Patient's question:
Hello, my wife is 36 years old and has never had children. She has fallopian tube issues and does not want children. My wife had surgery for an ovarian teratoma and cyst in April. Today's physical examination revealed that there are still cysts, described as 3738 in size. Please provide specific guidance.The day before yesterday, the physical examination said they were bilateral and very large, described as the size of a fist. Could it be that it's just one cut? If it continues to grow, what should I do? It's not a solution. Can't it be cured? If the entire ovary is removed, what would be the consequences? Thank you.
Additional question: The gynecological examination said it was a cyst. Today, when I went to the hospital to see the report, it was 3738. In April.
Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common and frequently occurring disease among women, belonging to a type of benign ovarian tumor. They can occur at any age, but are generally more common in middle-aged women. They are divided into: benign ovarian tumors such as serous cystadenoma, mucinous cystadenoma, and benign cystic teratoma. The cause of ovarian tumors remains unclear to this day. Among the pathogenic factors of ovarian cancer, environmental and endocrine influences are most emphasized. As far as the current situation is known, the cause of ovarian cancer is multifactorial, including genetic, environmental, hormonal, and viral factors. Generally, surgical treatment is the primary approach. If possible, surgery can remove the cyst; if not, the ovary may be removed. There is no need to worry about the remaining ovary, as it has little impact on the body. Do not be too anxious.
