Ovarian Torsion Treatment in Hyderabad: Expert Surgical Care at Lux Hospitals
Ovarian torsion is a medical emergency that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to save the ovary and preserve fertility. This painful condition occurs when an ovary twists around the ligaments that support it, cutting off its blood supply. If not treated quickly, it can lead to severe complications, including loss of the ovary. At Lux Hospitals, Gachibowli, we offer advanced, minimally invasive ovarian torsion treatment in Hyderabad, combining expert care, rapid diagnosis, and precision surgery.
What is Ovarian Torsion?
Ovarian torsion, also known as adnexal torsion, happens when an ovary (sometimes along with the fallopian tube) rotates around its supporting ligaments. This twist restricts or completely blocks blood flow to the ovary, leading to intense pain and potential tissue damage.
This condition is often associated with ovarian cysts or other abnormalities that increase the ovary’s weight, causing it to twist. Immediate medical intervention is essential, and ovarian torsion surgery is often the recommended course of action.
Causes of Ovarian Torsion
There are several factors that contribute to ovarian torsion causes, including:
- Ovarian cysts or masses
- Enlarged ovaries due to fertility treatments
- Pregnancy
- Congenital abnormalities of the reproductive organs
- Sudden body movements or trauma
Both left ovarian torsion and right ovarian torsion can occur, although right-sided torsion is slightly more common due to anatomical reasons.
Symptoms of Ovarian Torsion
Recognizing ovarian torsion symptoms early can make a significant difference. Common signs include:
- Sudden, sharp pelvic or abdominal pain (often on one side)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Tenderness in the lower abdomen
- Low-grade fever (in some cases)
- Pain during physical activity or movement
In many women, ovarian cyst torsion symptoms can overlap with other gynecological issues, so timely diagnosis is key.
Treatment options of Ovarian Torsion in Hyderabad
We specialize in ovarian torsion treatment in Hyderabad, offering a combination of expert surgical care and compassionate support. Once diagnosed, surgery is usually performed immediately to untwist the ovary and restore blood flow. If the ovary is severely damaged, it may need to be removed.
Types of Ovarian Torsion Surgery:
- Laparoscopic Detorsion (Minimally Invasive Surgery):
Our gynecologic surgeons perform this keyhole surgery to untwist the ovary. This is often the first line of ovarian torsion treatment when diagnosed early.
- Ovarian Cyst Removal:
In cases where ovarian cyst torsion is the underlying cause, the cyst may be removed to prevent recurrence.
- Oophorectomy (Ovary Removal):
If the ovary is nonviable due to prolonged torsion, ovarian torsion surgery procedure may involve removing the damaged ovary.
We also offer ovarian cyst torsion surgery options for patients with recurrent or high-risk cysts.
Recovery After Ovarian Torsion Surgery
Recovery depends on the severity of the torsion and whether the ovary was preserved. Most patients recover quickly after laparoscopic surgery and can resume normal activities within a week. Our team will guide you through every step of the ovarian torsion treatment and post-operative care.
When is Ovarian Torsion Surgery Needed?
You may require ovarian torsion surgery if you experience:
- Persistent, sharp lower abdominal pain
- Symptoms suggestive of ovarian cyst torsion
- Sudden onset of pain with nausea or vomiting
- Findings suggestive of torsion on ultrasound
