What is ovarian tumor surgery like

Pathological ovarian cysts are often seen in dermoid cysts, or serous or mucinous cysts. After observation, if the cyst fails to disappear or gradually increases in size and is larger than 5 cm, surgical treatment may be considered. If the ovarian cyst increases rapidly in a short period of time and is accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain and discomfort, the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out, and timely surgical treatment is recommended. Physiological ovarian cysts are generally caused by endocrine hormone disorders in the body. These patients have excessively high levels of androgens or estrogen, which may lead to the appearance of ovarian cysts. This situation can be observed first. It is generally recommended to re-examine after 2 to 3 menstrual cycles. Some ovarian cysts can disappear naturally.

Symptoms of benign ovarian tumors

Among benign tumor-like lesions, follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts are the most common. They are mostly unilateral with thin walls. They may disappear on their own after 2-3 months of observation or oral contraceptives. If the mass persists or increases in size, it is more likely to be an ovarian tumor. When the tumor increases in size, you may feel abdominal distension or a mass can be felt in the abdomen. When the tumor grows and fills the entire pelvic and abdominal cavity, compression symptoms such as frequent urination, constipation, palpitations, and shortness of breath may occur. During a triple diagnosis, a round or quasi-round mass can be felt on one or both sides of the uterus. Most of them are cystic, with a smooth surface, can move, and have no adhesions to the uterus. When benign ovarian tumors are relatively small, most patients have no symptoms, and they are usually discovered accidentally during gynecological examinations.

Borderline serous tumor of ovary

If a borderline serous ovarian tumor recurs, this situation generally requires symptomatic treatment through another surgery. Most cases are highly malignant, so after surgery for a borderline serous ovarian tumor, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The chance of recurrence of a borderline serous ovarian tumor is uncertain, and most cases are not a big problem. In this case, the chance of recurrence is relatively high, especially for patients with malignant tumors.
