Learn About Ruptured Cyst Treatment

By Amanda Clark

A common issue for menstruating women is the development of ovarian cysts. Caused by complications in the egg production and expulsion process, these are most often dissolved or absorbed within the body. However, in some instances further complications may arise and they can rupture. Ruptured cyst treatment varies, depending very much on the severity of the issue.

Having stabilized the patient, a thorough examination will be necessary in order to determine the extent of the problem, and assess the risk.

In all cases, the first course of action for ruptured cyst treatment will be antibiotics. The drug prescribed will again vary on severity of the problem, and on the how each individual responds. Short term drugs will be tried as a first measure, though longer courses may be prescribed if felt necessary.

In almost all cases the pain experienced through a cyst rupture can be extremely painful; and pain management drugs will be prescribed. Again, the drugs prescribed will depend very much on the individual, and will be carefully managed according to other medications being taken.

The pain medicines given will also need to be closely introduced regards the antibiotics course that has been prescribed. What analgesic medicines will most likely be prescribed as a first form of attack; these will gradually be reduced. As pain lessens, such common meds as Tylenol are likely to be prescribed, though the situation will remain closely monitored.

This supervision will continue throughout treatment, and may need to change quickly depending upon how the situation improves or deteriorates. Whatever happens, supervision will remain tight, with regular scans and abdominal examinations. Depending on the outcome of these, laparoscopic surgery may be scheduled

More invasive surgery may be necessary to completely remove the cyst, though this will be only once the infection has abated, and presents no further risks, though all options will be thoroughly discussed before any decisions are taken. - 29962
