What tests are needed to confirm whether it is teratoma?

The first step for this disease is to do a CA125 test, which can be confirmed by B-ultrasound combined with CT. B ultrasound is necessary, teratoma is a germ cell tumor of the ovary, which often has some bones, teeth, hair and other calcified components, if the tumor grows, it is very dangerous to twist, malignant transformation or even rupture, and we must pay more attention to the disease of the disease.

Teratomas are rare and are composed of two or three embryonic components, including bone, cartilage, teeth, hair, and fat. Teratomas are divided into cystic and solid according to their gross structural characteristics, and benign and malignant according to the degree of tissue differentiation.

With the continuous development of medical standards and examination equipment, imaging examination methods are also more abundant. Ultrasonography, CT, and MRI are commonly used examination methods. B-ultrasound and MRI are non-invasive examinations, and MR examinations are contraindicated for metal devices (such as pacemakers, metal valves, vascular stents, etc.) installed in the body.

CT is a technique that uses X-ray examination, which has a certain biological effect on the human body, but it does not need to be considered for general routine examination. After these tests, the human body does not feel any pain or pain.

For imaging examinations, ultrasonography is done first, that is, B-ultrasound or color ultrasound. It doesn't hurt.

CT is fine, you lie down, it's like doing an X-ray, it's a painless, non-damaging examination.

CT, puncture or direct surgery.

CT is painless. Just lie there and you're good to go.

Ultrasonography can be left out because ultrasonography is also inconclusive.

It's a bit worrying to be honest if you don't go for a check-up for so long, because you don't know what your body is really like, so it's best not to delay.

What is teratomaTeratoma is a common type of ovarian germ cell tumor, ** germ cells, according to the benign and malignant teratoma of teratoma, it is divided into malignant teratoma and benign teratoma.

Benign teratomas have many components, including bones, teeth, and hair sebum. Malignant teratomas are immaturely differentiated, and teratomas can be distributed in most parts of the body, and can even grow in the skull, with different tissues in each part and different methods of examination. Brain CT examination can be done in the skull, gastroscopy can be done in the stomach, teratoma drugs are ineffective, teratoma needs to be operated on, and pathological examination can be done after surgery, which can accurately distinguish between benign and malignant tumors.

How teratomas form reedsThe first cause of immunity, women with these diseases often combine with autoimmune diseases, so that antibodies to the ovaries are detected in the blood.

The second genetic cause, due to the relatively small number of congenital germ cells, will accelerate the atresia of the follicle, resulting in an abnormality of the X chromosome, which will be passed on to the next generation.

The third reason for endocrine insufficiency, if female estrogen is relatively deficient, the androgen secretion of the underlying ovaries will be insufficient, which will cause mild defects in the ability of the adrenal glands to produce body steroid hormones, and small ovaries or ovarian teratomas often occur under laparoscopy.

Fourthly, improper surgery or infection will affect the secretion of gonadal hormones, which may reduce or may promote or even cause post-receptor defects, which is also the cause of ovarian teratoma.

Is teratoma serious?If the teratoma grows to 5-7 cm, due to the smooth surface and uneven distribution of the material in the sac, it often leads to twisting of the pedicle of the ovarian cyst, and the patient will have severe abdominal pain or paroxysmal abdominal pain. If torsion takes too long, it may lead to necrosis of the ovary, so the tumor may have to be removed along with the ovary on the affected side.

So are teratomas serious? When the tumor is small in size, it does not affect the normal life of the patient, and it is not serious. If the tumor is relatively large, one is that it is easy to cause the cyst to twist and rupture.

In addition, about 3% of teratomas of the sensitive type are malignant, and from this point of view, they are serious. Therefore, once the diagnosis of ovarian teratoma is confirmed, it should be removed as soon as possible to clarify the nature of the tumor before deciding on the next step of treatment.
