This is a question that many people want to know very much. Let us take a closer look at it below.

Will teratoma affect female life expectancy? In fact, this disease will not affect people's life expectancy, but the most important thing is to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time after discovering that you are suffering from the disease. This way, the disease can be nipped in the bud and it will bring benefits to human health.

Patients with ovarian teratoma should choose surgical treatment. The scope of surgery can include resection of the affected side adnex, removal of the affected side teratoma and (or) biopsy of the contralateral ovary. The surgical method can be laparoscopic or laparotomy. The benign or malignant nature of the teratoma can be preliminarily determined based on the intraoperative findings. If it is suspected to be a malignant tumor, it should be sent for frozen pathology examination as soon as possible. Malignant teratoma should also undergo complete staging surgery as much as possible. During the operation, the pelvic cavity is fully explored, the greater omentum and peritoneum are removed, and lymph node biopsy is performed to understand the scope of tumor infiltration and the degree of involvement of various organs and tissues. For young patients with malignant teratoma who have fertility requirements, surgery to preserve fertility can be considered.

In summary, although this disease will not affect people's life span, it is also important to pay attention to timely treatment after the disease is discovered. In particular, patients with ovarian teratoma often experience breathing difficulties due to the compression of the teratoma, especially the mediastinal teratoma, leading to choking and jugular vein distension. Some patients often have difficulty defecating due to compression of the pelvic cavity and sacrum. These phenomena need attention.
