Briefly describe the basic causes of teratoma

Speaking of teratoma, I believe you will show an expression that you have never heard of it. After all, this is a disease that is not very common in life. Experts say that teratoma deteriorates quickly, and we should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible when we find it. So, what is the cause of teratoma?

There are several main risk factors:

1. Compression: A huge benign ovarian cyst fills the entire abdominal cavity, increasing the intra-abdominal pressure, affecting the venous return of the lower limbs, and can lead to edema of the abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs.

2. Lower abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, the patient rarely experiences pain. If there is pain, it is definitely due to the torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to tumor rupture, bleeding or infection.

3. Unexplained discomfort in the lower abdomen: Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

Once a teratoma is diagnosed, early surgical resection is necessary to prevent the malignant transformation of benign teratoma due to delayed surgery, and to prevent infection, rupture, bleeding and complications. The key point of teratoma surgery is to completely remove the tumor (a tumor is an abnormal lesion formed by the loss of normal regulation of the growth of a cell in a local tissue at the genetic level under the action of various carcinogenic factors, resulting in its clonal abnormal proliferation). For ovarian and testicular tumors, one ovary or testicle is removed. For sacrococcygeal teratoma, it is emphasized that the coccyx must be removed at the same time to avoid residual pluripotent cells and tumor recurrence.

The above is an explanation of the causes of teratoma, I hope it will be helpful to you. Experts suggest that we should not be afraid of this disease, because fear cannot solve any problems. Only by being strong and actively fighting the disease can we regain our health.
