How to prevent teratoma in daily life

How should we prevent teratomas in daily life? The prevention of teratomas mainly involves regular physical examinations, early detection, early treatment, and follow-up after treatment. Generally, if it is a mature ovarian teratoma, the prevention is relatively good, with normal menstruation and normal pregnancy rate. If it is an immature ovarian teratoma, the prognosis is not very ideal. In this case, the chance of malignant transformation is high, and there is a risk of recurrence. 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 kill the tumor in the bud or early stage.

The following aspects should be noted in the prevention of teratoma:

1. Female friends should pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, and sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited during menstruation and after childbirth. The vulva and vagina should be kept clean.

2. To prevent ovarian teratoma, women should pay attention to their daily diet. Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances. People who smoke and drink for a long time are very likely to have an acidic constitution. Women should eat more light food, lean meat, eggs, chicken and fish, etc. Do not eat too much salty and spicy food, and do not eat overheated, overcooled, expired or spoiled food.

3. Maintain a good mood, relieve stress appropriately, combine work and rest, and avoid excessive fatigue. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress leads to physical weakness due to overwork, which in turn causes decreased immune function, endocrine disorders, metabolic disorders in the body, and the deposition of acidic substances in the body. Stress can also lead to mental tension, causing qi stagnation, blood stasis, and internal toxic fire.

4. Strengthening physical exercise and improving physical fitness can also effectively prevent ovarian teratoma. Exercising more in the sun and sweating more can excrete acidic substances in the body with sweat to avoid the formation of an acidic physique.

5. Live a regular life. People with irregular living habits and those who stay up late will aggravate the acidification of the body and easily cause ovarian cysts.

6. Conduct regular screenings to detect and diagnose early and treat early. If ovarian abnormalities are found but cannot be confirmed, regular follow-up is required. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Malignant ovarian tumors should be treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine.

Warm reminder: 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: 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.
