Any advice on exercising with a 10cm cyst pre-surgery?
I've recently been diagnosed with a 10cm ovarian cyst by ultrasound after being admitted to A&E with acute urinary retention. I'm 28 and in good health with no other symptoms prior to hospitalisation and now no pain just mild discomfort from catheterisation. Now awaiting a surgery date (2 weeks +) and experiencing no further urinary problems (or other problems) and feeling generally normal, would it be advisable to maintain a light exercise regime or avoid unnecessary exercise completely at risk of rupture? I've received no medical advice on what I should or shouldn't do in the interim release from hospital. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Same here. I had about 2 cysts about the same size and I exercised up until the day before my laparoscopy. Just be careful after the surgery because depending on how quickly you heal, you may not be able to work out for awhile.
Thanks for the advice! I think I'll try a bit of swimming and see how that goes.
My cyst measured 9.4cm and I really had no restrictions before surgery that I didn't place on myself because of pain. I worked and lifted pretty heavy stuff anytime I needed. But. I think it all depends on what you are used to doing. If you have been exercising up to this point, you should probably keep doing, at least SOME exercise to keep your strength up. Just be careful, and be mindful of any new pain. Call your doctor with any new symptoms. Hope all goes well.
