2. What Is a Dermoid Ovarian Cyst?
An ovarian dermoid is typically a benign cyst that is
common during a woman's reproductive years. Only about
1% of dermoids are cancerous and this is generally in
women over age 40. What's truly odd about this type of
tumor is that it often contains hair, sebaceous glands, bone,
muscle fibers, and even teeth.
As alarming as this sounds, most dermoids are quite
harmless. But, they can pose a problem if they grow too
large, twist, or rupture. A ruptured dermoid ovarian cyst
will leak out its contents into the abdominal cavity leading
to a potentially life threatening condition known as
peritonitis.

3. What Docs Don't Tell You!
There seems to be some secret surrounding this particular
surgery. Maybe doctors do not want to scare off their
patients. I've found that many physicians are not entirely
honest about the amount recovery time required after
ovarian cyst removal.
Whatever they tell you, it will probably not be entirely
accurate. Given my experience, I say at least two weeks
recovery for laparoscopic and 6 weeks time for open
surgery. Complications will prolong your recovery time.
Here's what I've found to be the most common after
effects of dermoid removal....

4. Expect Lots of Bloating
I was shocked by the amount of gas and bloating I
experienced after surgery. But, it makes sense. Air is
pumped into the abdominal cavity so doctors can get a
better view of your internal organs. I had so much
abdominal bloating that I looked like I was in the early
months of pregnancy.
My advice is to use an over the counter gas remedy with
simethicone to help disperse the gas. Avoid gas producing
foods.

5. Pain...Everywhere
Unfortunately, the incision site and all of the gas used to fill
the abdomen also causes sharp pain. This pain is usually in
the neck, chest, and back areas. I remember that trying to
lay flat on my back was nearly impossible immediately after
surgery. Of course, trying to get a good night's rest
becomes difficult.
Yes, it hurt to cough and laugh. There was no bending at
the waist and definitely no reaching to get items off of a
high shelf. My suggestion: use a pillow to brace the
abdomen when coughing or laughing. Try to walk as much
as possible to regain muscle strength and disperse gas
bubbles. www.healthnurse.us

6. Constipation Preoccupation
Since you'll probably be taking a narcotic pain medication
for all of those gas pains, you'll most likely experience
constipation. Constipation is also caused by lack of
movement and is natural side effect from abdominal
surgery. Solution...take small walks to get things moving
again.

7. Unending Periods
Ovarian cyst removal throws your entire reproductive
system out of whack. So, you can look forward to
experiencing prolonged menstrual periods. Your first
period after surgery may be up to two weeks in length.
You've been warned!

8. Oops...Where Is My Voice?
As with any surgery that requires the use of general
anesthesia, expect some vocal hoarseness. After my
surgery I had no voice for a week and a horrible barking
cough for a good week and a half. Invest in cough drops
and hot lemon tea.
