during embryonic development. These neoplasms can contain all kinds of tissue inclusions, including cartilage tissue, hair, and teeth.

Paraovarian cyst formed from the supraovarian appendages. In this case, the ovaries themselves are not involved in the pathological process. These formations can be very large.

From endometrial particles are formed endometrial cysts. They contain menstrual blood that has not been removed from the body. Often these neoplasms occur against the background of endometriosis and other pathologies of the uterus.

Mucious cysts most often multi-chamber. Their contents are thick mucus, which is produced by the mucous membranes of the neoplasm.

Mucious and endometrioid cysts are more likely than others to transform into malignant formations.

Is treatment possible without surgery?

Medications

Oral contraceptives are most often prescribed:

• Janine;
• Marvelon;
• Diana-35;
• Logest;
• Claira.

Treatment with these drugs should be carried out according to a schedule; the drugs should be taken every day and at approximately the same time.

Progestins can also be prescribed, which are aimed at blocking the pituitary gland and replacing the natural hormone with artificial ones.

It can be:

• Dinazole;
• Mastadion;
• Danol;
• Cyclodinone;
• Norkolut.

In case of joining pathological process microbial flora, one dose of hormonal drugs will not be enough, so Terzhinan is prescribed.

This is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is actively used to treat diseases of the reproductive system.

If the functionality of the urinary system is impaired, diuretics are prescribed, for example, Vershpiron.

Because the cyst , anti-inflammatory therapy is also very important, so they are prescribed:

• Dystreptase;
• Wobenzym;
• Metronidazole;
• Indomethacin and others.

To make treatment more effective, medications are prescribed that help increase immunity, for example, Folic acid, vitamin E, ascorbic acid.

At pain Diclofenac, No-shpa, Diclovit and others are prescribed.

ethnoscience

can only be used after consulting a doctor.

The following recipes have positive reviews:

1. 1 tablespoon is poured into a glass of boiling water and kept in a water bath for about 20 minutes. Take a tablespoon 5 times a day. The treatment regimen is 24 days of taking the drug, a break of 4 days. The course of treatment is six months.
2. Elecampane. You need to take the crushed root in an amount of 100 grams, add 3 liters of water, add a tablespoon of yeast and the same amount of honey. Infuse under a closed lid for 2 weeks. Then drink half a glass 3 times a day.
3. Honey. This product is used to prepare tampons. Apply a little onto a sterile bandage natural honey, tie with clean thread, and the ends should be left long so that it is convenient to remove the tampon. You need to insert the tampon as deeply as possible and make sure that the honey does not leak out. It is better to leave it in the vagina overnight.
4. Celandine. You will need the same amount of plant juice and prepared propolis tincture. Mix thoroughly and take a teaspoon on an empty stomach.
5. Burdock. Fresh leaves of asthenia are crushed in a meat grinder, the juice is squeezed out, which is taken in a teaspoon 3 times a day.
6. Golden mustache. 30 shoots of the plant are crushed and filled with a bottle of vodka. Leave in the dark for 2 weeks, then filter and drink the first 10 drops 2 times a day. You can dilute the product in 30 ml of water. Every day you need to increase the amount of product by 1 drop. When 35 drops are drunk at one time, it is necessary to reduce the dosage daily by 1 drop per day until there are 10 drops again. After this, a break is taken for 10 days, and the course of treatment is repeated.

• peony tincture;
• linseed oil;
• infusion of white acacia;
• wormwood and other medicinal plants that help relieve inflammatory processes and have an antitumor effect.

Physiotherapy for illness

In order to enhance the effect of medications, physiotherapeutic treatment is prescribed, it is carried out in the following ways:

• SMT therapy;
• electrophoresis;
• ultraphonoresis.

These procedures allow:

• normalize the functionality of the ovaries;
• dock inflammatory processes;
• improve the condition of nerve endings;
• prevent the formation of adhesions;
• reduce the likelihood of relapse;
• improves blood circulation and metabolic processes;
• eliminate pain.

Whether it is necessary to remove an ovarian cyst is a serious question. Surgical removal Ovarian cysts are usually prescribed when therapeutic and drug treatment is impossible or ineffective, or a cancerous process is suspected. Only a specialist can decide whether to remove an ovarian cyst or not.

If after 3–4 menstrual cycles or under the influence of medications no positive changes in the resorption of the node are observed, the ovarian cyst is removed unless there are contraindications.

