Since most ovarian cysts are
functional and benign, they are not necessarily removed.
But even then, the ovary cyst
removal becomes a
necessity in certain cases. For instance, hemorrhagic or
blood cysts are often surgically removed as they can
rupture and spill their contents. Same is the case with
endometroid cysts
that
mostly contains stale blood and are likely to burst,
creating many complications.
Moreover, abnormally large
cysts also come under the knife as they tend to create
much discomfort to the lady who has to carry that
additional load all the while.
Primarily, there are two common
surgical cyst removal
procedures that are usually followed by most surgeons -
(1) Open Surgery and (2) Laparoscopic
Surgery.
In the open surgery, an
incision is made in the abdomen and abdominal muscles
are separated to reveal the ovary. Blood
vessels supplying blood to the ovary is
thereafter clamped and securely tied. Cysts are then
carefully removed, and if cancer is suspected, the
ovaries are also removed.
Laparoscopic surgery, on the
other hand, is minimally invasive as it entails small
incisions or holes made just below the navel through
which the laparoscope is inserted into the abdomen. The next step
consists of pumping CO2 gas into the abdomen as a result
of which, the surgeon can get a clear picture of the
abdominal organs. However, after the cysts are located
by the laparoscope, a few additional holes are drilled
through which laparoscopic surgical tools (usually
provided with longer handles) are introduced for removal
of the cysts.
Ovarian cyst removal
through surgery cannot however guarantee that it will
not return. This is thus not a permanent cyst treatment.
To get rid of your problem for good, you should opt for
holistic remedies that treat the root causes and not the
symptoms. Once the causes go away, the cyst goes
too.
