Question 1

does swelling cause weight gain after laparascopic surgery/ovary removal? the incision was made bigger to remove the cyst. 2 weeks and still swelled.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Abdominal swelling can be normal up to 4-6 weeks after surgery due to the inflammation and healing from the inside where surgery was done as well as because of the incision healing. Just make sure the wound looks ok and is not swollen because of an infection, where it will be red, very tender and may even have drainage.  If this is the case, then you should see your surgeon.

Question 2

is there any way to control the excessive oil production that is causing my acne and my excessive weight gain? i am perimenopausal with one ovary.

Accepted Answer

Oily skin: I would go to a Dermatologist and see what they suggest. I assume you have been seen by an endocrinologist. If not would ask about Cushing's.

Question 3

i had an polycystic ovarian cyst so i had an surgery 2 years back so my one ovary and fallopian tube is removed..i gained weight.is there any risk in future..can any problem will occur in future?

Accepted Answer

Future symptoms : If you experienced ovarian torsion due to a large cyst it may occur in the remaining ovary. The best you can do is be aware of the symptoms and present immediately for care if they occur so you can get the ultrasound +/- CT scan if needed. ACOG found weight loss can help you maintain menstrual regularity and avoid diabetes in future. Follow closely with MD to avoid metabolic complications.

Question 4

reoccurring pain in one spot in lower mid left stomach when full.+weight gain+distended belly. no ovary or kidney problems, per dr. what cud this be?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: Gi symptoms are the most likely, and constipation is very common, and can frequently present as left-sided abdominal pain.  Use a stool softener, fiber supplement, and increase your water intake.

Question 5

after removal of one ovary and  the tube, it has been 3 months and i still have not had my first period back.  is that normal?

Accepted Answer

No: No, that is not normal. Contact your GYN MD surgeon and find out why the period is absent.

Question 6

is it normal to have breast swelling and tenderness after the removal of only one ovary and tube?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. The one ovary left is still producing hormone on a cycle and you could still have peri menstrual symptoms monthly

how does one get ovarian cancer after removal of ovaries?

Accepted Answer

Tissue cell migratio: When ovaries have been removed you may have stray cells inorgans& other parts of body, and it is possible to get cancer usually in peritonium.So it is possible even after removal of ovaries.

Question 9

i am one month after a cystectemy and ovary removal why is my period so heavy and painful?

Accepted Answer

Ovary/uterus: The mentrual cycle is a shedding of the uterine lining and is hormonally induced. Have your GYN check your female hormone levels and thyroid function.