Tactics surgical treatment defined:

• type of neoplasm, its size;
• stage of the disease and degree of progression;
• oncological prognosis;
• associated pathologies.

How is the operation performed? The basic principle for any surgical method consists of the most careful handling of the ovary to preserve its functioning.

Methods of surgical treatment

What method should be used to remove a tumor-like node?

Several methods are used to remove a cyst:

1. This is the most painless method for the patient.
2. Cyst puncture. It is used only when the formation is small and there are no signs of inflammation or cancer. Through the abdominal wall under local anesthesia a nozzle is inserted, with which the wall of the capsule is pierced and the contents are removed from the cavity, after which sclerosis occurs (collapse of the walls).
3. Abdominal surgery or laparotomy. Open view surgical intervention with a deep incision in the abdominal wall (up to 10 - 15 centimeters), carried out under general anesthesia.

Laparotomy of the cyst

Although among surgical methods Laparoscopy is more often used; there are a number of justified indications for which abdominal surgery to remove an ovarian cyst is prescribed. In case of a complicated process, it is not always possible to carry out the required amount of treatment using laparoscopy.

Emergency indications for surgery are the following urgent cases:

• perforation (rupture) of the cyst capsule with leakage of internal exudate into the abdominal cavity;
• suppuration of the cyst tissue with further penetration of pus into adjacent organs;
• twisting of the leg-ligament, which leads to the knot suppurating;
• hemorrhage into the peritoneum.

Such cases pose a direct threat to life, as they can quickly lead to blood poisoning, shock, massive bleeding and an irreversible coma.

Indications for routine removal of an ovarian cyst by laparotomy:

• large neoplasm over 80 – 100 mm;
• active growth in a short time;
• development of a tumor-like node in the deep tissues of the gonad;
• adhesions in the area of ​​the reproductive organs;
• suspicion of a cancer process or a confirmed diagnosis of oncology.

Advantages of laparotomy

Excision of a cyst on the ovary by abdominal surgery has a number of significant advantages:

1. Provides wider access to all pelvic organs.
2. Allows for emergency removal of a node when emergency conditions with examination of neighboring organs, and take action if other pathologies are detected.
3. Provides an opportunity for a detailed study of the reproductive organs, tissue, lymph nodes, and areas with probable cancerous changes.
4. Provides the possibility of enucleation of an ovarian cyst (excision of the formation without opening the capsule), which eliminates the entry of pus or exudate into the peritoneal cavity and associated complications.
5. Allows for surgical intervention of any volume and complexity, which is especially important for malignant changes, when it is impossible to determine the degree of development of the process before surgery. At any time, you can expand the surgical field for manipulation and remove the uterus and appendages. In this case, complete excision of the affected organs takes place without the risk of heavy bleeding.
6. It is characterized by technical simplicity and does not require complex tools and equipment.

Contraindications

Laparotomy of an ovarian cyst in women has certain contraindications in which it can be dangerous. These include:

• abnormally low blood clotting (hemophilia) and blood diseases;
• persistent hypertension;
• conditions with a high risk of cerebral hemorrhage, heart attack;
• acute infections respiratory tract, severe asthma;
• intolerance to anesthetics required for general anesthesia.

Preparation for laparotomy

Before surgery, the following studies must be performed:

• blood test for group, general and biochemical research, Rh factor;
• general and special urine analysis for kidney diseases;
• coagulogram or determination of blood clotting (INR, PTI);
• tests for sexually transmitted infections, HIV.

5 - 7 days before surgery, limit foods that provoke intestinal gas formation and allergies: fatty meats and smoked foods, carbonated drinks, beer, fruits, cabbage, legumes, black bread, spices, sweets made from flour and butter, milk.

The day before surgery:

1. It is necessary to empty the intestines using laxatives and an enema. How less space occupy the intestinal loops, the more volume remains for surgical procedures.
2. Stop eating 14 hours before surgery. A light dinner is allowed until 18:00, you can drink tea and water until 22:00.
3. On the day of the operation, do not eat breakfast or drink, so that during anesthesia a gag reflex does not occur and the airways are not blocked by stomach contents.

