Medical Evaluation of Ovarian Torsion in A 7-Year-Old Child: Case Report

Ovarian torsion occurs when the ovary is twisted around the supporting tissues. sometimes the fallopian tube may also twist. this painful condition cuts off blood flow to these organs. ovarian torsion is a serious medical condition that must be treated immediately. if left untreated, it can lead to ovarian failure. if you have an ovarian cyst that can cause the ovaries to swell, you are more likely to experience ovarian torsion. you may be able to reduce the risk of ovarian torsion by taking hormonal contraceptives or other medications to help reduce the size of the cyst. the longer the diagnosis and treatment process, the greater the risk of ovarian tissue. when torsion occurs, blood flow to the ovaries and possibly the fallopian tube decreases. decreased blood flow over a long period leads to necrosis (tissue death). if this happens, the doctor will remove the damaged ovary and tissue. the only way to prevent such a complication is to seek immediate treatment. if the ovary is destroyed due to necrosis, pregnancy is possible. ovarian torsion is not a predictable disease. however, by following the tips emphasized by obstetricians and periodic examinations, ovarian cysts can be detected and treated. in this case, the primary possibility of this disease will be removed from the body. ovarian torsion is a serious condition that should be treated soon by seeing a doctor. if you feel severe pain in the lower abdomen accompanied by nausea and vomiting, you should immediately go to the emergency room and not seek home treatment.
