The harm of ovarian tumors to women

Ovarian tumor is a very common malignant tumor disease in life. This disease not only causes great harm to the patient's body, but also has a great impact on the life and work of ovarian tumor patients. Therefore, timely treatment of ovarian tumor is very important. Although there are many methods for treating ovarian tumors, the difficulty of treating ovarian tumors is still very high. So what kind of harm will ovarian tumors cause to the patient's body? Let us give a detailed introduction to this issue below.

1. Infection: It is rare and is usually secondary to tumor pedicle torsion or rupture. The main symptoms are fever, abdominal pain, elevated white blood cell count and varying degrees of peritonitis. Patients with ovarian tumors should actively control infection and undergo elective surgical exploration.

2. Malignant transformation of benign ovarian tumors: This often occurs in older patients, especially postmenopausal patients. The tumor grows rapidly in a short period of time, and patients with ovarian tumors feel bloating and loss of appetite. Examination of the tumor volume is significantly increased and fixed, and there is often ascites. Patients suspected of malignant transformation should be treated promptly.

3. Ascites: Although benign ovarian tumors such as fibroids or papillary cystadenomas may also be complicated by ascites, malignant ovarian tumors are more likely to be accompanied by ascites. In addition, because malignant tumor cells have penetrated the tumor wall or have metastasized to the peritoneum (visual observation or microscopic examination), the ascites of patients with ovarian tumors is often bloody.

4. Ovarian pedicle torsion: It is relatively common and is one of the acute abdominal diseases in gynecology. It is more common in cystic tumors with long pedicles, medium size, large mobility, and center of gravity biased to one side. Ovarian tumors often occur when the body position changes suddenly, in early pregnancy or after delivery. After the pedicle is torsioned, the venous return of the tumor is blocked, causing congestion, purple-brown color, and even rupture of blood vessels and bleeding.

5. Tumor rupture: Spontaneous rupture may be caused by ischemic necrosis of the cyst wall or tumor erosion and penetration of the cyst wall. Or traumatic rupture may be caused by squeezing, childbirth, gynecological examination and puncture. After rupture, the cyst fluid flows into the abdominal cavity and stimulates the peritoneum, which can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and even shock in patients with ovarian tumors. During the examination, there are abdominal irritation signs such as abdominal wall tension, tenderness, rebound pain, and the original mass shrinks or disappears. After the diagnosis of ovarian tumor, laparotomy should be performed immediately to remove the cyst and clean the peritoneum.

The above is a detailed introduction to the harm that ovarian tumors will cause to the patient's body. I believe everyone has already understood that as long as ovarian tumor patients can go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, the condition of ovarian tumor patients can be effectively alleviated.
