Patient's question:
The child hasn't had their menstrual cycle for these past few months, and their abdominal pain has been frequently occurring. I thought it might be a problem with the uterus, but now it's found that a tumor has grown in the ovaries, and the cancer cells are still spreading to other parts. The situation is a bit serious.Doctor's answer:
If the ovarian tumor is benign, the situation is better, but no matter what, it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Benign teratomas have a good prognosis with surgical treatment, and it is feasible to preserve fertility in adolescent patients. Malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary are highly sensitive to chemotherapy, and children also have a better tolerance to chemotherapy compared to adults. Therefore, the chemotherapy regimen should be selected based on the histological type. In daily life, avoid cold and irritating foods, and get more rest.
