Patient's question:
After I got pregnant, I only found out about the ovarian teratoma. Now I'm considering whether to stop and give birth, so I can focus on getting pregnant again. If I focus on getting pregnant and have the ovarian teratoma surgery, will the anesthesia interfere with the baby?What kind of help I need: If I already have an ovarian teratoma while pregnant, what should I pay attention to?
Doctor's answer:
Teratomas will grow larger as the fetus develops, causing the uterus to expand. This may compress the tumor, leading to rupture and tearing, and could also harm the fetus. Additionally, teratomas may interfere with the fetus's growth and development, potentially resulting in miscarriage and premature birth.If you discover a teratoma after becoming pregnant, it is necessary to undergo risk testing. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, if the teratoma poses a threat to your life, it may be necessary to consider sacrificing the child. It is recommended to consult with a doctor and consider treatment options based on your specific situation.
The above advice is for the question "Already pregnant with an ovarian teratoma." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
