What harm does ovarian cyst do to women? How to take good care of them after surgery

Once an ovarian cyst appears, it is difficult to get rid of it. Female friends are afraid of suffering from ovarian cysts, and patients cannot blindly choose treatment methods. So, what harm does ovarian cysts do to women? How to take good care after surgery?

Self-diagnosis of ovarian cysts is generally easy, but most patients cannot make their own decisions because many of the symptoms are the same as other diseases. The self-diagnosis method of ovarian cysts is as follows:

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

2. Compression symptoms. Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with large amounts of ascites can also cause such symptoms. However, some ovarian tumor patients have dyspnea due to unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, including frequent urination without urinary pain or urgency, or constipation, which are all aspects of self-diagnosis of ovarian cysts.

3. Self-diagnosis of ovarian cysts can also be diagnosed through increased abdominal circumference and abdominal swelling. The patient notices that his or her clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then notices the enlarged abdomen, or feels it accidentally in the morning, so he or she presses the abdomen and finds a swelling in the abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

For the postoperative care of ovarian cysts, you should pay attention to your life. Remember to have a postoperative checkup to ensure the success of the operation. Pay attention to proper rest and maintenance. Keep warm and don't catch a cold; pay attention to rest and don't do excessive physical labor; pay attention to hygiene, don't leave your underwear unchanged for several days, and don't wear airtight synthetic underwear.
