How is an ovarian teratoma treated?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Tumor discovered in September: 4.43.9, follow-up in January: a mixed mass of size 5.75.14.9mm observed on the right side of the uterus. The boundary is unclear. Contains light clusters and silent areas, with star-like blood flow visible around it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of removing the ovary and removing the tumor? Does the growth rate of the tumor relate to its nature (benign or malignant)?

Doctor's answer:

The principle of ovarian cyst treatment is surgical treatment and follow-up observation. For young women who have not given birth, with small tumors, whether bilateral or unilateral, ovarian tumor excision should be performed as much as possible. For larger tumors, efforts should also be made to preserve a part of the ovarian cortex to maintain the patient's fertility. Prevention involves annual general screening and treatment, as well as strengthening health care. Fees vary by region.
