Pune: Pandemic Covid-19 has caused a surge in the case of weight gain.
But obesity can have a deeper basic cause too.
A 22-year-old woman from a good family was found to maintain a large pumpkin size ovarian tumor when her parents took her to the doctor for weight gain.
They think that his weight increases because it lacks exercise, increasing screen time and lifestyle that settles during a pandemic.
“The young woman has a large 45cm ovary mass with a weight of 11.2kg.
Our main challenge is to remove the tumor without damaging it and hurt the other organs,” said Gynaec Oncosurgeon Dr.
Nikhil Parwate, who managed to remove a large tumor at the Aditya Birla warning hospital in Chinchwad In January 5.
Tumor removed without compromise.
Fertility and opportunity to become a mother.
The tumor recorded in the heaviest (18.5kg) in medical literature was reported from Wardha (Maharashtra) in October 2019.
In the last 20 years, 48 cases around the world have been reported about the mass of giant ovarians.
These twelve cases, including 22-year-old Pune girls have cancer tumors, he said.
“Mass in the case of the girl is very large so the upper limit of mass touches the patient’s breast border,” said Gynecologist Hospital Dr.
Madhulika Singh.
Dr.
Singh doubted that the mass was benign and therefore immediately referred the patient to Dr.
Parwate.
Removing tumors without damaging or spilling tumor contents is one of the main challenges in operation.
“Clinically, we can assess the possibility of a tumor to be an initial cancer.
Based on this, we guard the uterus and other normal ovaries, but remove other ovarians, the network that surrounds the tumor and its spread path,” said Dr.
Parwate.
Complex surgery lasts three hours and fifteen minutes.
The woman was allowed to go home in a postoperative week.
“At present, he is not on any cancer drug because he has early cancer (stage 1a grade 2) for operations which is the only treatment.
There is no additional chemotherapy,” said Dr.
Parwate.
“He is really fine.
However, he has been suggested that monitoring is tight until he is married, pregnant normally and has a baby,” said one of his parents.
