How to detect the symptoms of functional ovarian cysts?

What are the symptoms of functional ovarian cysts? Is it easy to detect?

1. Functional ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stage, and patients are often found only during gynecological examinations when they seek medical treatment for other diseases. Later, as the tumor grows, the patient will feel it, and the symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and intra-abdominal masses are the most common phenomena in patients with functional ovarian cysts. After suffering from ovarian cysts, patients will feel discomfort in the lower abdomen and feel that the waist is thickening. Lower abdominal discomfort is the initial symptom before the patient touches the lower abdominal mass. 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, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, so that the patient has a feeling of distension and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa. Increased abdominal circumference and intra-abdominal masses are the most common phenomena in the main complaints. Patients only notice the enlargement of their abdomen when they realize that their clothes or belts seem tight.

3. The pain caused by functional ovarian cysts may be continuous or dull. Malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain, leg pain, and pain, often requiring patients to seek emergency treatment. Usually, 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 ovarian cysts blocking the birth canal, causing such symptoms. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain.

Patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially those that occur suddenly, which is mostly caused by the twisting of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. Malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.
