I Had Ovarian Cyst Surgery

Today's video is a storytime about my recent ovarian cyst surgery. I wanted to share my experience and what I've learned in hopes of helping someone else that might be struggling. It was a bit of a journey so it is a long video but I wanted to make sure I recalled every detail. If you're sensitive to medical procedures or surgery details, maybe skip this one :)

How big was your cyst?

[@nadabulbul7216]

I had the surgery around one month ago.
the ovarian cyst reputed before the surgery and it caused appendicitis.
I was scared before the surgery and I thought it’s super painful but the pain wasn’t as I imagined. The doctor gave me painkillers.
I experienced symptoms of epidural anesthesia, but the symptoms of anesthesia vary from one person to another.
Another thing to keep in mind is that after surgery, you will not be able to sit and stand on your own. Someone needs to help you each time. This will gradually get better over the next two weeks. Constipation is very likely after the surgery as well.
In my experience, it will take 3 weeks to recover and feel like you are back to your normal life. Before of that, you will be just recovering. Take a lot of rest during that time, eat healthy and don’t stress yourself.
After the surgery, you must take care of the wound and make sure it does not become infected. It is normal for the color of the wound to change over time, but if you notice any strange changes, you must talk to your doctor immediately.
Try not to sneeze, cough or laugh after the surgery because it is painful and may lead to the wound opening.
Stay healthy and safe girls ❤️

Very interesting, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.

Thank you for this! I have an ovarian cyst and need surgery. I'm against using birth control, so I'm glad you found a solution. Listening to this really helped me.

How big was your cyst? And do you have endometriosis?

[@HighVibeTeaching]

Just saw another video where you were diagnosed with endo

How big was the cyst???

You need kelp and Dim! Very good to balance female hormones. I too had an ovary removed unfortunately. I wish I knew sooner to take those supplements that I now take to balance my hormones.
