A 60-year-old woman who went to the hospital after her abdomen grew as if she were six months pregnant experienced the shock of her life. A mass weighing a total of 6 kilograms was removed from her body.
Sixty-year-old Hanım Doğan, living in the Taşova district of Amasya, recently went to the hospital due to excessive bloating and growth in her abdomen.
SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS PREGNANT, THE REALITY EMERGED AT THE HOSPITAL
The truth behind this condition, which resembled pregnancy from the outside, was revealed through detailed examinations at the hospital. Doctors detected a massive mass completely surrounding the woman's abdominal cavity and decided on an emergency surgery.
LIFE EASING AFTER SURGERY
As a result of the meticulous operation performed by Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist Prof. Dr. Osman Fadıl Kara and his team, a mass weighing exactly 6 kilograms was removed from Doğan's body. After regaining her health post-surgery, Hanım Doğan stated that she did not feel any pain during the process and only went to the hospital due to the unexplained growth in her abdomen. The elderly woman, who took a deep breath after the operation, expressed that she felt much lighter and healthier.
EXPERTS WARN OF "INSIDIOUS DANGER"
Experts issued a vital warning based on this case. Prof. Dr. Osman Fadıl Kara stated, "Ovarian cysts are often detected late because they grow in the abdominal cavity. We call this 'insidious danger.' Our patient was lucky. We encountered a tumor that had not spread throughout the body. Early diagnosis saves lives," he said.
