Ovarian tumors and ovarian cysts

Ovarian tumors and ovarian cysts

Most ovarian cysts have a long course of disease. The cysts will gradually increase in size and are usually unilateral. Physical examination may also reveal good mobility, a smooth surface, and no abdominal effusion. Color Doppler ultrasound examination generally shows clear edges of the cysts.

The course of ovarian cancer is generally short, and the tumor can generally grow rapidly in a short period of time. Physical examination often reveals that the tumor is bilateral, relatively fixed in position, with an uneven surface, and sometimes even nodular, and is often accompanied by peritoneal effusion.

If a puncture is done, bloody effusion may be found, and laboratory tests may reveal cancer cells. Generally, the patient is in poor physical condition and has cachexia. Color Doppler ultrasound examination may reveal some liquid dark areas with messy light clusters and spots. The tumor is cystic and solid, and the tumor boundary is unclear.

Ovarian tumor postoperative care

For patients with early ovarian cancer, it is generally necessary to consider surgery to completely remove the cancer after the diagnosis, and also to remove the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. First of all, about six hours after the operation, the patient needs to lie flat as much as possible, and temporarily fast and drink no food. More than six hours after the operation, the patient can be helped to turn over, which helps intestinal peristalsis. It is also recommended to eat a light and low-calorie diet after the operation, and often drink more millet porridge and rice soup. After the bowel movements are normal, you can eat high-protein foods, such as crucian carp soup, black chicken soup, etc.