Carrying out laparotomy

How is the operation to remove a cyst performed? First, the skin is treated with antiseptics. The surgeon makes a cavity incision, for which two methods are used:

1. The incision is inferomedian, which is made vertically along the line between the pubic bone and the navel area.
2. Laparotomy according to Pfannenstiel. This is the main method in gynecology, in which a transverse incision is made along the fold of skin in the lower abdomen above the pubis. After healing, the scar will be invisible under the fold.

Then the surgeon opens the peritoneum layer by layer.

During laparotomy, the tumor can be removed by excision or enucleation:

1. Excision is more often used for several lesions, a deep-lying node, or fusion of the cyst with the gonad. Through the incision, the gonad is pulled out from the peritoneum. The area of ​​the ovary where the cyst has developed is excised with a “wedge” and carefully sutured.
2. Enucleation of an ovarian cyst is carried out only when the benign nature of the formation is confirmed, since with this method the surrounding tissues are not affected. The process has another name – cyst desquamation. The entire capsule is removed, while care is taken to ensure that the cyst does not open and that the exudate does not leak out. Sometimes, to prevent rupture of the capsule walls, pus or exudate is drawn out of it.

If bleeding begins during surgical procedures, the vessel is doped (clamped), then bandaged or cauterized with high-frequency current (diathermocoagulation).

During laparotomy, the surrounding tissues are examined in order to:

• detecting the growth of a node into the fallopian tubes, gonads, intestines and bladder tissue;
• identifying possible cancer foci and excluding metastases.

In order to determine the nature of the tumor as quickly as possible, a biopsy of the ovarian cyst is necessary, that is, excision of a fragment of the affected tissue, and subsequent histological examination. If the formation turns out to be malignant, treatment is immediately prescribed.

Sometimes, if the doctor is concerned about the type of tissue, a biopsy and oncology analysis (histological examination) are done urgently, right during the operation.

If laparotomy is performed when there is a rupture of the cavity, a purulent process, or hemorrhage, then for 2–3 days the doctor will have to install drainage tubes so that all the fluid with pus and blood is removed from the peritoneal cavity.

How long does the surgical procedure take? The operation is classified as simple and lasts about 45 – 60 minutes.

On what day of the cycle should the operation be performed? To avoid increased bleeding, the node on the gonad should be removed 5–7 days after menstruation.

Types of laparotomy and extent of surgery

How is an ovarian cyst removed and what methods are used? When removing cystic nodes, several surgical techniques are used, which differ in the depth of surgical intervention and the volume of tissue removed.

Which surgical technique the surgeon will choose is determined by the type, size, location, degree of damage to the gonad, the nature of the nodule and the likelihood of cancerous degeneration.

Surgical techniques:

A qualified specialist is always concerned with the question of how to remove a cyst on an ovary, so as to affect as little tissue as possible and not have to cut out the ovary.

Possible complications

Possible consequences of removing an ovarian cyst:

• severe pain in the suture area;
• formation of adhesions;
• postoperative bleeding;
• inflammation of tissue in the suture area as a result of infection;
• organ damage due to surgeon errors.

Recovery after laparotomy of an ovarian cyst

After removal of the ovarian cyst by laparotomy, the patient will have to stay in the hospital for 7 to 10 days under the supervision of specialists.

Within 30 – 60 days after suture removal:

• Any physical exertion and lifting weights exceeding 1 kg are strictly prohibited;
• taking a bath, visiting a bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool;
• It is necessary to abstain from sexual activity after removal of an ovarian cyst for 2 months.

During this period, it is absolutely necessary to take vitamins. Depending on the type of cyst, as prescribed by the doctor, continue treatment with hormonal drugs and immunomodulators.

Pregnancy after cyst laparotomy

If only a cyst on the ovary or only one sex gland was removed, then a healthy ovary is capable of producing hormones and eggs. Therefore, the probability of conception after surgery for an ovarian cyst remains very high. Reproductive function will finally stabilize after at least 2 to 5 months have passed.

But within six months, conception is undesirable, since incomplete restoration of ovarian function can lead to miscarriage. early or tissue rupture in the suture area due to an enlarged uterus. Therefore, it is advisable to plan a pregnancy no earlier than five to six months after laparotomy of the ovarian cyst.

Without surgery are disclosed in our separate work.

An ovarian cyst is a benign, non-tumor formation that requires surgical treatment. Most effective method surgical intervention in this case will be laparoscopy - a delicate operation accompanied by minimal trauma to the abdominal cavity and allowing it not to affect the functionality of the ovary.

