What to do if teratoma recurs again

Teratoma is a tumor that grows in the germ cells of the ovary. It originates from the germ cells and can be mainly divided into mature teratomas and immature teratomas. Mature teratomas are generally benign teratomas, and immature teratomas are malignant teratomas. After their occurrence, they are harmful to your health and you should seek medical treatment in time. The following mainly introduces what you should do if teratoma recurs?

Teratoma is a tumor formed by mutation of immature germ cells in the human body. It most commonly occurs in the ovaries and can occur at any age. It is not transformed from a fertilized egg. Benign teratomas are more common, and malignant ones only account for about 1%. Because teratomas are similar to normal human tissues, but the structure is disordered and a bit like a malformed fetus, they are called teratomas.
Teratoma has become more common in recent years, accounting for about 50% of female infertility. This disease is not limited by age, and women of childbearing age are all likely to develop teratoma. The center of the teratoma is biased to one side and is located higher, so it is easy to twist. If the tumor is not treated in time after the disease, it is easy to soften and increase tension, leading to cyst rupture, and the contents flow into the abdominal cavity, causing severe peritonitis. Therefore, it should be surgically removed as soon as possible after the disease. There is still a possibility of recurrence after surgery.
The high recurrence rate of teratoma is due to the fact that the first operation was not done completely, leaving part of the cyst wall tissue. At this time, surgical treatment should continue. Secondly, it is caused by the re-growth of tumors from other different germ layer tissues in the ovaries. It can be said that as long as the ovaries exist, teratoma will recur. It can be seen that the recurrence rate of this disease is very high.
The above is an introduction to the problem of teratoma recurrence. The recurrence rate of this disease is really high. As long as the teratoma still exists, it may recur. Therefore, after surgical treatment, conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is recommended. Check every six months to one year after surgery to detect the recurrence of the disease in time, and then seek medical treatment for treatment in time.
