Ovarian cyst is one of the most common pathological processes of the female reproductive system. The disease can occur at any time of childbearing age. Often the pathology is observed in young women. For this reason, the question of whether it is possible to play sports with ovarian cysts is especially relevant.
Definition of
The ovarian cyst is a benign neoplasm. The cavity filled with a liquid can be of various shapes: elongated, and also round. It can be located inside the ovary or attached to it. The dimensions of education vary from 1.0 cm to 9.0 cm or more. Sometimes the diameter of the cyst can reach 15.0 cm - 20.0 cm.
Most formations have a follicular origin. They arise in the place of the formed follicle containing the egg, but not bursting or at the exit of the matured egg. The reason may be:
- Hormonal failure;
- Stress;
- Injury;
- Chronic inflammation of the appendages;
- Defective food;
- Abortion;
- Severe physical activity.
The pathological process can proceed without symptoms and disappear on its own. Sometimes serious therapy is required under the supervision of a doctor. Treatment of cysts is a long process. Many factors influence its course. In addition, pathology requires the introduction of some restrictions, for example, the exclusion of excessive physical exertion.
Sport activities
It is known that a sporting lifestyle is good for a woman's health. Exercise improves the action of the respiratory, as well as cardiovascular system. Sports activities also lead to the following results:
- Improvement of blood circulation of all organs;
- Establishment of metabolism;
- Strengthening of muscles;
- Fat burning.
Despite the list of useful properties, it is necessary to take seriously the choice of suitable physical occupations. The decisive role in this is played by the degree of complexity and the variety of cysts.
If the formation has arisen because of the inflammatory process, then the physical culture should be completely ruled out in order to avoid possible complications. It is possible to resume exercise only after a full course of restorative therapy. Begin the exercises with a small, gradually increasing the load.
It is important to remember that some exercises can worsen the condition of pathological education. The number of unwanted exercises includes:
- Load on the press. Raising the trunk or legs from a prone position;
- Strain with effort of oblique, as well as straight abdominal muscles.
Only an easy form of physical training is allowed.
In case of polycystosis
Polycystic ovary is a multiple formation of cysts of small size. With this diagnosis, sports are a part of complex therapy, as well as a way to get rid of excess weight. The pathological process is difficult to treat if the patient is overweight. In addition, extra pounds are one of the causes of anovulation and increased insulin levels in the blood.
Regular physical exercises in combination with a diet lead to positive results. In the presence of cysts such physical exercises are shown:
- Light running. Jogging with heavy load can cause severe pain, spasms in the lower abdomen;
- LFK. An integral part of treatment is often prescribed by a doctor. It can include exercises that have varying degrees of strain. For example, light gymnastics or classes on the simulator. In specially developed exercises, the muscles of the abdominal and pelvic regions develop, and the function of the sick organs is restored;
- Walking. If intense sports are contraindicated, then walking can be a good alternative. This type of health support is absolutely safe. With its help, the spine is strengthened, the general tone and mood are increased. The pedometer will allow to regulate the level of the load, according to the form of cystic education.
Before starting sports, it is necessary to agree on the type of exercises and the level of their difficulty with a specialist. Appointments are absolutely individual.
Consequences of
If there are small ovarian cysts in women, exercises of any intensity are often permitted. The main factor is to avoid fatigue. Pathological education of large sizes excludes occupations that can cause a rupture or twisting of the cyst:
- Jumping;
- Squats;
- Sharp torso of the trunk;
- Intense running;
- Load on the press;
- Makhi feet;
- Classes with dumbbells;
- Severe attacks.
The presence of a follicular cyst in combination with excessive stress can cause apoplexy - a sudden rupture of tissues. This course of events can occur because of the very rapid growth of cystic education or as a result of an external factor: sudden movement, somersault, fall or jump. And the size of a cyst in this case does not matter.
Therapeutic exercises
Neoplasms in the organs of the female reproductive system may be the result of blood stagnation. The cause of stagnation may become a sedentary lifestyle. Moderate physical exercise is a good preventive measure. So doctors recommend alternately draw in and inflate the stomach. As a result of exercises, squeezing and straightening of the organs occurs. This stimulates the release of blood stagnation. Improving the blood supply will gradually reduce the cyst until it completely disappears.
The best result is guaranteed when the exercise is combined with respiratory gymnastics. At the same time on inhalation it is necessary to inflate the stomach, and on exhalation - to draw. Repeat exercise is required at least 25 times within 5 minutes. At the same time, the number of approaches should exceed 8 times. In addition, such a gymnastics allows you to get rid of fat deposits on your stomach.
Stretching exercises should be performed with care. Dimly and slowly.
Laparoscopy
In some cases, laparoscopy is required to treat a cyst - surgical intervention. This method has a number of advantages in comparison with the classical type of operation. For example, with laparoscopy do not cut, and small punctures, which are filled with carbon dioxide. A laparoscope equipped with a camera is inserted into the abdominal cavity. The average time required for the operation is about 1 hour. Sometimes its course is longer.
After a laparoscopy, the patient is usually discharged after a few days. Despite the rapid recovery, physical stresses must be treated with caution. The patient is often allowed to get up and move after several hours. Sometimes a woman is allowed to sit down after the first day, and walking is allowed no earlier than the third day. Sutures are removed after the end of the week.
For 2-3 weeks after the operation, it is necessary to limit physical activity. You can not lift heavy objects, do hard work. In addition, it is necessary to avoid exercises that cause stresses of the press, including sexual intercourse. The best way to restore physical health after a laparoscopy is walking. Start better with short distances and gradually increase them.
Recovery of
Before implementing even the lightest exercises in your complex, you need to consult a doctor. The specialist will be able to evaluate all the possible consequences after performing the charging. It is preferable to practice physical gymnastics under the supervision of a qualified trainer.
A good way to recover after removing the cyst is breathing exercises. It is advisable to bend your knees during exercise. This type of exercise is shown in any time interval after the operation. In addition, a positive effect is the imitation of walking. In this situation, it is necessary to slide the legs( heels) along the surface in the supine position. It is recommended to perform several times a day.
After a few days, the introduction of exercises in the sitting position is appropriate. For example, light twists of the trunk. It is also recommended that regular walking is gradually supplemented by walking on the steps.
Three weeks after laparoscopy, a woman is usually allowed to return to the rhythm of life and physical activity that is habitual for her. The same gradual should be the return to sports activities. You can start with swimming.
Conclusion
It is known that most of the cystic formations encountered are treated without complications. As a result, women can safely nurture and bear children. However, it is important not to abuse self-medication and not expect that the cyst will go away on its own. It is necessary to clarify with the doctor whether it is possible to play sports at the current stage of the pathological process. Strict adherence to the doctor's recommendations will prevent the occurrence of possible complications.
