What are the symptoms of benign teratoma? What are the hazards of benign teratoma

Do you know what symptoms our benign teratoma has? Many people may not know that teratoma is actually the most common gynecological disease among women today. Its occurrence seriously endangers the patient's physical and mental health. Let's introduce the symptoms of benign teratoma in detail below.

As for the symptoms of our benign teratoma, we can analyze this issue from the following points.

1. The main symptom of this disease is abnormal menstruation. Teratoma may cause abnormal menstruation, such as irregular cycle, heavy or light menstruation. This symptom is very common. In fact, this disease is usually found during cesarean section. For some obese or pregnant people, it is not easy to find teratoma during B-ultrasound. Therefore, some women find teratoma in their abdomen during cesarean section, and the doctor will remove the teratoma.

2. What are the symptoms of benign teratoma? Generally, you can feel a bulge in your body. Some people's teratoma has grown very large, with a big belly. Once you go to the hospital for a checkup, it may be a teratoma. It is found during long-term infertility examinations. Some women have been infertile for many years after marriage, and they go to the hospital for a checkup to find out that it is a teratoma. It may also be found during other operations or during preoperative physical examinations.

3. This disease presents with painless masses, which are the most common symptom of teratoma. They are mostly round cystic and uneven in hardness and softness, and even bony nodules can be palpated. Generally, our mediastinal teratomas can often compress the respiratory tract and cause choking, dyspnea, and distended neck veins; retroperitoneal teratomas often have abdominal pain and can cause intestinal obstruction. Pelvic and sacrococcygeal occult teratomas are often diagnosed due to constipation, difficulty in defecation, and urinary retention.

Through the above introduction, everyone should have a better understanding of the symptoms of benign teratoma. Patients with ovarian teratoma must receive symptomatic treatment as soon as possible according to the cause. It is recommended that everyone should do relevant prevention work for this disease in their lives.

Teratoma is a relatively common ovarian germ cell tumor. Teratomas can be divided into benign teratomas and malignant teratomas. Benign teratomas are what we often call tumors, and malignant teratomas refer to cancer. Once a teratoma is found, it needs to be treated promptly. This is what teratoma will not do.

Teratomas are not harmful.

Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion is generally seen in teratomas with long pedicles, medium size, and good mobility. It often occurs when the body position changes suddenly and generally requires emergency surgical treatment.

Ovarian tumor rupture. If an ovarian tumor ruptures during abdominal impact, sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, the tumor rupture may lead to abdominal bleeding, peritonitis, etc. Emergency surgery is also required to detect the rupture.

Infection often occurs when the ovarian tumor pedicle is torsion or ruptured, and active anti-infection treatment can be given after surgery.

Approximately 2-4% of teratomas undergo malignant transformation.

Compression symptoms: The gradual increase in the number of ovarian teratomas will cause local compression symptoms, such as frequent urination, constipation, abdominal pain, lower back pain, etc.

Misdiagnosis and delay: The diagnosis of ovarian tumor type is generally made through postoperative pathological biopsy. If the teratoma is believed to be an actual malignant tumor of the ovary, the disease will be delayed and lead to tumor proliferation.

What is a teratoma

Teratoma is a common ovarian germ cell tumor, which is differentiated from germ cells and is divided into mature teratoma (benign teratoma) and immature teratoma (malignant teratoma). Benign teratoma contains skin, hair, teeth, bones, oil, nerve tissue and other components. Malignant teratoma is poorly differentiated, with little or no well-formed tissue and unclear structure. Early teratoma has no obvious clinical symptoms and is often discovered accidentally during physical examinations.

The above discussion has discussed the harmlessness of teratoma and what teratoma is. As a woman with teratoma in her body, you'd better know that teratoma is actually a very serious disease. Once discovered, it is best to treat it in time. If the treatment is not timely and appropriate, it will lead to very serious consequences.
