Ovaries are indeed important sexes glands that lie to the right and the left of the uterus with involving role in female child birth. Pregnancy and good health require them to take adequate care of their bodies as they wait for conception. However, ovarian cysts cause change in many cases mensuration where women can have heavy and lengthy periods of their menstrual period. Depending on their size and location they may also affect ovulation leading to problems in the conception and pregnancy, the patient may be unable to conceive or she may be pregnant. At Estevitalya, we perform laparoscopic surgery to remove these cysts on the ovary and get the patients back into good health.

What Are Ovarian Cysts?

Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid that forms on the ovaries or in them. These cysts are common due to hormonal disturbances in the follicle, which is supposed to release an egg. Most ovarian cysts are benign and do not cause any problems to the affected person, but they may cause some discomfort and other major health complications at times. The available therapies are pharmacological therapy, checkups, and laparoscopic surgery involving cyst removal.

Causes of Ovarian Cysts

It is not clear exactly what causes ovarian cysts. In some cases, if there is a family history of ovary cysts, there is some suspicion of genetic factors. Other cause include but not limited to aging, hormonal fluctuations of the female sex hormones and hormonal drug therapy.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts commonly are asymptomatic during their development, which can complicate the process of diagnosing them. The majority of women come to know they have cysts during regular checkups by the gynaecologist. In some cases, cysts can cause noticeable symptoms, including:

Irregular periods-early or late menstrual cycle
Menstrual cramps that are far worse than usual
Abnormal uterine discharge
Problems in conceiving or infertility
Sharp pains during intercourse
Pelvic or lower abdominal tenderness or pain
Abnormal bleeding or spotting
These symptoms can vary greatly from person to person in severity and frequency. It is very difficult to diagnose ovarian cysts based on symptoms only, as most of these signs occur with other pathological conditions of the gynecological system. Hence, females experiencing such symptoms must seek help from the concerned specialist – an obstetrician-gynaecologist – immediately.

How Are Ovarian Cysts Diagnosed?

It is not so easy to single out an ovarian cyst from other conditions of a similar character. The symptoms are also very general, including irregular menses, painful menstruation, or failure to conceive. Only a thorough examination by a gynaecologist can determine this condition; further treatment will be considered along with the line of the examination conducted by him.

Treatment for Ovarian Cysts

The treatment of ovarian cysts depends on the different circumstances that surround each case. Many can be treated through simple check-ups with medication. However, severe symptoms or infertility would require treatment as drastic as a laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery. It is thus called a laparoscopic cystectomy.

Ovarian Cyst Surgery-Laparoscopic

Laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal surgery is one of the modern surgical techniques. These types of surgery have enabled patients with the advantage of recovery in a very short time, with minimum risks of infection, as compared to other traditional open surgeries. A laparoscope, consisting of a fitted camera inside, can enable the doctor to view the ovaries while performing the surgery.

How Is Laparoscopic Ovarian Cyst Surgery Performed?

It is tailored to the patient’s needs according to specific symptoms and cystic characteristics. It may be done with the use of general anaesthesia and the need for tiny abdominal cuts, often less than one centimetre in length. The laparoscope provides immediate, sharp views of the ovaries, which enable the surgeon to do the removal of cysts without having larger incisions.
Duration of the Procedure
Depending on the complexity of the case, laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst removal generally takes an hour or two. This is an exact estimate that your physician will give during the pre-operative consultation.

Recovery After Surgery

After the process, according to their condition, they stay in the hospital for one or two days for observation. The recovery is much faster than that of conventional surgery. Advice given to the patients is to avoid heavy work in public areas, such as pools or baths, and rest properly. Although complete recovery may take about four weeks, most of the patients start living a normal life within a week or two.

Antalya Cost of Laparoscopic Surgery for Ovarian Cysts
Surgery for an ovarian cyst using the laparoscope is based on an individual case, and it can be treated according to the size of the cyst. Since the treatment programs may be specific to each case, the cost covers different patient aspects.
