Abdominal pain during menstruation after laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst

Having a period refers to menstruation, and stomach pain usually means abdominal pain. Abdominal pain during menstruation after laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts may be caused by factors such as getting cold, incomplete wound healing, or postoperative infection. Patients can improve symptoms through general care, medication, and other treatments. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Getting Cold

This may occur if the patient consumes cold or cooling foods too early after surgery, causing the abdomen to become chilled and resulting in abdominal pain. Drinking warm water or brown sugar water, and applying a warm towel to the affected area, can help relieve symptoms.

2. Incomplete Wound Healing

Abdominal pain may also arise if menstruation occurs before the surgical wound has fully healed, which could irritate the wound site. Patients should get adequate rest, maintain proper local care, and consume nutritious foods such as milk, eggs, and beef to promote wound recovery.

3. Postoperative Infection

After surgery, the body's immune function may be reduced. If proper local care is not taken, the wound may become infected with bacteria, leading to abdominal pain. Under a doctor’s guidance, patients can take medications such as levofloxacin tablets, Yimucao granules (Leonurus granules), or cefixime capsules to alleviate symptoms.

In addition to the above causes, abdominal pain might also stem from underlying conditions such as endometriosis, vaginitis, or cervicitis. If abdominal pain is severe, patients should seek timely medical attention when necessary.
