It is recommended to go to a regular hospital's gynecology department for a color Doppler ultrasound and undergo surgery. Teratomas need to be surgically removed in a timely manner. After surgery, it is important to keep the wound dry and clean. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy foods, and eating more fruits, vegetables, and high-protein foods to boost the immune system. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
