Patient's question:
My sister was found to have an ovarian tumor. The doctor said she needs to have surgery to remove it, so now she is very worried about whether the surgery will be successful. I want to ask if this is a major surgery?Doctor's answer:
If it is an ovarian tumor, the majority are more likely to be benign. Generally, such surgery is not very risky, but it is prone to recurrence postoperatively. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted after the surgery, and a healthy lifestyle should be maintained, including appropriate exercise to enhance physical fitness, keeping a positive mood, avoiding overly spicy foods and foods high in estrogen, such as soy milk and honey. For patients, if the ovarian tumor condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of the ovarian tumor. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and always stay in a good mood.
