Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 23 years old. Over the past month, she has experienced irregular vaginal bleeding with a small amount of discharge and has had abdominal bloating 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, with dimensions of 8.45 cm x 5.60 cm x 8.41 cm.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.
