What Causes Abdominal Bloating After Removal Of Ovarian Cysts?
I had laparoscopic surgery to remove 3 large cysts and my right ovary 3 1/2 weeks ago and I am experiencing terrible bloating, swelling, gas and indigestion. It has been going on for the better part of the past week. I plan to call my Dr tomorrow but I am extra bloated tonight and am getting worried. I m not sure what to do?

Hello,
As post the surgery you will feel kind of bloating due to fluid accumulation which is a temporary thing and will vanish soon.
Indigestion happens once the patient is discharged from the hospital due to the medication and having antacid will help reduce indigestion.
Don't worry about swelling, bloating, gas etc because these are temporary and will get away on its own soon.
Post the rest phase of about 3-4 weeks you can start simple abdominal and pelvic floor exercise to help improve the muscle property and regain the muscle tightness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
