For women who have had surgery for ovarian cysts, it is generally recommended to rest for about 7-14 days. For women undergoing minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, the recovery is faster because the abdominal incision is smaller after surgery, so many women are able to heal within a week or so after the surgery. However, for women treated with open surgery, the recovery of the abdominal incision after surgery is slower, so the best time to rest after surgery is about half a month. Because each woman’s surgical procedure is different, there are certain differences in the recovery after surgery, so the rest time after surgery will also be different.
