Question: If you have a large cyst on each ovary and in a lot of pain, what is operational procedure please!?
Answers:
Surgery for an ovarian cyst or growth can be done through a small incision using laparoscopy or through a larger incision (laparotomy)!. The cut is made in your stomach area!.

Laparoscopy may be used to confirm the diagnosis of an ovarian cyst in a woman of childbearing age!. Persistent, large, or painful ovarian cysts that have no signs of cancer risk can be removed during laparoscopy, leaving the ovary intact!.

Laparotomy is used when an ovarian cyst is very large, ovarian cancer is suspected, or other problems with the abdominal or pelvic organs are present!. If cancer is found, the larger incision allows the surgeon to closely examine the entire area and more safely remove all cancerous growth!.
What To Think About

For the most part, functional ovarian cysts stop forming when menopause occurs (on rare occasion, a functional ovarian cyst will occur or persist within 5 years of menopause)!. Relieving symptoms with medication until menopause is complete may be an option!.

Some women prefer the risks of surgery to symptoms that reduce their quality of life!. If your health professional recommends surgery, ask whether laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy would be the best choice for you!.

Unless the ovaries are removed, surgery does not prevent the formation of new functional ovarian cysts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For a large cyst the surgery they would do is to go in and drain the sac to get rid of the fluid!. But when you do this make sure to ask the doctor to take down the cyst wall (this is the sac) as well to help keep the cysts from reforming!.

They can do this surgery laparoscopically depending on just how large the cysts are!.
