How to treat ovarian tumors

How to treat ovarian tumors?

1. Patients with ovarian tumors need to undergo B-ultrasound to determine their size, number, and growth rate, whether they cause compression symptoms on surrounding tissues, and whether they cause systemic symptoms, so as to select the appropriate treatment plan. However, if the ovarian tumor is relatively large, such as a maximum diameter greater than 5 cm, or if there are symptoms of tissue compression, or if there is pedicle torsion, or if the growth rate is relatively fast, surgery should be considered.

2. If the ovarian tumor is small, occurs alone, grows slowly, the patient is healthy, and has no compression symptoms, dynamic reexamination can be performed, and medication can be taken in moderation. Postoperative pathological examination can determine whether the ovarian tumor is benign or malignant, and then further treatment can be given.

Causes of ovarian tumors

The high-risk factors for ovarian cancer include the following:

First, genetic factors, such as gene mutations, such as brca1 and so on.

Second, continuous ovulation and the rupture of follicles every month can cause damage to the ovarian germinal epithelium. If abnormalities occur during the repair process, it may cause lesions, so it is believed that contraceptives inhibit ovulation and have a protective effect on the ovaries.

Third, environmental or other factors, such as environmental pollution, bad living habits, high stress, staying up late, etc., may affect immune function. Ovarian cancer mostly occurs in premenopausal women. Those over 35 years old are more likely to develop ovarian epithelial cancer, while young and infant women are more likely to develop germ cell malignant tumors.
