Adnexal Tumor Treatment in Noida

Adnexal Tumor

An adnexal mass or adnexal tumor is a growth of tissue that forms near the uterus. It can be in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding connective tissues. Adnexal tumors can be fluid-filled or solid. Most adnexal masses are benign (noncancerous) and dissolve on their own within a few months, but they can be cancerous as well. Therefore, it is important to notify your doctor if you experience any abnormal adnexal tumor symptoms. This will help with a more accurate diagnosis and treatment, if necessary.

Adnexal tumors and masses are diagnosed with a thorough physical examination, imaging scans, and blood tests. The size and source of the tumor will help your doctor determine the best course of adnexal tumor treatment for you.

At Felix Hospital, our gynecologists are skilled and experienced to treat and manage gynecological cancers using the latest techniques, including malignant adnexal tumors. 
 

Symptoms

Not everyone who has an adnexal tumor will experience symptoms, and the symptoms usually depend on where the mass is and what is causing it. The possible symptoms may include:

• Pain in the pelvis

• Urinary problems

• The urge to urinate frequently

• Menstrual irregularities

• Bloating and constipation

• Pain during sexual activity
   

Causes

Adnexal tumors and masses can occur for many reasons. Common causes include:

• Cysts: When fluid accumulates in a specific place of the body, the resulting mass is known as a cyst. Cysts can form inside the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or in the connective tissue around them.

• Endometriosis: Endometriosis occurs when tissue that resembles the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It usually affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic tissue.

• Ectopic pregnancies: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterine cavity, most often in the fallopian tube.

Other health conditions may also lead to adnexal tumors and masses, which can include:

• Fibrosis: Fibrosis occurs when connective tissue gets thick and scarred.

• Hydrosalpinx: The condition occurs when fluid blocks a fallopian tube.

• Infection: A pus-filled tumor, known as an abscess, can form as a result of an infection.

• Ovarian Torsion: Ovarian torsion occurs when an ovary shifts out of its normal position and twists.

When to seek medical care?

You should get immediate medical help, if you experience any of the following adnexal tumor symptoms: Severe pain in the pelvis or belly that comes suddenly, or vaginal bleeding during the first three months of pregnancy.

Complications associated

Most adnexal masses are not serious. Only a doctor can tell whether or not a mass needs treatment. However, some sources of adnexal masses can have major problems. Tumors with serious consequences can be caused by the following factors:

• Ectopic pregnancy

• Cancer

• Cysts that break and discharge blood or other fluids

• Adnexal torsion (when the ovary or fallopian tubes get twisted)
  
   

Diagnosis

Adnexal tumors are frequently discovered during a regular pelvic examination. If your doctor detects a mass, they may request other imaging tests, such as:

• A pelvic exam to check the pelvic organs, external genitals, vagina, and cervix.

• Imaging tests like ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help determine the location and size of the tumor.

• Blood tests such as a pregnancy test, blood tests to detect infection, or cancer antigen assays.
   

Treatment

Adnexal masses are treated based on their cause. Normally, there are three adnexal tumor treatment options available:

No Treatment: If it is a small, painless, and benign adnexal tumor​, no treatment may be recommended.

Monitoring: If the doctor isn't sure what's causing the tumor or is concerned about your symptoms, or the size of the mass, they may monitor it over time. Most adnexal masses develop slowly. Follow-up sessions are planned to monitor how the mass changes and grows.

Surgery: If your doctor believes the lump is dangerous, or if it is huge and giving you pain, you can have it removed. Surgical interventions may include:

• Laparoscopy: Frequently suggested for symptomatic masses or those suspected of being malignant adnexal tumors. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive method that allows surgeons to access the abdomen through small incisions.

• Laparotomy: In case of bigger or malignant lumps, open surgery (laparotomy) may be required.

• Cystectomy: The removal of the cyst while keeping the ovary.

• Adnexectomy: The removal of the ovary and/or fallopian tube.

The adnexal tumor treatment is tailored to your specific type of growth and size. Many factors impact your treatment plan. Because there are so many elements at play, our experts at Felix Hospital, Noida, carefully prepare the best treatment for your unique case.
