What should be avoided after ovarian teratoma surgery? The best treatment for patients with ovarian teratoma is surgery, but many patients do not have good postoperative care, which will make the prognosis of surgery very poor. Therefore, it is not advisable for the patient to exercise vigorously to the left about one month after operation, otherwise it is likely to lead to the wound rupture and bleeding again. In terms of diet, patients can eat more anti-cancer foods.
The most common anti-cancer foods are hawthorn and soft-shelled turtle, which can effectively prevent tumor metastasis if patients eat them regularly. However, patients with minor postoperative bleeding should eat more mutton, squid, persimmon, etc., which have hemostatic effect and can relieve bleeding symptoms well. In addition, patients can eat more pork loin, walnuts, chestnuts, etc., which can relieve abdominal pain.
However, patients must be careful not to eat irritating foods such as onions, ginger and cinnamon. Even very greasy food should be eaten less, and any warm food should be avoided. These foods will cause internal fire in patients. For example, mutton, dog meat and other meats are warm tonic foods, and patients with ovarian teratoma should eat as little as possible.
What is a teratoma? In the process of human embryo development, there is a class of pluripotent cells with pluripotent development potential, which develop and differentiate into mature cells of various germ layers under normal embryo development. If some pluripotent cells are separated or shed from the whole at different stages of the embryo, so that abnormal mutation and differentiation of cell genes occur, embryo abnormality can occur. It is generally believed that this separation or shedding occurs in early embryos, forming teratomas; However, if it occurs in the late embryo, abnormal differentiated tissues with endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm will be formed, that is, teratoma will be formed.
The pathological feature of teratoma is that the tumor tissue consists of outer, middle and inner germ layers. It often contains mature or immature tissues such as skin, teeth, bones, cartilage, nerves, muscles, fat and epithelium, and a few may also contain gastric mucosa, pancreas, liver, kidney, lung, thyroid and thymus. Malignant teratoma is often characterized by immature tissue, which is difficult to shape and distinguish. Malignant teratoma is characterized by abnormal proliferation of nerve tissue or epithelial tissue to form malignant teratoma.
