What are the characteristics of adolescent ovarian tumors

Ovarian tumors are not exclusive to adult women. Adolescent women can also experience ovarian tumors. In order to help adolescent women detect ovarian tumors as early as possible, let's take a look at the symptoms of these ovarian tumor patients. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Most ovarian tumors in adolescent women are benign, but the proportion of malignant tumors is also quite high, which is higher than that in other age groups. Therefore, vigilance should be increased, especially when the tumor is found to be solid, hard, and growing rapidly.

Ovarian tumors are easier to detect in adolescent girls because they are slender, narrow waisted, and have small abdominal spaces. When ovarian tumors grow, they can easily compress abdominal organs. For example, as in Xiao Yan's case, compressing the bladder can cause frequent urination. Therefore, parents should always pay attention to their daughters' waistline and abdomen, and take them to the hospital for examination in time if they find any abnormalities.

When women suffer from ovarian tumors, some may also experience symptoms such as uterine bleeding and irregular menstruation. Therefore, if these common symptoms persist and do not improve, they should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Some ovarian tumors have the function of secreting hormones. Therefore, when a girl develops very early or matures quickly (such as premature breast development, premature menstruation, premature formation of a mature female body shape, etc.), she should be taken to the hospital for examination to determine whether she has an ovarian tumor. Because this type of ovarian tumor is more malignant, the timing cannot be delayed. This type of tumor that can secrete hormones includes ovarian granulosa cell tumor, ovarian teratochoriocarcinoma, ovarian embryonal carcinoma, etc.

In addition, the pedicle of ovarian tumors in adolescent girls is generally long, and they often twist suddenly due to exercise, jumping, rotation, etc., which can cause severe abdominal pain. Therefore, if a teenage girl suddenly has severe abdominal pain, you should think of this possibility and rush her to the hospital for treatment. The above are all common phenomena in adolescent women with ovarian tumors, so everyone needs to have a simple understanding of this.
