What are the general hazards of ovarian tumors

When women experience menstrual changes and abdominal pressure symptoms, they should be careful about ovarian tumors! Because the harm of the disease is very serious, we must pay attention to any abnormal physical conditions and go to the hospital in time for treatment. Don't wait until the disease becomes serious and harmful before thinking about how to treat it. Let's take a look at the harm of ovarian tumors.

1. Pedicle torsion

It is relatively common and is one of the complications of ovarian tumors. It is more common in cystic tumors with long pedicles, medium size, large mobility, and center of gravity biased to one side. It often occurs when the body position changes suddenly, in early pregnancy or after delivery.

2. Tumor rupture

Spontaneous rupture may occur due to ischemic necrosis of the cyst wall or tumor erosion and penetration of the cyst wall; or traumatic rupture may occur due to squeezing, childbirth, gynecological examination, and puncture. After rupture, the cyst fluid flows into the abdominal cavity, irritating the peritoneum, which may cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and even shock. During the examination, there are abdominal irritation signs such as abdominal wall tension, tenderness, and rebound pain, and the original mass shrinks or disappears, which is a complication of ovarian tumors.

3. Malignant transformation

Malignant transformation of benign ovarian tumors often occurs in older patients, especially postmenopausal patients. The tumor grows rapidly in a short period of time, and the patient will feel abdominal distension and loss of appetite. Examination shows that the tumor volume has increased significantly and is fixed, and there is often ascites. Suspected malignant transformation should be treated promptly.

The above three points are the hazards of ovarian tumors. I hope they will be helpful to everyone. At the same time, we must pay attention to the early symptoms of the disease in our lives. Women who have had breast cancer should also pay close attention to prevent ovarian tumors. Patients with a family history of cancer, especially breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer, must pay close attention and need to have a physical examination once a year to prevent the occurrence of the disease.
