What is a teratoma?

Teratomas are common and occur mainly in the central nervous system. They are mainly functional and non-specific clinical manifestations, accompanied by symptoms of nerve compression and duration of pain. Currently, there are many treatment methods for malignant teratomas in clinical practice. The best time is mainly surgical resection. If surgery is performed, the main choice is some implementation methods and some postoperative rehabilitation and preventive care.

For teratoma, you should eat some high-protein, high-vitamin foods, the fresher the food, and eat more anti-tumor foods, such as some wood ear mushrooms. Prevention and care should be carried out in time. Next, we will introduce what teratoma is.

Such tumors usually have no specific clinical manifestations if they are small or nonfunctional. Early symptoms mainly include low back pain, abnormal motor sensation and reflexes in both lower limbs, impotence, and bladder and rectal sphincter dysfunction. Compared with other tumors in the spinal canal, patients with this type of tumor have a younger age of onset and a longer course of disease, as well as the following characteristics: ① Because the cysts are mainly located in the lower part of the spinal cord, with more in the conus medullaris and cauda equina, more patients suffer from low back and leg pain, which is often dull pain or severe radicular pain; ② More patients suffer from rectal bladder dysfunction, with more than 80% of patients having urination and defecation dysfunction; ③ The damage to the motor system may be atypical. When the cyst is combined with lumbar spina bifida, the lower end of the spinal cord is often fixed in a lower position; ④ If combined with pilonidal sinus, it can often cause intracranial infection. In a few patients with pilonidal sinus, the stimulation of the cyst contents may cause fever and other symptoms.

Medical treatment: The best option for treatment of this disease is surgical resection. During the operation, the cyst contents should be cleared as much as possible and the cyst wall should be removed as much as possible. The part of the cyst wall that is tightly adhered to the spinal cord or nerve roots should not be removed forcibly. For intraspinal malignant teratoma, the comprehensive treatment plan of adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy after surgical resection still needs further study.

The above is what teratoma is. Touch your abdomen frequently to see if there is any lumps, including whether it hurts regardless of size. It should be resolved in time. The pathological causes in daily life are mainly caused by the development of some other tissues and some embryos. Therefore, timely inspection and treatment should be carried out in daily life, otherwise it will cause changes in other types of diseases.
