What are the common complications of ovarian tumors

What symptoms should women be alert to ovarian tumors? Ovarian tumors are common gynecological diseases. It is one of the common tumors of the female reproductive system. Ovarian malignant tumors also have the highest mortality rate among gynecological malignant tumors. What symptoms should women be alert to ovarian tumors? There are many types of ovarian tumors, which are divided into physiological and pathological categories. They can occur from infancy to the elderly.

1. Menstrual disorders: Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, or it is caused by ovarian tumors that change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or it is caused by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects.

2. Compression symptoms: Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause such symptoms. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, and is often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.

3. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom before the patient feels the lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and body position changes, 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.

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

Ovarian tumors have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but usually there are lower abdominal discomfort, abdominal circumference thickening, abdominal mass, abdominal pain, compression symptoms, menstrual disorders, etc. If they are not discovered in time through regular gynecological examinations and measures are not taken, they are likely to become malignant.
