Vaginal cyst surgery

Vaginal Cyst Removal Surgery

Vaginal cysts may develop from remnants of the mesonephric ducts or as a result of previous surgery or an episiotomy. If vaginal cysts cause symptoms or are very large, surgical removal is recommended to improve quality of life and sexual well-being.

For women over the age of 40, cyst removal is also recommended due to the increased risk of malignant transformation.

About the Procedure:

During the procedure, cysts located within the vaginal wall are surgically removed.

Before the Procedure:

Our clinical team will perform the necessary examinations and assess your overall health condition.

Before undergoing surgery, please follow your doctor's instructions carefully to help ensure the best possible outcome.

During the Procedure:

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. During surgery, the cyst located within the vaginal wall is removed, bleeding is controlled, and a tissue sample is collected for histopathological examination. The procedure takes approximately 1 hour.

After the Procedure:

Following the operation, medical staff will monitor your condition until you recover from anesthesia. In most cases, you may be discharged from the hospital shortly after the procedure. Therefore, please arrange for someone to accompany you home, as the effects of anesthesia or pain medication may temporarily impair your reactions.

After the procedure, the following may occur:

1. Bleeding: Light bloody, yellowish, watery, or unpleasant-smelling vaginal discharge may occur for several days after the procedure. This usually resolves within 2 to 3 weeks. If heavy bleeding occurs outside of your menstrual period, you should contact your gynecologist.

2. Pain: Mild pain or cramping similar to menstrual pain is normal after the procedure.

3. Bathing and Hygiene: You may take a shower the day after surgery. Bathing in a bathtub or using a sauna is permitted 4 weeks after the procedure.

4. Diet: Start with fluids. If tolerated, you may gradually return to your normal diet. Avoid spicy foods and foods that are difficult to digest. If nausea or vomiting occurs, consume only fluids until these symptoms resolve. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours after the procedure and while taking pain medication or antibiotics.

5. Physical Activity: Rest during the first 24 hours after surgery. Afterwards, gradually return to your usual level of physical activity. Strenuous exercise may be resumed 4 weeks after the procedure.

6. Sexual Activity: Sexual intercourse may be resumed 30 days after the procedure.

7. When to Seek Medical Attention: If you experience chills, a fever above 38°C, heavy bleeding, severe pain, persistent nausea, or vomiting, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Before you leave the hospital, your doctor will provide you with instructions regarding further treatment and recovery.
