Several small methods to prevent teratoma

Women should take regular gynecological examinations. Some units now only organize married women to take gynecological examinations, but in fact all women of childbearing age should take gynecological examinations, especially B-ultrasound examinations, to nip tumors in the bud.

Prevention measures for teratoma:

Women should take part in gynecological examinations regularly. Some units now only organize married women to take part in gynecological examinations, but in fact all women of childbearing age should take part in gynecological examinations, especially B-ultrasound examinations, to nip tumors in the bud or in the early stages.

Mothers should often touch their children's stomachs. Teenagers, women and middle-aged and elderly women should also often touch their own abdomens to see if there are any lumps. After finding a lump, no matter how big or small it is or whether it hurts, you should seek medical attention immediately. The best way to touch is to get up in the morning, empty your bladder, lie flat, bend your legs slightly, and touch from one side of the lower abdomen to the other. If the lump is a hard foreign body, it is suspected to be a tumor.

The prognosis of teratoma is closely related to factors such as the age of first diagnosis, tumor location, incidence of malignant transformation, and treatment results. The younger the age of first diagnosis, the lower the incidence of malignancy. Among them, the malignancy rate of occult teratoma is the highest, reaching 71.4%; the mixed type is 46.7%, and the overt type is only 9.4%.

Complete removal of the tumor and reduction of postoperative recurrence and malignant transformation are another major prognostic factor for teratoma. Even for malignant teratoma, complete surgical resection is still the basic guarantee for long-term survival. At present, the three-year survival rate of comprehensive treatment after complete resection of malignant teratoma can reach 50%, and the five-year survival rate is 35%, while the survival rate of residual or recurrent tumors during surgery is only 3%. Among them, the survival rate of malignant teratomas in parts that are easy to completely remove, such as testicles and ovaries, is significantly higher than that of retroperitoneal and sacrococcygeal malignant teratomas. Among them, the prognosis of occult sacrococcygeal malignant teratomas is the worst, with a survival rate of only 8%.

The above is the specific content of the preventive measures for teratoma. The prevention of any disease does not mean that the disease will not occur 100%. Therefore, when teratoma appears, we should face it calmly, not complain or worry, but actively accept treatment. In addition, in the treatment of teratoma, people often use surgery, so we should also know more about the nursing work after surgery. I wish you good health.
