Definition of ovarian tumor disease

Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female genitals, and ovarian malignant tumors are one of the three major malignant tumors of the female genitals. The 5-year survival rate is still low, about 25-30%, and it is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives. The following is a detailed introduction for everyone, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

1. Characteristics and clinical manifestations

1. Benign ovarian tumor: It develops slowly, is small in the early stage, and is usually asymptomatic. It cannot be palpated in the abdomen and is usually found during gynecological examinations. When it grows to a medium size, there is often a feeling of abdominal distension or a mass in the abdomen. When it grows to fill the pelvic and abdominal cavities, compression symptoms may occur.

2. Malignant tumors: There are often no symptoms in the early stages. Once symptoms appear, they manifest as abdominal distension, abdominal masses, and ascites.

2. Health Education Behavior Guidance Program

1. Regular screening can often detect ovarian tumors in time. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Malignant ovarian tumors should be treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.

2. Follow-up observation: Cysts with a diameter of less than 5 cm are mostly functional cysts, most of which can disappear on their own and can be followed up closely, but must be followed up regularly.

3. Patients with the following conditions require surgical treatment: If the cyst continues to grow, especially if it is larger than 5 cm, or if there is sudden paroxysmal colic in the lower abdomen, it may be a tumor cyst or the cyst may have twisted or ruptured. In this case, surgical exploration should be performed to determine whether it is benign or malignant. If necessary, surgical resection should be performed, and appropriate chemotherapy or radiotherapy should be used based on the pathological results to determine whether it is benign or malignant.

3. Treatment Methods

It includes drug treatment and surgical treatment. Drug treatment is generally not effective, so surgical treatment is often chosen clinically. That is, traditional laparotomy and laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery can treat almost all gynecological surgeries except caesarean sections, and it has small trauma, less bleeding, less pain, faster recovery, shorter hospitalization time, and the abdominal wall is as smooth as before after surgery.
