A 15-year-old girl has experienced a rapid weight gain over the past two years, with her belly becoming larger and making it difficult for her to breathe. After visiting the hospital for a check-up, doctors discovered an ovarian tumor containing almost 10 liters of fluid that had taken up her entire abdomen.
In mid-2023, the girl weighed 65 kg and had a waist of 80 cm, working out at the gym for 1.5 hours a day, three times a week. Six months later, despite losing weight by 5 kg, her waist circumference increased by 5 cm and she developed stretch marks on her stomach like a full-term pregnant woman.
During surgery to remove the fluid and tissue from the cyst and preserve both ovaries, doctors found that the tumor was benign. Ovarian cysts are common in girls and women, but large, twisted tumors can cause more severe symptoms and complications if left untreated. To avoid such complications, girls and women should seek medical attention if they notice a large belly or any other unusual symptoms. Timely treatment can help preserve fertility and prevent life-threatening complications.
