Teratoma is a common disease among women. If women do not receive timely treatment after suffering from this disease, the impact will be very great, and may also affect women's fertility. Therefore, timely treatment after discovering that you have the disease is the key. So which department should you go to in the hospital? This is the most entangled problem for women.

Which department should I go to for teratoma? Women can choose to go to a gynecological hospital, and then decide according to the specific situation of the doctor. Teratoma is also a gynecological disease. Teratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor. It originates from germ cells and is divided into mature teratoma (i.e. benign teratoma) and immature teratoma (malignant teratoma). Benign teratoma contains many kinds of components, including skin, hair, teeth, bones, oil, nerve tissue, etc.; malignant teratoma is poorly differentiated, with no or little formed tissue and unclear structure. Early teratoma has no obvious clinical symptoms and is mostly discovered accidentally during physical examination.

Ovarian teratoma has a high incidence of metastasis. The metastasis spreads along the peritoneum. Common metastatic sites include the pelvic and abdominal peritoneum, greater omentum, liver surface, diaphragm, intestines and mesentery. Most metastatic lesions are surface implants. Lymph node metastasis is not uncommon.

In fact, teratoma is a common disease in women. The cause of teratoma is currently unknown and there is no effective prevention method. The key is to do regular pelvic examinations to achieve early diagnosis and early treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that women need to go to the hospital for regular examinations to better understand their own health conditions, so as to better prevent diseases.
