Tehrin Fatima, a 23-year-old woman from Bahraich, had swelling in her lower belly that lasted a long time. Over four months, her symptoms got worse, causing her a lot of discomfort and serious problems with peeing and bowel movements.
Seeking better treatment, her family took her to Tender Palm Super-Speciality Hospital in Lucknow, where she was examined by Dr. Narendra Krishna Yadav, a Consultant in Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery.
After medical checkups and advanced scans, such as a PET-CT scan, doctors discovered a massive tumor in her right ovary. Measuring about 30 cm and weighing between 3 and 4 kilograms, the tumor took up a large portion of her pelvis and lower abdomen.
Understanding the specific needs of a young, unmarried patient, the medical team focused on protecting her fertility while removing the tumor. During surgery, the advanced 'intraoperative frozen section' technique was used for quick tissue testing. Tests confirmed that the mass was not an aggressive cancer, but a 'borderline tumor.'
Thanks to this key real-time test, the surgical team successfully removed the large tumor and the affected ovary while saving her uterus and healthy left ovary, protecting her ability to have children in the future.
Due to the careful surgical plan and the borderline nature of the tumor, Tehrin did not need chemotherapy after surgery. She recovered smoothly, returned to normal daily activities, and remains in good health during regular checkups. Tehrin and her family expressed their deep thanks to Dr. Narendra Krishna Yadav, the nursing staff, and the management of Tender Palm Hospital for the excellent care, great support, and skilled treatment.
Dr. Narendra Krishna Yadav stressed that major abdominal swelling or a pelvic mass should never be ignored. He explained that with the help of advanced testing tools like intraoperative frozen section analysis, cancer surgeons can successfully treat complex ovarian tumors while protecting the reproductive health of young female patients.
At Tender Palm Super-Specialty Hospital in Lucknow, top-quality cancer care, modern surgical techniques, and patient-focused treatment plans help young patients overcome serious health problems and move toward a healthy future.
