Does ovarian cyst cause lower abdominal pain?

Patients with ovarian cysts around me often feel uneasy and relapse after treatment. It can be seen that ovarian cysts are a disease that cannot be ignored. So, will ovarian cysts cause lower abdominal pain?

Ovarian cysts are very harmful. Common symptoms include pain in the patient's lower abdomen, a feeling of falling, and a feeling of fullness. These symptoms are very similar to those of some gynecological diseases. If the patient does not go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis and misses the best time for treatment, the tumor will move in the pelvic cavity and infect other organs. Over time, the tumor will continue to grow, the abdomen will continue to swell, and further lead to high fever and vomiting, increased pain, and ultimately female infertility or dystocia.

Symptoms of ovarian cysts include:

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

It is the initial symptom before the patient feels a 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 infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass

It is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient finds that his clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then notices the enlargement of the abdomen, or feels it accidentally in the morning, so he presses his abdomen and finds a tumor in the abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. Abdominal pain

If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially when it occurs suddenly. It is mostly caused by torsion of the tumor pedicle. Occasionally, it may be caused by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. Malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain. The pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

Ovarian cysts can cause lower abdominal pain, so patients should go to the hospital for examination once they have symptoms.
