Patients with teratomas generally have fewer symptoms of vaginal bleeding. More common symptoms include abdominal pain and bloating. It is recommended that patients with teratomas undergo an ultrasound examination as it can reveal whether there are abnormal tissues inside, such as teeth or hair. If a teratoma is detected, it is crucial to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible because teratomas can become malignant. Moreover, teratomas usually occur at a younger age, during the adolescent years, and can therefore impact reproductive function. It is advised that such patients undergo surgery promptly.
