How to distinguish benign and malignant ovarian tumors

The distinction between benign and malignant ovarian cysts is mostly based on symptoms and signs, including imaging and blood biomarkers. If an ovarian cyst grows very rapidly, especially if it grows to more than 10 centimeters or 20 centimeters in a few months, you should also be careful that it is a malignant cyst. In imaging, it can be found that there are a lot of solid masses under B-ultrasound, or nipples can be seen. Whether it is malignant or benign, it needs timely treatment.

Everyone is familiar with the occurrence of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are a gynecological disease with a relatively high incidence rate. The occurrence of this disease seriously damages the patient's health. Therefore, in daily life, for the occurrence of ovarian cysts, it is necessary to seek timely treatment to avoid more serious consequences. We all know that tumors can be benign or malignant. So how do we distinguish between benign and malignant ovarian tumors?
You should know that ovarian cysts are divided into two types: benign and malignant. Making the distinction is the key to diagnosing and treating this tumor. Do not treat benign tumors as malignant tumors, which will bring a heavy burden to patients. Do not treat malignant tumors as benign tumors, which will delay the best time for treatment and cause irreversible consequences. Therefore, distinguishing whether ovarian cysts are benign or malignant is the key to treating this disease.
In terms of the history of disease, patients with benign ovarian cyst disease have a longer course of disease, the cyst will gradually grow, and there are generally no uncomfortable symptoms, while patients with malignant ovarian cyst disease have a shorter course of disease, the cyst will grow rapidly, and may be accompanied by symptoms of fever.
Generally speaking, benign patients are mostly women of childbearing age and in good condition, while malignant patients are mostly adolescent girls or postmenopausal women. The disease progresses quickly, and there will be lesions metastasis in the early stage, and rapid weight loss and other symptoms will appear. To distinguish from physical signs, benign patients are often unilateral, can move, have a relatively smooth surface, intact capsule, and no ascites, while malignant patients are sometimes bilateral, inactive, often adherent to surrounding tissues, have an uneven surface, and are often accompanied by bloody ascites. If the ascites is examined, cancer cells can be found.
Ovarian cysts are a very harmful disease. Therefore, female patients, whether they have benign or malignant ovarian cysts, should actively go to a regular hospital for treatment. Otherwise, it will cause more serious harm to their healthy body. Once any abnormality is found in the body in daily life, they should seek medical attention in time.
