Patient's question:
My mother is 66 years old this year. She has had difficulty urinating since last year, feeling the urge to urinate but unable to do so. During a B examination at the county People's Hospital, it was found that there were foreign bodies in the uterine appendages. This year, during a color Doppler ultrasound examination at the city People's Hospital, a slightly strong echo mass was detected in the right adnexal region. The result was a teratoma, measuring 2.6x2.6 cm. The elderly woman also experiences pain in both legs.Doctor's answer:
Tumors that are small and asymptomatic can be observed without treatment. If the tumor is larger, symptomatic, or suspected of malignancy, surgical resection should be performed. If there is a secondary infection, antibiotics should be given to control the infection before surgical resection. If this condition is malignant, it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The occurrence of gynecological tumors not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a leukorrhea test in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and treat accordingly. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
