What are the symptoms of ovarian tumors

Knowing the symptoms of the disease is the guarantee to improve the chance of cure. Therefore, potential crises like ovarian tumors, which have no symptoms in the early stage and are difficult to detect, should be taken seriously to avoid delaying treatment and causing serious consequences. What are the symptoms of ovarian tumors that are easy to detect in the early stage? The following editor summarizes them for you.

1. 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, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, which is often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.

2. Discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a mass in the lower abdomen. 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, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel distension and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

3. Menstrual disorders. Except for tumors with endocrine effects, ovarian cancer, even bilateral ovarian cancer, generally does not cause menstrual disorders because it does not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, but is caused by ovarian tumors that change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels, causing congestion of the endometrium.

4. Abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly due to the twisting of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, ovarian cancer often causes abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

Regarding the symptoms of ovarian tumors, everyone must choose the most suitable one based on their own actual situation. Only the most suitable one is the best. Finally, it is recommended that everyone must actively consult experts to get accurate treatment methods.
