Will ovarian cysts cause ascites? In what situations will ascites occur?

1. Ovarian cysts are common causes of ascites, which is a serious harm to patients. Ascites is light yellow, yellow-green, or reddish or even bloody; sometimes it is turbid due to the presence of mucus or other tumor contents. Ascites often occurs with malignant ovarian cysts, especially those with peritoneal implantation or metastasis.

2. The incidence of ascites is proportional to the malignancy of the tumor. Ascites is most commonly associated with solid primary cancer, accounting for 75%. Patients with ovarian cysts generally have a mass in the abdomen, which varies in size. The biggest feature of an intra-abdominal mass that is medium in size or smaller, if there are no complications or malignant changes, is mobility, and it can often move from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity. The mass is generally not tender, but if there are complications or malignant changes, not only will the mass itself be tender, but there may even be symptoms of peritoneal irritation. The presence of ascites is often a characteristic of malignant tumors, but benign cysts such as ovarian fibromas and papillary cystadenomas can also produce ascites. Endocrine symptoms such as hirsutism, hoarseness of voice, and clitoral hypertrophy are masculinizing cysts.

3. In addition to ascites, the symptoms of ovarian cysts also include severe menstrual disorders, severe abdominal pain, severe compression symptoms, etc. Although the ovaries are small, they are important organs for producing eggs and ovulating, secreting hormones, and balancing endocrine. Ovarian tumors often occur in the reproductive age when the endocrine system is vigorous. Continuous ovulation can cause continuous damage and repair of the ovarian epithelium. Cell mutations may occur during the repair process, and the chance of the formation of ovarian epithelial inclusion cysts is also increased. If the mass of an ovarian cyst is less than 125px, it is suspected to be a non-tumor ovarian cyst of an ovarian tumor-like lesion. Short-term observation and treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be performed.