Laparoscopy is used to treat follicular neoplasms of the corpus luteum. In the vast majority of cases, doctors manage to preserve the organ and not affect its functionality: after removing the cyst, women retain the ability to conceive and bear a fetus.

Indications

One of the most common diseases of modern gynecology is the endometrioid ovarian cyst (a hollow formation measuring from 1.5 to 10 cm, inside which there is old coagulated brown blood) - requires medical diagnosis and surgical treatment. Accordingly, the sooner a woman turns to a specialist, the less damage to the body, in particular, reproductive function, will be applied.

Women with a genetic predisposition to follicular formations should undergo a routine examination by a specialist. The cyst begins its development when menstrual blood enters the pelvic cavity through the tubes: cells of the inner surface of the uterus (endometrium) attach to various bodies, including the ovaries, where they develop under the influence of progesterone and estrogen, causing regular inflammatory processes. Biochemical processes that occur during inflammation often lead to infertility.

An examination may be necessary if you have the following symptoms:

• pelvic pain before and during menstruation;
• significant discomfort during sexual intercourse;
• pain when urinating.

Since the disease is often asymptomatic, and the cyst may not bother you for many years, a routine examination by a gynecologist will help eliminate the risk of its development.

In most cases, an ovarian cyst is removed routinely, but endometriotic and other formations are corpus luteum have a risk of rupture of the cyst capsule or malnutrition. If such factors are present, surgery is prescribed on an emergency basis and may be accompanied by removal of the appendage (tube and ovary on the affected side).

List of diseases

Removal of an ovarian cyst is effective in combating the following diseases:

• formation in the ovary (follicular, tumor), which cannot be regressed within three months (on its own or under the influence of hormonal agents);
• formations that appeared during menopause;
• “twisted” cyst pedicle; rupture of the follicle, suppuration, hemorrhage;
• suspicion of malignant formation in ovarian tissue.

Preparation

Before an operation to remove an ovarian cyst is scheduled, the gynecologist conducts a diagnosis, which includes the following steps:

• taking anamnesis;
• manual examination;
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs, performed in at least two menstrual cycles;
• colposcopy;
• fluorography;
• flora research;
• blood tests - biochemical, clinical, histological (ROMA index, CA-125), to determine the Rh factor, blood type and coagulability, for HIV and RW;
• MRI of the pelvic organs (may be required for a more accurate diagnosis).

One of the contraindications to laparoscopy may be excess weight, so before the operation the doctor may prescribe a special diet and set of exercises to normalize body weight.

Immediately before the operation, you need to take a bath and remove hair from the abdomen and external genitalia. The last meal is until 19:00, drinking is at 22:00. Before the operation, it is necessary to cleanse the intestines with an enema - this will greatly simplify the surgical procedure and increase the range of action of laparoscopy instruments and the viewing radius.

How does the procedure work?

• diagnostic laparoscopy (to confirm the diagnosis);
• therapeutic laparoscopy (to eliminate the cyst);
• control laparoscopy (to check the condition of the organ after treatment).

Laparoscopy of a cyst with preservation of the ovary:

• the operation is performed under general anesthesia;
• for greater convenience, it is inserted into the abdominal cavity carbon dioxide, which raises the wall in such a way as to give the doctor maximum visibility of the organs;
• during laparoscopy on the skin of the abdomen (anterior abdominal wall) small incisions are made, no more than 1.5 cm in size (up to 4 incisions);
• through them, trocars are inserted into the walls of the cavity to install the camera and instruments;
• the cyst follicle is isolated within healthy tissues, performing thorough hemostasis of the formation bed, then several internal sutures subject to resorption are applied to the cyst site;
• the cyst is placed in a plastic container and removed through one of the incisions, then transferred for histological examination to the laboratory.

Ovarian resection

If a tumor, polycystic disease or cancer is found on the ovary, ovarian resection is prescribed. Surgery is prescribed only as a last resort, and doctors often try to use minimally invasive methods to treat ovarian cysts.

Postoperative period

On the first day after surgery, the doctor prescribes painkillers. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe an additional course of antibiotics. You are allowed to get out of bed 3-5 hours after laparoscopy. Discharge from the hospital occurs within two days in the absence of complications. Suture removal is scheduled 6-7 days after surgery.
