Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital to get an IUD inserted. The ultrasound results showed a 2.4 cm fibroid in the uterus and a 6.0 cm teratoma in the left ovary.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian teratomas are common ovarian tumors, with the vast majority being benign, and only a very small number can recur as malignant. Based on the ultrasound results, the uterine fibroids are relatively small and do not require any treatment for the time being. The ovarian tumor is larger, and drug treatment is ineffective. It is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible to prevent the tumor from reversing or becoming malignant. The condition of uterine fibroids is quite serious, and it is advised that the patient receive timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, including proper diet.
