Is teratoma the same as ovarian cyst

Are teratomas the same as ovarian cysts? Experts say they are not the same. How to diagnose and treat ovarian cysts in women is a question that female friends are very concerned about. Teratomas and ovarian cysts are very similar, so they need to be examined by professional medical institutions before they can be treated and judged. We can judge based on the characteristics, symptoms, population and other aspects of the disease, and we can also use instruments for reasonable diagnosis and treatment. Teratomas are mostly related to genetics, while ovarian cysts are associated with lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased leucorrhea, and yellow leucorrhea.

How to distinguish between teratoma and ovarian cyst:

First of all, we need to consider the genetic aspect. Teratomas are mostly related to genetics. The incidence rate is higher among ovarian tumors, and it is generally benign, so there is no need to worry too much. However, the ovaries are located in the abdomen of the female body. Ovarian cysts are generally caused by inattention, so we need to overcome some bad habits in life. Another thing is that we need to observe daily. There is a solid and painless mass in the lower abdomen, and sometimes sexual intercourse will cause pain. This may be an ovarian cyst and needs to be treated in the hospital.

Secondly, we can confirm the diagnosis through gynecological examination or B-ultrasound examination. Lower abdominal distension and pain, lumps when touched, accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, yellow color and foul smell, heavy or light menstruation, so we need to do relevant examinations for further diagnosis, while the examination of teratoma does not require very complicated examinations, and the specific operation still needs to be reasonably carried out according to the actual situation of the patient.

Another reason is that the causes of the disease are different. The main cause of ovarian cysts is that mature follicles cannot be discharged for some reason, resulting in the retention of fluid secreted by the granulosa cells in the follicles, and the blood vessels in the theca layer rupture for some reason, and blood enters the follicular cavity to form follicular hematoma, and then the blood cells dissolve, and fluid retention forms. However, the cause of ovarian teratoma is that it is formed by the co-development of a mature or immature complete embryo and the ovary, so it is different.

In addition, women who have been diagnosed should rest in bed, be closely observed, and take Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and appropriately add heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs. If there is excessive internal bleeding and symptoms of shock, and the condition is critical, surgery should be performed immediately to avoid delaying treatment.
