Vulvar, vaginal benign tumors removal
Benign Vulvar and Vaginal Tumor Removal
When a benign tumor of the female genital tract is diagnosed, its removal is recommended to improve quality of life and sexual well-being, as well as to help prevent the development of malignant tumors. In women over 40 years of age, removal of such lesions is particularly recommended due to their increased risk of malignant transformation.
About the Procedure:
During the procedure, a lesion located on the vulva or within the vaginal wall is surgically removed.
Before the Procedure:
Our clinical team will perform the necessary examinations and assess your overall health condition.
Before the procedure, please follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.
During the Procedure:
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. During surgery, the lesion is removed, bleeding is controlled, and a tissue sample is collected for histopathological examination. The procedure typically takes approximately one hour.
After the Procedure:
Following the procedure, the medical staff will monitor your condition until you recover from anesthesia. In most cases, you may be discharged shortly after the intervention. Therefore, please arrange for someone to accompany you home, as your reactions may still be affected by the anesthesia or pain medication.
After the procedure, the following is normal:
- Pain: Mild pain or discomfort similar to menstrual cramps may occur.
- Bathing and hygiene: You may shower the day after surgery. Bathing in a bathtub, swimming, or using a sauna is permitted four weeks after the procedure.
- Diet: Begin with fluids. If tolerated well, you may gradually return to your normal diet. Avoid spicy foods and foods that are difficult to digest. If nausea or vomiting occurs, consume fluids only until these symptoms subside. Avoid alcohol for 48 hours after the procedure and while taking pain medication or antibiotics.
- Physical activity: Rest during the first 24 hours after surgery. Thereafter, gradually return to your usual level of physical activity. Strenuous exercise may be resumed four weeks after the procedure.
- Sexual intercourse: Sexual activity may be resumed 30 days after the procedure.
- When to contact a doctor: Seek medical attention if you experience chills, a fever above 38°C (100.4°F), heavy bleeding, severe pain, persistent nausea, or vomiting.
Before discharge, your doctor will provide you with instructions regarding further treatment and recovery.
