Fluid may build up in the pelvis after surgery for a chocolate cyst.
Chocolate cysts are endometriotic cysts that occur in the ovaries, and are currently treated by surgical procedures such as stripping the cyst or removing the ovary, during which saline irrigation is required to minimize residual ectopic endometrium, and there is no guarantee that all the fluid will be attracted out after the irrigation.
Therefore, there may be fluid accumulation in the pelvis after surgery, and drains are often placed after surgery to facilitate the drainage of fluid.
For patients after surgery for ovarian chocolate cysts, it is also important to pay attention to the physical recovery as soon as possible after getting out of bed in order to prevent the formation of lower limb thrombosis, to promote physical strength and gastrointestinal function recovery, but also gradually increase the intake of eggs, milk and other high-quality protein in order to promote the body’s recovery, do not carry out heavy physical labor too early.
If women experience abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other discomforts after surgery, it is recommended that they go to a regular hospital in a timely manner to improve ultrasound and other relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease and then targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
