What are the early symptoms of ovarian tumors

What are the early symptoms of ovarian tumors? Many people do not know. Ovarian tumors are one of the malignant diseases of gynecology and can occur at any age in women's lives. So, what are the symptoms of ovarian tumors? The following experts will introduce the symptoms of ovarian tumors.

In the early stage of ovarian tumor, there is usually no obvious discomfort, and some patients only feel a slight abdominal distension. Because the ovarian tumor is located in the pelvic cavity, it is not easy to be found in the early stage. When the tumor has grown, the abdomen bulges, or the tumor ruptures and causes abdominal pain, the patient will go to the doctor, but at this time it is already in the late stage and difficult to cure. Therefore, mothers should often touch their little girls' stomachs, and adolescent women and middle-aged and elderly women should often touch their abdomens to see if there are any lumps. After finding a lump, no matter the size or whether it hurts, you should seek medical attention in time.

The best way to touch is: get up in the morning, empty your bladder, lie flat, bend your legs slightly, and touch from one side of the lower abdomen to the other. If you find a hard foreign body, it is suspected to be a tumor. However, if you touch the tumor or have compression symptoms (abdominal discomfort, frequent urination, constipation), it means that the tumor has grown very large. Therefore, a more reliable way is to ask a gynecologist to do pelvic palpation. Therefore, it is very helpful for women over middle age to have a gynecological examination every year to find tumors early. Don't be embarrassed. Girls or unmarried young people who have lower abdominal pain or discomfort, abnormal menstruation, should also check the gynecology department, don't be embarrassed.

A gynecological examination revealed a mass with a diameter greater than 5 cm. If it did not shrink after a period of observation, surgical treatment was necessary.
