The patient's name is K.H.K.N (36 years old, address in Can Tho City). After being admitted to the hospital 5 days later, the patient felt severe abdominal pain in the lower abdomen, so he went to a medical facility for examination and was diagnosed with a large ovarian tumor, requiring surgery.
After that, the patient's family asked to transfer the patient to Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital for treatment. Relatives informed that the patient had a child and had not had regular gynecological examinations for a long time.
Through necessary examination and testing, the patient was diagnosed with a large ovarian tumor, suspected of necrosis. The patient was consulted by obstetricians, gynecologists, emergency doctors, anesthesiologists and prescribed emergency surgery.
The surgery lasted about 60 minutes. Observation shows that the ovaries are torsioned, necroscopic, and have many surrounding mucous membranes. The nearly 4kg tumor was removed. Due to late detection of the ovarian cyst, the medical team decided to cut the ovaries and fallopian tubes to save the patient's life.
After 5 days of surgery, the patient was stable and was recovering.
Doctor CKII. Nguyen Thi Kieu Anh - Deputy Head of the Obstetrics Department, Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital - said that ovarian cancer is a common gynecological disease at all ages, from girls of all ages to the elderly, affecting the health, activities, quality of life and fertility of women. Ovarian cysts are 90% benign, but 10% can progress to malignancy.
The disease often progresses silently, without symptoms. Symptoms often appear when the disease is already late or the tumor is large, causing dangerous complications such as cyst torsion, burst of the cell, and compression of surrounding organs.
Doctor Kieu Anh recommends that women should have a gynecological examination every 6 months to screen for tumors and gynecological cancer. In particular, women need to be vigilant for unusual symptoms such as abdominal pain, large abdomen, abdominal heaviness, signs of compression (constriction, pumpkin), even in young people.
