At Medicover Hospital, Bhosari, Pune, we successfully treated a 40-year-old woman. She had progressive abdominal distension and discomfort for nearly six months. Initially, the condition was mistaken for weight gain and gastric issues. It was later identified as a large ovarian tumour, and immediate surgery was necessary.

The Patient's Journey

The patient had been experiencing gradual abdominal distension, discomfort, and a feeling of heaviness for several months. Like many women, she initially attributed these symptoms to digestive issues or lifestyle changes. Despite consulting multiple general practitioners, she did not receive a definitive diagnosis or a referral to a specialist. As the symptoms persisted and the abdominal distension continued to increase, she sought further evaluation at Medicover Hospital.

Accurate Diagnosis Through Specialist Evaluation

The patient was evaluated by Dr Madhushree Mane, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Medicover Hospital in Pune.

Given the size of the mass and associated symptoms, surgical intervention was advised without delay.

Advanced Surgical Management at Medicover

The surgery was performed by Dr Madhushree Mane, in collaboration with Dr Ashish Bangar, Consultant Surgical Oncologist & Specialist in Breast, Ovarian, and Peritoneal Malignancies.

During the procedure:

A frozen section examination was conducted during surgery, which confirmed that the tumour was benign, allowing the team to proceed safely without extensive radical surgery. The procedure was completed successfully, with meticulous care taken to avoid complications.

Recovery and Outcome

She was discharged in good health and advised routine follow-up care.

Why Early Evaluation Matters?

Ovarian tumours often present with vague and non-specific symptoms, such as:

These symptoms are frequently mistaken for gastric or lifestyle-related problems, leading to delayed diagnosis.

At Medicover, we strongly advise women to consult a gynecologist if such symptoms persist for more than 2-3 weeks. Early imaging and specialist evaluation are critical to prevent complications related to large ovarian tumours.

Our Commitment to Women's Health

At Medicover Hospital, Bhosari, we are committed to:

This case highlights the importance of specialist evaluation, appropriate imaging, and timely surgery, even when symptoms appear mild or misleading.
