Things to note about ovarian tumors

Benign ovarian tumors develop slowly. Small tumors are usually asymptomatic, while medium-sized tumors may cause lower abdominal discomfort. Good care can reduce the pain of patients. So, what are the care measures for benign ovarian tumors? Let's get to know them together.

In daily life, try to avoid high-cholesterol diet; women over 30 years old should have a gynecological examination once a year, and it would be better if they can also have B-ultrasound examination, CA125 and other tests at the same time; if a solid ovarian mass is found to be greater than or equal to 5 centimeters in diameter, surgery should be performed in time; patients with breast cancer and gastrointestinal tumors should undergo regular gynecological examinations after treatment to determine whether there is ovarian metastasis.

Provide routine care for abdominal surgery patients. For patients with large tumors, prepare sandbags to compress the abdomen to prevent shock caused by decreased abdominal pressure after surgery. For patients who need to drain ascites, prepare abdominal puncture materials and assist the doctor in completing the operation. During the drainage process, pay attention to observe the patient's reaction, changes in vital signs and the nature of the ascites. The drainage speed should not be too fast, and generally no more than 3,000 ml of ascites should be drained each time.

Regardless of whether you have had surgery or chemotherapy or not, you should follow up with traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is a whole. Although patients with malignant tumors have obvious local cancer foci, local cancer foci can invade organ tissues and affect the whole body, and the body's overall condition often affects the development of cancer foci. It can be said that in the process of tumor pathology, local lesions are closely related to the whole body and influence each other. Therefore, the treatment of tumors cannot simply focus on the treatment of local cancer foci, but should also consider overall treatment.

After reading the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the nursing measures for benign ovarian tumors. In order to restore health as soon as possible, patients are requested to do a good job of nursing.
