Learn more about the symptoms of ovarian cysts

To treat ovarian cysts, it is crucial to understand the symptoms of ovarian cysts. In the early stage, ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations. Later, as the tumor grows, the patient will feel it. So what are the main symptoms of ovarian cysts ?

1. Lower abdominal distension and pain is the initial symptom of ovarian cyst before the patient touches the lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, so that the patient has a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly caused by the twisting of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by 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.

3. Menstrual disorders. Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, but may be caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects.

4. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass are common symptoms of ovarian cysts. Patients notice that their clothes or belts are too tight, and then they notice that their abdomen is enlarged, or they feel it accidentally in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find that there is a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort.

5. Compression symptoms. A huge ovarian tumor can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause such symptoms.

Through the understanding of the above symptoms of ovarian cysts, it is recommended that you should check and treat as soon as possible if you have slight discomfort to avoid greater harm and unnecessary impact on everyone. I hope everyone has a healthy body.
