According to local media such as Channel 7, Rachanaphone, a 31-year-old woman living in Satun, southwestern Thailand, has begun to show a little belly over the years.
The family thought it was because they liked to eat and became obese.
However, the situation became serious as Rachanaphone began to suffer from shortness of breath.
Her mother was "so swollen that her daughter was out of breath and her eyes popped out. The ship looked as if she were pregnant with twins."
Eventually, the mother took her daughter to the hospital, and the medical staff initially suspected her pregnancy.
However, ultrasound showed that it was a huge ovarian cyst measuring 30 cm in size that was compressing the abdomen.
I had emergency surgery and it was finished in 6 hours because of the size and complexity of the tumor.
After surgery, the weight of the removed cyst was confirmed to be 8 kg, which is similar to that of a full-term pregnancy.
Medical staff are collecting tissue samples and conducting additional tests.
The preoperative lachanaphone weighed 86 kg, but it was reduced to 75 kg after cyst removal.
She thought it was simply because she had eaten a lot, although her stomach had been swollen for a long time. I never imagined it would be such a serious problem."
The hospital said "These cases are becoming more and more common. Uterine tumors and ovarian cysts are on the rise, emphasizing the importance of regular checkups.
On the other hand, ovarian cysts are lumps with fluid in the ovaries and are often referred to as 'Ovarian Water Horms'.
Most of them are asymptomatic, and they are often found by accident. Occasionally, there may be abdominal distention, pelvic pain, menstrual abnormalities, indigestion, and bleeding.
Cysts often disappear spontaneously within weeks to months, but if the size increases, it is necessary to remove them surgically.
There is no specific prevention method, and regular obstetric examinations help early detection.
