Teratoma is a kind of tumor disease with high incidence rate. Teratoma can be divided into two types: benign teratoma and malignant teratoma. Benign teratoma is not harmful to the body. If the examination shows malignant teratoma, surgical treatment is required, and a follow-up examination is needed one month after surgery. So, what tests should be done for postoperative follow-up of teratoma?
The re examination of teratoma requires ultrasound examination, and one month after surgery, one can go to the hospital for ultrasound examination to compare the preoperative and postoperative conditions. Postoperative ultrasound examination can reveal any abnormalities in the affected area, which can effectively prevent disease recurrence and rule out other possible diseases.
Pathological examination is also a necessary examination for follow-up after teratoma surgery, mainly to prevent disease recurrence. In addition, patients also need to undergo tumor marker testing, which needs to be done regularly to avoid unexpected situations. Finally, it is necessary to conduct some routine examinations, mainly to check whether the body is healthy.
Overall, there are quite a few follow-up items after teratoma surgery, and patients need to be examined under the guidance of a doctor. If there are any problems with the examination, timely treatment should be given. Patients should pay attention to rest more after surgery, avoid staying up late, and avoid putting too much psychological pressure on themselves.
