In this wonderful little universe of our bodies, cells are like a group of hard-working little bees that build our organs and tissues in an orderly manner, according to precise blueprints. Sometimes, however, this sophisticated project also has some unexpected “minus cases”, such as primitive reproductive cells. In general, primitive reproductive cells tend to develop into sperm and eggs, and degenerative neoplasms occur when certain cells appear in an incorrect position or are unable to work properly.
I. Is a degenerative tumor a freak?
The ovarian deformoma is the most common ovarian tumour, and although it does look strange, it does not appear to be a ecstasy. The shape of a teratoma, which is like a big chord, is likely to see both hair, teeth, bones that are supposed to be in particular parts of our bodies, and all sorts of components, including grease, neurons, etc. So, when doctors cut down the terraformoma, it was as if they saw a reduced version of the “human world”, which was amazing.
II. Is a degenerative tumor good or bad?
Depending on the composition of the teratoma, it can be divided into two main types, mature and premature. Most of the components of mature deformity are those that are already differentiated, similar to normal human tissues, which are relatively “temporal” and benign. The premature deformity is different, as it contains a number of cells that are not fully divided, with a high degree of virulence and a high degree of re-emergence.
What are the “problems” of ovarian deformities?
Although the name teratoma sounds a little scary, the effects on the human body vary according to the size, nature, stratification and classification of the tumor. Some malignomas may have been in the body for a long time without the owner knowing it existed. However, with the growth of the degenerative tumor, its “power” became increasingly apparent. For example, pelvic organ tissues, such as tubal tubes, uterus and so forth, may be repressed, leading to a series of symptoms such as stomach pain, abdominal swelling and abdominal water. There are also signs of lower abdominal pockets, abdominal pain, menstruation, gastrointestinal symptoms, etc. The greater the likelihood of acute abdominal pain, due to ovarian cystal reversal, internal tumour haemorrhage, necrosis, break-ups or secondary infections, is a serious threat to life.
How can this “mysterious visitor” be found?
Now that a teratoma can cause us so much trouble, how can we find it? The examination is an effective means of detecting degenerative tumours, and it is important to have regular gynaecology check-ups, so that hidden degenerative tumours can be “ticked out” by means of gynaecology ultrasound, CT and MRI. In addition, there is some guidance for ovarian aberrations, with varying degrees of increase in tumor markers such as CA125, CA199, CEA, AFP and NSE.
How to deal with this little monster?
Once a teratoma is found, there’s no need to be too scared. Surgery is the most effective method for most mature deformities, and doctors can cut them from our bodies. In the case of premature malformations, in addition to surgical cuts, there may be a need to cooperate with treatments such as chemotherapy to ensure its complete elimination, depending on the stage, grade and transfer.
Fortunately, 95 per cent of the malformations are benign, so there’s no need to be too afraid of malformations. We need to strengthen physical activity, develop healthy living habits, conduct periodic physical inspections and detect physical anomalies in a timely manner.
