What is the cause of ovarian cyst pain? What should I pay attention to after surgery?

The incidence of ovarian cysts is very high, they develop slowly, are small in the early stages, and are mostly asymptomatic. However, patients with ovarian cysts generally experience abdominal pain, which is sometimes unbearable. So what is the cause of ovarian cyst pain? What should you pay attention to after surgery?

The initial symptoms of ovarian cysts are not very obvious. During gynecological examinations, a spherical mass is often felt on one or both sides of the uterus. It is cystic or solid, with a smooth surface and no adhesion to the uterus. The pedicle is long and active. When the tumor is large, abdominal pain will occur. In addition, patients often have abdominal distension and compression symptoms, such as frequent urination, constipation, palpitations, etc. So what is the cause of ovarian cyst pain?

1. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is caused by changes in body position or activities, turning over, and the uneven density of the ovary itself, which causes the ovarian cyst to twist and rotate from the pedicle. This torsion leads to poor local blood supply, ovarian ischemia, pain, and necrosis. This will cause abdominal pain in ovarian cysts.

2. Rupture. The contents of the ovarian cyst enter the abdominal cavity after rupture, irritating the peritoneum and causing pain.

3. Infection and inflammation can irritate the peritoneum and cause pain.

These are the causes of ovarian cyst pain. After knowing the cause, you can take appropriate treatment methods. If it is surgical treatment, what should you pay attention to after the operation?

After ovarian cyst surgery, you should avoid eating gas-producing foods such as milk and beans. On the second day, you should eat semi-liquid food and exercise. After your intestinal function has fully recovered, you can eat normal food.

After ovarian cyst surgery, you should also eat a variety of anti-tumor foods. At the same time, increase protein intake after ovarian cyst surgery. Protein can help wounds heal quickly and increase physical strength.

You can also choose fish, because fish is easier to digest and absorb than meat. Also eat an appropriate amount of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins, which can improve your immunity and help wounds heal quickly. Drink plenty of water.
