Oophorectomy - Hospital Admission
Certain hospital formalities maybe required before hospitalization especially if you have private health insurance. Clarify the issue with the doctor or with the administrator. Sometimes authorization maybe required from your insurance service provider for the procedure.
You may require to pack your usual toiletries and a few clothes including undergarments, night wear for hospital stay. If the operation is done using Laparoscopy the stay in hospital may only be for a day or two whereas an open surgical procedure may require a 5 to 7 days stay.
You are advised to discuss the type of anesthesia with the doctor. It is best to clarify all the doubts about the procedure. In some patients these procedures are done using general anesthesia and in others the preferred anesthesia is using a spinal or epidural anesthesia.
I had my left ovary,fallopian tube and the cyst removed a week ago. I had a lot of adhesions that is why my left ovary and tube had to be removed. Now am having stabbing pain on my right lower abdomen and some discharges. Discharges were brown and think on the second day post op, red and clotty on the 5th day, today the discharge is black. Can i have some advice please?
