Removal of a 20cm ovarian cyst for a 15-year-old patient.
Dr. Doan Thi Thuy Ha stated: This is one of the rare cases because the young patient has a large ovarian tumor equivalent to a 7-month pregnancy. With large ovarian tumors, if not detected and surgically treated early, the tumor will continue to grow, causing the patient to experience abdominal heaviness, and the tumor compresses nearby organs such as the bladder, rectum, and colon, leading to frequent urination, multiple daily urinations, persistent constipation, poor appetite, compression of the aorta and veins, increased abdominal pressure causing difficulty breathing, pain… affecting the patient’s health, quality of life, and reproductive function. If a large tumor ruptures due to impact or trauma, it can cause bleeding and fluid in the abdominal cavity, leading to peritonitis, abdominal infection, and life-threatening situations.
Through the case of patient V.K, experts recommend that because ovarian cysts are becoming increasingly common in younger individuals, women of childbearing age and those in menopause should have regular gynecological check-ups to detect, diagnose, and treat abnormal tumors early, to avoid allowing the tumor to grow large or develop malignant complications that affect health and life. When experiencing significant abdominal pain or a weak body but with an unusually large abdomen,You need to go to the hospital immediately to be examined and consulted by the doctors.
