Dull abdominal pain, hospitalized, doctor discovered large ovarian tumor

Female patient PT (21 years old, in Ho Chi Minh City) was admitted to the hospital with a dull abdominal pain. Through clinical examination and ultrasound, doctors discovered a large left ovarian tumor.

On September 6, specialist doctor Le Dang Dai, Department of Obstetrics, Le Van Viet Hospital said that although the tumor was benign, with a size of 10 cm, the patient was at risk of twisting or rupturing the tumor, endangering his health as well as his fertility. The image showed that the cyst occupied almost the entire lower abdomen through an endoscope.

The hospital’s surgical team performed laparoscopic surgery, completely removing the tumor and preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible. After the surgery, the patient’s health was stable, she recovered well and was discharged from the hospital.

Specialist Doctor Le Dang Dai, Department of Obstetrics, Le Van Viet Hospital said that ovarian cysts are a fairly common disease in women. Most cysts are benign. The surgical method will depend on many factors such as the size of the tumor, the patient's condition... In which, laparoscopic surgery is often chosen in the treatment of ovarian tumors to ensure safety and preserve the patient's reproductive function.

"Women of reproductive age should have regular gynecological examinations to detect and screen for ovarian tumors early. Delayed detection can lead to dangerous complications such as torsion, rupture, or in some cases, affect the pregnancy due to the need for surgical intervention during pregnancy," Dr. Dai advised.
