What are the symptoms of ovarian tumors

Do you know the symptoms of ovarian tumors? Ovarian tumors are very harmful and should not be underestimated. Ovarian tumors are a gynecological disease that affects the health of many women. Timely discovery and timely treatment can better protect your health. First of all, we need to understand the symptoms of ovarian tumors. Let the experts introduce them to us in detail.

First, the symptom of ovarian tumor is lower abdominal discomfort. It is the initial symptom before the patient feels a lump in the lower abdomen. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and body position changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel distension and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

Secondly, the symptoms of ovarian tumors are also manifested in abdominal pain during the premenstrual period. Patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially those that occur suddenly, which is mostly caused by tumor pedicle torsion, or occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection.

Here, the symptoms of ovarian tumors also include menstrual disorders. Generally, ovarian tumors, even bilateral ovarian tumors, do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues, so most of them do not cause menstrual disorders. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, or it is caused by ovarian tumors that change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or it is caused by ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasizing to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects.

Finally, symptoms of ovarian tumors generally include 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 such symptoms. However, some ovarian tumor patients have dyspnea caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusions, and often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.

In addition, there may be a feeling of enlarged abdominal circumference and abdominal swelling. This is the most common phenomenon for patients. Patients find that their clothes or belts seem tight and small, and they just 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 swelling in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort.

The above is a detailed introduction to the symptoms of ovarian tumors. I hope it can attract the attention of female friends. If you have the above symptoms, you must go to the hospital for examination in time and do not delay the condition to avoid harm to your health and avoid other gynecological diseases.
