Must ovarian teratoma do an operation

summary

Recently, inexplicably, I always have abdominal distension and pain, and my waist is still very sour. I thought that I was about to have menstruation, but after menstruation for several days, I would still have bleeding. So I went to the hospital to check that it was ovarian teratoma. Now let's talk about whether ovarian teratoma must be operated.

Must ovarian teratoma do an operation

First, most teratomas are benign. If the tumor is very small, we can observe it for a while under 2 or 3 cm. If it's more than 3cm, it needs surgery. Teratoma itself is not very homogeneous, uneven density, so it is prone to torsion, we can do more than 3 cm surgery.

Second: if it is less than 3cm and the tumor is too small, we have to go to find it. This will be troublesome. At the same time, it will cause great damage to the ovary, and some can't even be found. At this time, we can continue to observe, but we need to follow up regularly. If you grow up, do it. If you don't grow up, observe it.

Third: once the teratoma is diagnosed, early surgical resection must be made to avoid malignant transformation of benign teratoma caused by delayed operation, and prevent the occurrence of tumor infection, rupture, bleeding and complications. The key point of teratoma operation is to remove the tumor completely.

matters needing attention

Teratoma is a common and frequently occurring disease in female infertility. Its incidence rate is very high, which can affect the normal function of the ovary, and it may also directly affect pregnancy. Generally speaking, ovarian function should return to normal after teratoma surgery, which is good for pregnancy.
