Slight pain in the lower right abdomen after surgery for a cyst on the right ovary

Mild pain in the lower right abdomen after surgery for a right ovarian cyst may be caused by postoperative pain, post-surgical infection, or residual tissue at the surgical site. This can be improved through general care, medication, or additional surgery. Specific explanations are as follows:

1. Postoperative Pain

Postoperative pain is a common occurrence, especially discomfort and pain around the surgical area. After surgery for a right ovarian cyst, mild pain or discomfort in the lower right abdomen may arise due to surgical manipulation and wound healing. If no other symptoms are present, specific treatment is usually not required.

2. Postoperative Infection

Failure to properly clean and care for the surgical wound may lead to local infection, which can cause swelling and pain. Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take medications such as amoxicillin capsules or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules to relieve local symptoms.

3. Residual Tissue

If the affected tissue was not completely removed during surgery, residual tissue may irritate the ovarian area and cause pain, requiring further surgical intervention.

Besides the above reasons, conditions such as salpingitis, chronic nephritis, or acute enteritis could also contribute to the pain. If any postoperative discomfort occurs, prompt medical evaluation and treatment are necessary to identify the underlying cause and initiate appropriate management. Additionally, patients should follow their doctor’s instructions after surgery, ensure adequate rest and recovery, and avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse to minimize unnecessary irritation or injury.
