Treatment of ovarian fibroma in Germany
Modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian fibroma: from ultrasound monitoring to organ-conserving surgery
Ovarian fibroma is a benign tumor that develops from connective tissue. It does not have hormonal activity, but if it is large in size it can cause discomfort and complications. Clinics in Germany use modern diagnostic methods and gentle treatment to preserve reproductive function and ensure full recovery.
Key Features:
- Benign nature (does not degenerate into cancer)
- Hormonally inactive (does not affect the menstrual cycle)
- Can reach large sizes (up to 10–15 cm)
- In rare cases, accompanied by Meigs syndrome (ascites, hydrothorax)
Symptoms of ovarian fibroma
In the early stages, the tumor is often asymptomatic, but as it grows, the following may appear:
- Nagging pain in the lower abdomen
- Increase in abdominal volume (for large sizes)
- Difficulty urinating (due to pressure on the bladder)
- Constipation (due to squeezing of the intestines)
- Rarely – ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity)
If fibroma is accompanied by Meigs syndrome, the following are possible:
- Shortness of breath (due to hydrothorax)
- General weakness
- Edema
Diagnosis of ovarian fibroma at RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum
German clinics use high-precision diagnostic methods:
- Ultrasound (transvaginal and abdominal) – determines the size and structure of the tumor.
- MRI and CT scans provide detailed visualization and help distinguish fibroids from other neoplasms.
- Laparoscopy – diagnostics and treatment at the same time (for small sizes).
- Blood test for tumor markers (CA-125, HE4) – excludes a malignant process.
Each direction is supervised by advanced oncologists.
