Ovarian disease that is not treated early will lead to many dangerous complications such as blood loss, malnutrition, miscarriage, heavy bleeding or uterine perforation because the egg is deeply embedded in the uterine muscle layer.

Uterine perforation: If it is a malignant ovum, deeply rooted in the uterine muscle, it can perforate the uterus, causing bleeding that pervades the abdominal cavity. easily lead to uterine perforation during curettage. Trophoblastoma: Normally, ovum pregnancy is not dangerous, because about 80% of ovary pregnancies are benign, the disease is cured after removal of the placenta or hysterectomy in people who have no need to have children anymore. Pancreatic cancer often invades deep into the muscular layer of the uterus, causing bleeding necrosis and distant metastases to other organs of the body such as liver, lung, brain, making treatment very difficult. Normally, the pregnancy progressed, more than 80% of the cases of ovum pregnancy after being treated with curettage will progress well. In the remaining 20% ​​of cases, the trophoblasts continue to grow and secrete hCG leading to complications.
