Why does teratoma grow

The cause of teratoma is abnormal embryonic development during the fetal embryonic period, which is generally congenital. Therefore, factors that are harmful to the growth and development of the fetus may lead to teratoma. Therefore, expectant mothers must avoid some hazards when they are pregnant. For example, radiation, secondhand smoke, drugs, tobacco and alcohol are not conducive to the growth and development of the fetus. In addition, they must ensure balanced nutrition and a happy and relaxed mood. In short, strong prenatal education is a good protection for the baby. It is necessary to attach importance to prenatal examinations. Regular pregnancy examinations are a means of detecting the development of the fetus.

How teratoma is formed

Reason 1: Genetic factors. If there is a history of this type of disease in your family, the chance of developing teratoma will greatly increase. This situation is related to genetics.

Reason 2: Eating habits, living habits and other factors. If you have irregular eating habits, abnormal eating habits, or do not pay attention to your hygiene in life, this situation will occur. It can be seen that good living habits are very important!

Reason 3: Compression: The huge benign ovarian cyst fills the entire abdominal cavity, increasing the intra-abdominal pressure and affecting the venous return of the lower limbs, which can lead to edema of the abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs.

Reason 4: Lower abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, the patient rarely experiences pain symptoms. If there is pain, it is definitely caused by the torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection.

Reason 5: Unexplained discomfort in the lower abdomen: Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

Reason 6: Ectopic tumors of embryonic tissue in the spinal canal are developed from the germ layer cells that remain during embryonic development. According to different tissue structures, they can be divided into epidermoid cysts, dermoid cysts, teratoid cysts and teratomas. The first two are formed by ectoderm tissue. Teratomas contain 3 germ layer structures, while teratoid cysts contain 2 germ layer structures.

The above is an explanation of the causes of teratoma, I hope it will be helpful to you. We should not be afraid of this disease, because fear cannot solve any problems. Only by being strong and actively fighting the disease can we regain our health.
