Does a teratoma affect pregnancy?
Teratomas can be classified into benign cystic teratomas and malignant teratomas. In most cases, teratomas are benign and do not affect future pregnancies. When a woman develops a teratoma, she can usually conceive normally about six months after surgical treatment, and most patients who undergo standard treatment can conceive naturally. When a teratoma is detected, it is first important to identify whether the teratoma is benign or malignant. After the surgical removal, further pathological examination is also necessary to make this determination. If the teratoma is benign in its early stages, the impact is not significant. However, if the teratoma continues to grow and presses on the fallopian tubes or ovaries, it may cause infertility, so timely treatment is necessary.
