Can I get pregnant if I have a benign teratoma?

Can I get pregnant with a benign teratoma? Generally speaking, the prognosis of immature teratoma is poor. Surgery cannot guarantee that it will be completely and cleanly eliminated, and there is a risk of recurrence. However, the prognosis of benign teratoma is better. The possibility of malignant transformation is only 2 to 3%. It does not affect ovarian function. After surgery, menstruation is normal, the pregnancy rate is normal, and there is no problem of recurrence.

Teratoma grows on the ovary and is very destructive to the ovarian tissue, causing the ovary to not ovulate and not get pregnant. If the other ovary is normal, you can still get pregnant. It is suggested that the teratoma may become malignant or is a malignant lesion itself. If confirmed, surgery is required as soon as possible. Even if it is retained, the ovarian tissue on the affected side is also destroyed and ovulation generally does not occur.

If it is a mature teratoma, it is a benign tumor that grows slowly and will not affect the fetus. The tumor can be removed surgically at a later date after delivery. If it is tightly adhered to the left ovary, the left ovary needs to be removed. Generally, there will be no recurrence after surgery. If it is a malignant teratoma, it needs to be closely observed. It is recommended to remove the tumor first and then get pregnant later.

Among various types of ovarian tumors, there is a type of tumor that contains hair, teeth, bones and fat, which we call ovarian teratoma. Ovarian teratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor. It is not evolved after a woman becomes pregnant with a freak, but is derived from the abnormal proliferation of germ cells. It is a tumor that grows in the ovarian tissue and is formed by the abnormal proliferation and aggregation of germ cells. Because germ cells contain three types of tissue components of the human body, ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, the tumor will contain ectoderm tissues such as hair, fat, skin, teeth, and bone pieces, and may also contain mesoderm or endoderm tissues such as muscle, gastrointestinal, and thyroid tissues.
