Women with ovarian tumors have these symptoms

What are the symptoms of female ovarian tumors? Ovarian tumors are a common gynecological disease among women, but many women wonder why they don’t know about it. How can everyone get this disease? It’s just that some habits in our daily life may cause it. Only by knowing yourself can you win every battle. Let’s take a closer look at the symptoms of female ovarian tumors.

There are two types of ovarian tumors: benign and malignant. Benign tumors are not so bad, but if you don't pay attention, they can also cause malignant tumors. The most serious problem with malignant tumors is death. I introduce the manifestations of these two types of tumors, mainly to encourage everyone to pay attention to them and seek treatment as early as possible.

1. Symptoms of benign ovarian tumors:

It develops slowly and is usually asymptomatic in the early stages. It is often discovered accidentally during a gynecological examination. Medium-sized tumors often cause abdominal discomfort and a mass that grows upward from one side of the lower abdomen. During a gynecological examination, a spherical mass can be felt on one side of the uterus. It is cystic or solid, with a smooth surface, no adhesion to the uterus, and can be moved freely by the elderly. Large or huge tumors that fill the pelvis and abdomen may cause compression symptoms such as frequent urination, constipation, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc. A mass can be felt in the abdomen, with poor mobility, porphyria on percussion, and no mobile dullness.

2. Symptoms of malignant ovarian tumors:

There are usually no subjective symptoms in the early stage, and when symptoms appear, the disease is often in the late stage. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, there may be abdominal distension, abdominal masses and ascites in the short term. How the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves can cause abdominal pain, low back pain or lower limb pain. If the pelvic veins are compressed, lower limb edema may occur; if it is a functional tumor, it may produce corresponding symptoms of excess estrogen or androgen. Late-stage patients show cachexia. During gynecological examination, scattered hard nodules can be felt in the posterior fornix of the vagina. The masses are mostly lateral, solid or semi-solid, fixed, and often accompanied by bloody ascites.

Some people may think that science and technology have been quite advanced nowadays and that such diseases can definitely be cured, so they let down their guard. In fact, this is wrong. As far as ovarian malignant tumors are concerned, our research is still relatively limited, and they cannot be cured through surgery. Therefore, early detection of symptoms and early treatment are the correct approaches.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of ovarian tumors in women. Through our introduction, you can more clearly understand whether you have signs of tumors, and then conduct acute and early prevention and treatment.
