Patient's question:
My mother is 66 years old this year. She has had difficulty urinating since last year, wanting to urinate but unable to do so. During an ultrasound examination at the county people's hospital, it was found that there were foreign bodies in the uterine appendages. This year, during a color Doppler ultrasound examination at the city people's hospital, it was found that there was a slightly strong echo mass in the right adnexal region. The result was a teratoma, measuring 2.6x2.6 cm. The elderly also suffers from pain in both legs.Doctor's answer:
Tumors that are small and asymptomatic can be observed without treatment. If the tumor is larger, symptomatic, or suspected of malignancy, surgical resection should be performed. If there is a secondary infection, antibiotics should be administered to control the infection before surgical resection. If this condition becomes malignant, it is not sensitive to radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
