There are many types of ovarian tumors, with 70 to 80 types, ranking the most among all female organ tumors. It can occur at any age, but most occurs in women of childbearing age.
Ovarian tumors can be divided into benign and malignant. Two-thirds of benign tumors occur in women aged 20 to 49, while less than two-thirds of malignant tumors occur in young and old women. In addition, there are some cysts called ovarian tumor-like lesions. Most of them are functional and the size does not exceed about 10 cm in diameter. They can grow automatically or be absorbed and disappear naturally. Therefore, they are mostly examined in gynecological clinics. It was discovered when it was discovered, but after a period of time, it no longer existed when it was checked again. Because it is often asymptomatic and does not require treatment, it is often ignored. It is only when the cyst ruptures or pedicle torsion occurs, causing acute abdominal pain that you start to pay attention.
Ovarian tumor treatment generally relies on surgery. The surgical treatment plan is generally determined based on factors such as age, future fertility, nature of the tumor, and its size. If it is malignant, the general principle is to remove the uterus and both ovaries, so that the patient will lose fertility after surgery. If it is benign, the ovary on the diseased side can be removed entirely, while the healthy ovary on the contralateral side can be retained. The cyst can also be partially removed and the cortical part of the ovary can be retained. Menstruation can still occur in the future and pregnancy can be carried out like a normal woman without losing the beauty of the female body. This is because if one ovary is removed, the other ovary is retained, while only the tumor part of the affected side is removed, and the ovarian cortex is retained, and its function is still retained.
