The hazards of benign teratoma

Ovarian teratoma is a relatively rare disease. The manifestation of this disease is quite special, just like a malformed embryo produced in the female ovary. It behaves like a mass, and because of its special location, it is easy to cause other changes. Therefore, when there are some special features of this disease, many professional medical workers will advise patients to take effective measures to deal with it immediately. So what are the hazards of benign teratoma?

1. Causes of ovarian teratoma

At present, there is no clear answer in the medical community about the occurrence and formation of this disease. However, according to some long-term clinical medical workers and some long-term research professionals, it may be related to the human immune factors and congenital genetic factors. In addition, some physical therapy activities, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, may also cause ovarian cyst teratoma.

Second, the harm of ovarian teratoma

Ovarian cyst teratoma may cause some discomfort to the patient in the early stage, but at this time, the patient's normal life will not be disturbed too much. However, due to the special location of the disease, it may cause more serious changes in the later stage, causing peritonitis or shock due to poisoning. Therefore, when this disease is discovered, it should be treated as soon as possible.

3. Treatment of ovarian teratoma

If there are early symptoms and the disease has not spread, the best treatment is to remove it surgically. In the later stages, if the disease is already serious and has caused other complications, surgery may not be appropriate. Patients can be treated with drugs such as ifosfamide, as well as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
