A 13-year-old girl has been given a new lease of life after doctors removed an 8.5kg mass from her right ovary.
The girl from Gurugram, a class 9 student, was presented at Manipal Hospital in Gurugram after experiencing significant abdominal distension and mild discomfort that had been going on for about three months.
Despite these symptoms, the patient was able to maintain a good appetite and perform his daily activities normally.
An initial ultrasound revealed a mass occupying much of her abdomen. A CT scan confirmed the presence of an 8.5 kg mass in her right ovary.
Doctors led by Dr. Sharmila Solanki – Consultant, Obstetrics and Gynecology opted for an exploratory laparotomy – a surgical procedure under general anesthesia to directly examine the abdominal organs and determine the extent and spread of the disease. .
During the operation, a special procedure called Salpingo-oophorectomy was also performed on the right side, which involved removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
“This step was important to address the underlying cause of the stress and ensure that any pathological tissues were effectively managed,” Dr Sharmila told IANS.
The procedure also reduced symptoms and prevented further complications from occurring in the mass. Notably, the left ovary and fallopian tube, as well as her liver and the rest of the abdomen, were found to be normal.
“The girl is doing exceptionally well. She had a successful operation six weeks ago, and a recent PETCT scan showed no signs of residual disease. Her recovery has been uneventful, and she is full. Asymptomatic. He is currently having regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress,” said Dr.
Maintaining ovarian health is critical to women's overall well-being, fertility, and hormonal balance.
To promote healthy ovaries, Dr. Sharmila advises women to adopt healthy behaviors such as consuming a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking and alcohol consumption. Avoiding stress, managing stress levels, and getting adequate sleep. .
In addition, she urged women to “get regular gynecological examinations to detect any potential problems early and seek medical attention immediately if they notice any unusual symptoms or changes in their periods.” Do it.”
