The secret to preventing and treating teratoma

Teratoma is a benign gynecological disease. Ovarian teratoma is a tumor that grows in the ovarian tissue and is formed by the abnormal proliferation and aggregation of germ cells. It can be seen in women of any age and is a common gynecological disease. What are the tips for preventing and treating teratoma?

Prevention of 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.

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.

treat

The best treatment for this disease is surgical resection. During the operation, the contents of the cyst should be removed as much as possible, and the cyst wall should be removed as much as possible. The part of the cyst wall that is tightly adhered to the spinal cord or nerve root should not be removed forcibly. For intraspinal malignant teratomas, the comprehensive treatment plan of surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy still needs further study.

Prognosis

The prognosis of benign teratomas after surgical resection is also good. The prognosis of carcinoid tumors produced by mature teratomas in the spinal canal is still unclear. If their biological behavior has malignant characteristics, surgical resection should be followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, which improves the short-term efficacy, but the long-term efficacy is still uncertain.

Experts remind: Women should participate in gynecological examinations regularly. Now some units only organize married women to participate in gynecological examinations, but in fact all women of childbearing age should participate in gynecological examinations, especially B-ultrasound examinations, to nip the tumor in the bud or early stage. Mothers should often touch their children's stomachs, and teenagers, women and middle-aged and elderly women should also often touch their abdomens to see if there are lumps. After finding a lump, no matter how big or small it is, whether it hurts or not, you should seek medical attention in time. The best way to touch is: 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 side. If the lump is found to be a hard foreign body, it is suspected to be a tumor. Once a teratoma is found, doctors recommend removal.
