How many years does it usually take for ovarian tumors to recur?

As part of the female reproductive system, the ovaries play a very important role in female reproduction and life health. Once the ovaries are diseased, or the disease recurs, such as the occurrence of recurrent ovarian tumors, we will introduce the disease below.

The incidence of gynecological diseases in women is increasing year by year. Women of any age are likely to suffer from gynecological diseases. Recurrent ovarian tumor is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate. So what are the causes of the disease?

1. Endometrial implantation theory: Sampson was the first to propose that endometrial fragments shed during menstruation flow back through the fallopian tubes into the abdominal cavity with menstrual blood, implant in the ovaries and adjacent pelvic peritoneum, and subsequently grow and spread to develop into endometriosis.

2. Lymphatic and venous spread theory: The presence of endometrial tissue in the pelvic veins or lymph nodes supports this argument and believes that endometriosis occurring in organs far away from the pelvic area, such as the lungs, hands, and skin and muscles of the thighs, may be the result of lymphatic or venous spread.

3. Metaplasia of the coelomic epithelium: The epithelium of the female reproductive system, the ovarian reproductive epithelium, and the pelvic peritoneal pleura all originate from the coelomic epithelium. When affected by factors such as inflammation, trauma, and excessive estrogen, or when the coelomic epithelium is repeatedly stimulated by menstrual hormones or chronic inflammation, it can metaplasia into endometrial-like tissue, forming endometriosis. 80% of endometriosis occurs in the ovaries, which is related to the metaplastic potential of the ovarian germinal epithelium. However, many scholars currently believe that peritoneal irritation combined with endometriosis is the result rather than the cause, and that peritoneal irritation occurs outside the ectopic foci.

4. Immunology theory: Some people believe that when a woman's immune function is normal, the local immune system mainly kills the endometrial cells that flow into the abdominal cavity through the fallopian tubes during menstruation. If the local immune function is insufficient or the number of endometrial cells flowing back into the abdominal cavity is too large, the immune cells are not enough to kill them and endometriosis occurs.

The above are the causes of recurrent ovarian tumors. Therefore, you may wish to learn more about them. Only by understanding the causes of the disease can we avoid the occurrence of the disease to a certain extent. Of course, I also hope that my friends can stay away from the disease.

Through the introduction above, we know some causes of recurrent ovarian tumors. Knowing these causes, we can effectively avoid the occurrence of the above situations and avoid the recurrence of ovarian tumors. I wish all female friends good health.
