Ovarian Tumor From A Woman
Ovarian Tumor weighing 30 kg was surgically removed at Saula General Hospital, Southern Regional State in Ethiopia, said Dr. Glande Glo, the hospital’s gynecologist and obstetrics specialist.
The doctor said that the surgery lasted over one hour and thirty minutes.
According to the report received from the hospital, an unusually heavy uterine tumor was removed in a major surgery conducted by the members of the integrated obstetric and fetal surgery team led by Dr. Glande Glo.
Dr. Glande said that the patient is now in full health.
Dr. Glande added that uterine tumor is common in women of reproductive age, but occasionally it can occur in children and women who have stopped menstruating.
But until now, a tumor weighing more than 15 kilograms is rare, says Dr. Glande.
He stressed that pregnant women should be monitored by a professional for at least three months from the time the fetus is delivered, and up to eight rounds in one pregnancy, and they should be seen twice by ultrasound.
The information obtained from Gofa Zone Communication indicates that if mothers stop menstruating or if they experience problems such as bloating, weight loss, and lack of appetite during pregnancy, they should be seen by a professional as soon as possible.
