What are the symptoms of ovarian teratoma

In recent years, a certain proportion of women have ovarian teratomas. Teratomas are mostly benign and originate from potential multifunctional primitive embryonic cells. Many people may not know enough about this disease, including its causes, symptoms, care methods and precautions. The following briefly introduces relevant knowledge for you, hoping to help you understand it.

However, it is worth noting that most teratomas have no symptoms and are often discovered through B-ultrasound during physical examinations. This is also a characteristic of ovarian tumors, which often have no symptoms. Therefore, regular physical examinations are beneficial. Some teratomas can also be twisted (generally larger than 5cm), often manifested as: sudden lower abdominal pain after a change in body position, severe pain, often accompanied by vomiting, and need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. In this case, color ultrasound or CT can be used for diagnosis, and early surgical treatment is recommended. Currently, laparoscopic surgery is less traumatic and recovers faster. Therefore, teratomas are generally benign, but they can become malignant, and patients need to be closely observed.

Doctors recommend that patients avoid eating

1. Fried foods: such as fried dough sticks, fried dough twists, pancakes, dough nests, etc.

2. Puffed foods: such as popcorn, shrimp crackers, potato chips, fried peanuts, etc.

3. Spicy foods: such as raw onions, ginger, raw garlic, chili peppers, leeks, etc. (Note: they cannot be eaten raw alone, but it is okay to add some as seasoning when cooking.)

4. All kinds of pickled vegetables (called kimchi by urban people) should not be eaten, such as Chongqing Fuling pickled mustard, Sichuan winter vegetables, Jiangsu Yangzhou pickled radish, Beijing eight-treasure pickled vegetables, Guizhou single pickled vegetables, Sichuan pickled vegetables and Shanxi mixed pickled vegetables.

5. Seafood: marine fish (common marine fish include hairtail, yellow croaker, pomfret (flat fish), squid, sardines, cod, tuna, salmon, etc.), turtle, shrimp, seafood (Note: eels and loaches among freshwater fish are also not suitable for consumption.)

6. Foods that may cause irritation should not be eaten: duck meat, goose meat, mutton, dog meat, sow meat, pig head, pig offal (liver, intestines, stomach, kidney), birds, eggs, etc.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of teratoma. I hope it will be helpful to you. I also hope that patients can develop good eating habits in their daily lives and pay attention to dietary taboos. For patients with more serious conditions or those with physical abnormalities, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for professional diagnosis and treatment. I believe that the condition can be cured soon.
