Pelvic cystic mass

Pelvic cystic and solid mass is an ovarian tumor, which is a common symptom among women. There are two main types of ovarian tumors: benign ovarian tumors and malignant ovarian tumors. No matter what kind of tumor it is, it needs to be treated promptly with appropriate methods. In addition, if you have ovarian tumors, you need to pay more attention to your diet. Next, I will introduce to you the treatment methods and dietary precautions for ovarian tumors!

1. Treatment of benign ovarian tumors

Young women who have not given birth should try their best to undergo ovarian tumor resection. Part of the ovarian tissue is retained, and for unilateral cases, the affected side can be removed by adnexes and oophorectomy. The contralateral ovary must be examined during surgery. Perimenopausal women should undergo total hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy.

Treatment of malignant ovarian tumors

1. Surgical treatment: The scope of surgery depends on the tumor stage. In stage 1, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy can be performed. Patients with stage 2 or above should undergo tumor cell reduction surgery as much as possible. For patients in the advanced stage, metastatic lesions should be removed as much as possible. For young patients, preservation of the contralateral ovary may be considered. The conditions for preserving the ovaries are as follows: (1) the tumor is well differentiated in stage 1a, and (2) the tumor is borderline or low-grade. (3) No tumor was found in the contralateral ovary during the operation. (4) Close follow-up is possible after surgery.

2. Chemotherapy: It is the main auxiliary treatment measure for ovarian cancer. Ovarian malignant tumors are more sensitive to chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can be used to prevent recurrence and can also be used for those whose tumors cannot be completely removed by surgery. For patients with advanced stage who cannot undergo surgery, chemotherapy can shrink the tumor. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs include cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, fluorouracil, vincristine, etc. Generally, combination therapy is used. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy can control ascites and eliminate small lesions.

3. Radiotherapy: It is an auxiliary treatment for surgery and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy can shrink the lesions and relieve symptoms. Commonly used radiotherapy methods include external radiation therapy and internal radiation therapy.

3. Diet and health care

1. Under the guidance of a gynecologist, take medicines that nourish the liver and kidneys and replenish the essence and blood, such as Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Yam medicine.

2. Eat more fruits, vegetables, soy products and other foods rich in vitamins and phytoestrogens.

3. Drink milk regularly and eat more foods rich in protein and minerals, including fish and shrimp. The above is about how to treat ovarian tumors with diet.
