Woman’s pelvic tumor grew from 11 cm to basketball size 5 years ago without following doctor’s advice

Changjiang Daily Wuhan Client, April 15th (Reporter Zhang Jian, Correspondent Zhang Huiwen) The body is as thin as firewood, but the stomach is distended like a drum. The 51-year-old Ms. Wang is deeply remorseful. If she had followed the doctor’s order to remove the tumor five years ago, how could she have done so much harm to her body.

During a routine physical examination 5 years ago, Ms. Wang discovered a tumor with a diameter of about 11cm in the pelvic cavity during the gynecological color time. At that time, the doctor advised her to undergo surgery. Worrying about the risks of surgery and complications related to surgery, Ms. Wang did not follow the doctor’s advice, believing that it was painless and would not affect her daily life, so she refused surgery.

In the past 5 years, the mass in the pelvic cavity has gradually increased. Until recently, Ms. Wang found that she had severe abdominal distension, obvious weight loss, and numbness in her lower limbs. It turned out that the pelvic tumor with a diameter of about 11cm had grown into a huge tumor the size of a basketball, which completely filled the pelvic cavity and abdominal cavity. Because the tumor in the abdomen grew too fast and too large, Ms. Wang became thinner and thinner.

She was attracted to Xu Youxian, director of the gynecology department of Taikang Tongji (Wuhan) Hospital. After patiently communicating with Ms. Wang, Director Xu Youxian carefully formulated a surgical plan and a diagnosis and treatment plan for her.

During the operation, the pelvic tumor was found to be over 35cm in diameter and weigh about 20 pounds. Now Ms. Wang has passed the high-risk perioperative period and recovered well after surgery.

Female pelvic cysts and lower abdominal pain are common diseases in gynecology, which should be diagnosed and treated promptly under the guidance of gynecologists. life threatening.

Director Xu Youxian suggested that women should have a regular gynecological examination every year to discover hidden hidden dangers in time.
