Question 1

Accepted Answer

Unrelated: Your current ache is not likely to be related to the ovarian cyst from long ago. It would be prudent to consult your doctor.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

is spotting normal after ovarian cyst removal ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Spotting is normal and common after surgery to remove an ovarian cyst.  During the surgery usually an instrument is placed on the cervix so the uterus can be moved to get to the cyst, and that can cause a few days of light bleeding.  Occasionally the stress of surgery can cause irregular bleeding.

Question 3

how common is weight loss after ovarian cyst removal?

Accepted Answer

Unrelated : There is no relationship between weight loss, weight gain and having an ovarian cyst or having a cyst removal. If you have had a removal and then lost weight the weight loss is a consequence of less caloric intake or increase in calorie burning.

Question 4

how long do i have to wait to have sex after an ovarian cyst removal?

Accepted Answer

Not long: I tell most patients, as soon as they feel like it.  Usually 7-14 days or so.  Depends though on your surgery type and would go on the recommendations of your physician.

Question 5

is ovarian cyst removal surgery an inpatient or an outpatient procedure?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: Depending on the size of the ovarian cyst, if removed laparoscopically then an outpatient procedure should be planned.

Question 6

is ovarian cyst removal surgery an inpatient or outpatient procedure now?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cysts: Most ovarian cysts can be removed laparoscopically which is an outpatient procedure. It is nowadays unusual to have to be inpatient for this. This obviously depends on the expertise of your surgeon. Advanced gynecological laparoscopists rarely have to perform a laparotomy (open surgery) for ovarian cyst removal. Davinci robot-assistance may facilitate a minimally invasive approach.

Question 7

ovarian cyst removal  im 20 years old and after my surgery it was hard for me to breath the next day why ?

Accepted Answer

Possibilities...: Smoking and surgery are a bad mix and can certainly cause breathing problems. Atelectasis is a term used to describe the temporary collapse of small areas in the lungs seen after general anesthesia & abdominal surgery; this will clear up on its own. If your surgery was laparoscopic, the distention of the abdomen w/co2 can put pressure on the diaphragm & cause shortness of breath.

Question 8

after bilateral laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal, menstrual cycles have gone from 32 days to 25. what does this mean? i 'm 30 years old.

Accepted Answer

Maybe Bad news: The thing that i would be worried about most is that the doctor removed too much normal ovarian tissue and took out a lot of your eggs. when you remove a cyst in someone who may want children in the future, you must fully separate the cyst from the normal tissue around it or it can send someone into menopause or harm their ovaries. would see a specialist right away ti get tested

Question 9

i am 8 months post ovarian cyst removal surgery. 3 months post-surgery, i noticed my weight increase by 15 pounds in 5 months time. plan of action?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Weight loss is a common and challenging issue. It is not likely related to surgery 8 months ago. Consider signing up for a Healthtap weight loss care plan. You can schedule a virtual visit with a Healthtap  primary care doctor for a nutritional and exercise evaluation and they can help coach you through your weight loss efforts.

Question 10

after successful ovarian cyst removal operation my weight increase upto 12kg can u give me reason for this problem & reduce my wieght through cycling?

Accepted Answer

No Relation: Surgery  and or cyst removal should not affect your weight at all. It is possible as a result of surgery you are less active. But would definitely see your doctor since weight loss should not result from surgery.
