Common symptoms of ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease in women with obvious symptoms, including abdominal enlargement, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, etc. Although ovarian cysts are benign tumors, improper treatment may lead to malignant tumors.

1. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass: This is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient notices that his clothes or belt seem too tight and then notices the enlargement of the abdomen, or occasionally feels uncomfortable in the morning and presses his abdomen to find a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort.

2. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a lump in the lower abdomen. Due to the weight of the tumor itself, as well as the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and the pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel distended and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

3. Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, there is little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially sudden onset, it is usually caused by tumor pedicle twisting, tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

4. Menstrual changes: excessive menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual duration, spotting, etc.

5. Abnormal leucorrhea: Tumors occur in the female reproductive tract, and the tumors become necrotic and ulcerated, causing watery, bloody, and rice-soup-like leucorrhea. If there is an infection, it may have a foul odor.

6. Lumps: They can grow in any part of the reproductive organs and may not cause any symptoms.

7. Changes in diet and urination and defecation: The initial symptoms may only be abdominal distension, poor appetite and gastrointestinal symptoms. Tumor compression or invasion of the bladder and rectum may cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, dry stools, etc.

8. Postmenopausal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding may occur occasionally during the first year of menopause.
