Will ovarian cysts cause abdominal pain in the early stages? Why?

Ovarian cysts are one of the more common tumor diseases in women. Especially when the cyst is twisted, there will be more severe abdominal pain, bloating, difficulty breathing, decreased appetite, nausea and fever. In addition to causing abdominal pain, ovarian cysts can also cause the following symptoms:

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom of the patient before the lower abdominal mass is touched. Due to the weight of the tumor itself, as well as the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass: Most patients with ovarian cysts only notice the enlargement of their abdomen when they find that their clothes or belts seem tight, or they feel it occasionally in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find a mass in the abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

Three situations in which ovarian cysts cause abdominal pain:

1 Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion: It is a very common gynecological acute abdomen, often occurring in cysts with a long pedicle, large mobility, medium size, and a center of gravity biased to one side. Pedicle torsion is prone to occur when the patient's body position changes or during pregnancy or the puerperium due to changes in the position of the uterus. The patient experiences severe abdominal pain or even shock, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

2 Infection: Except for secondary infection after ovarian tumor torsion, infection of adjacent organs, or infection caused by the oily contents of mature teratoma, ovarian tumors are not commonly complicated by infection.

3. Cyst rupture: It can be natural rupture, such as torsion or puncture of the cyst wall by the tumor. It can also be caused by trauma, such as squeezing, childbirth, sexual intercourse, gynecological examination or puncture.
