GĐXH - After more than a year of taking drugs of unknown origin, Ms. T's belly became increasingly swollen and her limbs became unusually thin.

On March 13, information from Phu Tho General Hospital said that recently, doctors at this unit received and successfully performed surgery to remove a giant tumor weighing 15kg from the abdomen of a female patient in the area.

Accordingly, Ms. DTT (43 years old, in Cam Khe, Phu Tho) was taken to the hospital by her family with a swollen belly like a pregnant woman, a thin body, and fatigue. It is known that since 2022, Ms. T. discovered an ovarian tumor. However, due to her fear of surgery, she listened to an acquaintance and bought herbal medicine to treat herself at home.

After more than a year of taking herbal medicine, the patient's abdomen became increasingly distended, her limbs became unusually thin, so she stopped taking the medicine. However, this condition did not improve, her abdomen continued to grow larger, causing difficulty and inconvenience in daily activities. Too worried, her family took her to Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital for examination.

Here, the patient was examined, consulted and ordered surgery to remove the ovarian tumor. After about 3 hours of surgery, the doctors successfully removed the giant tumor weighing 15kg from the patient's abdomen. After surgery, the patient's condition was stable and continued to be monitored and treated at the hospital.

BSCKII. Do Manh Hai - Head of the Department of Oncology Surgery, Phu Tho General Hospital said that ovarian tumors are a common disease and most of them are benign. However, for patient T., this is a rare case because the tumor is very large, up to 15kg. If not treated, the tumor will compress the surrounding organs, leading to many dangerous complications, even threatening life.

Therefore, experts recommend that when people encounter unusual health problems, they should go to a medical facility to be examined, diagnosed, and advised on appropriate treatment methods by specialized doctors.

Absolutely do not buy medicine to take on your own, especially herbal medicines of unknown origin, medicines advertised or word of mouth that have not been verified... to avoid dangerous consequences to your health.
