Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 23 years old. Over the past month, she has experienced irregular vaginal bleeding and abdominal distension for several days. Today, she was diagnosed with a teratoma at the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University. The left adnexal region showed cystic echoes, measuring 8.45 x 5.60 x 8.41.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it does affect pregnancy. After surgery, it is generally not likely to recur because dermoid cysts are congenital diseases, not formed later in life. Therefore, if they are removed completely, they will not recur. However, if there is any residual tissue, it may grow back larger. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological ultrasound examination at the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
