Should ovarian tumors be treated with total hysterectomy? Malignant tumors must be removed. Failure to remove them will result in three hazards.

Whether ovarian tumors require hysterectomy or not depends mainly on the severity of the disease. If it is a benign ovarian tumor, hysterectomy is usually not necessary, and tumor removal or adnexectomy can be performed. However, if it is a malignant ovarian tumor, hysterectomy is required, otherwise it may cause adverse effects on the body.

The ovaries are located deep in the female pelvic cavity, so when an ovarian tumor occurs, the early symptoms are very atypical. Only when the tumor slowly invades from the deep to other parts of the abdominal cavity will there be some typical symptoms. The main symptoms are abdominal distension, ascites, etc. If not treated in time, it may cause a variety of complications. The more commonly used treatments for gynecological diseases include total hysterectomy, so is total hysterectomy used for ovarian tumors?
1. Is ovarian tumor treated with hysterectomy?
1. It is not necessary to have a total hysterectomy <br/>Ovarian cysts, regardless of their size, require surgical treatment once diagnosed, but a total hysterectomy is not necessary. If the patient is young or requires fertility preservation, and the tumor is not very large and is benign, a total hysterectomy is not necessary, and a tumor removal surgery can be performed; if the tumor is relatively large, an adnexectomy is recommended, but follicular cysts, chocolate cysts, etc. need to be ruled out before surgery.
2. Malignant ovarian tumors require total hysterectomy <br/>If the ovarian tumor is malignant or cannot be ruled out as malignant, then preparations for total hysterectomy should be made before surgery. In other words, total hysterectomy is required for malignant tumors. If an ovarian tumor occurs in a woman who is near menopause or postmenopause, even if it is benign, total hysterectomy is required.
2. Harms of malignant ovarian tumors without hysterectomy and oophorectomy
1. Induce infection <br/>If you suffer from malignant ovarian tumors and do not receive timely treatment, you will easily experience abdominal pain, fever and elevated white blood cells. It may even induce infection, which is relatively rare and is usually caused by tumor rupture or pedicle torsion.
2. Anemia <br/>Due to problems such as long-term energy digestion and bleeding after the onset of the disease, malignant ovarian tumors will have symptoms of anemia, usually accompanied by weakness and soreness of the limbs, loss of appetite, dizziness and headache, and the immune function will be damaged, leading to a decrease in resistance.
3. Pedicle torsion <br/>If malignant ovarian cysts are not treated in time, they are prone to pedicle torsion during acute attacks. This is a relatively critical gynecological disease. The main symptoms are severe abdominal pain, and in severe cases, shock may occur. Therefore, once this happens, it needs to be treated immediately to prevent blood clots from falling off and entering the blood circulation.
