What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts? Will it cause dysmenorrhea?

Symptoms of ovarian cysts include:

1. Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain that occurs suddenly, which is mostly caused by tumor pedicle twisting or tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain. Pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

2. 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, as well as the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

3. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass: Patients with ovarian cysts find that their shirts or belts seem tight and small, and then they notice the enlargement of their abdomen, or they feel it occasionally in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find a mass in their abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

4. If the cyst twists, there will be severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension, difficulty breathing, decreased appetite, nausea and fever.

Ovarian cysts are a relatively complex and common gynecological disease, which is caused by endometriosis. The endometrium of mature women is shed once a month, which is menstruation.

Ovarian cysts cause extensive adhesions of pelvic organs. Every time menstruation comes, the endometrium that migrates to the ovaries will also bleed. The blood that is discharged again and again cannot be discharged from the body and accumulates in the ovaries to form a cyst. This cyst can grow to a larger size, ranging from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters in diameter, which is usually called endometriosis. Ovarian cysts can cause women to experience extreme pain during each menstrual period.
