What are the clinical manifestations of ovarian cysts?

As the name suggests, ovarian cyst is a gynecological disease that often occurs on both sides of a woman's ovaries. To put it more simply, ovarian cyst is a benign tumor disease, but it has the possibility of becoming cancerous, and if it is not well controlled in daily life, the possibility of cancer is very high. If it turns into cancer, the disease is very malignant. And the treatment effect is still relatively general and has a certain degree of difficulty. What are the clinical manifestations of ovarian cysts?

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

It is the initial symptom before the patient feels a 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 infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass

It is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient finds that his clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then notices the enlargement of the abdomen, or feels it accidentally in the morning, so he presses his abdomen and finds a tumor in the abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. 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 due to torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to 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 disorders

Generally, ovarian cysts, or 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 is caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessel distribution, causing endometrial congestion; or it is caused by direct metastasis of ovarian malignant tumors to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory influences.

5. Compression symptoms

Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with large amounts of ascites can also cause these symptoms. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, and is often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.

Therefore, ovarian cysts require immediate treatment. It is generally believed that ovarian abscess is diagnosed through B-ultrasound examination. Because the symptoms of the disease are not obvious in the early stage of the disease, this is also one of the important reasons that increase the difficulty of treating ovarian cysts. Surgery is generally the first choice for this disease.
