What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts? Is the abdominal pain obvious?

1. After the occurrence of ovarian cysts, patients will always show some discomfort, especially in the abdomen. The most common phenomenon in the main complaint is the increase in abdominal circumference and abdominal mass. Patients notice that their clothes or belts are too tight and then notice the increase in abdomen, or they accidentally feel it in the morning and press their abdomen to find a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort.

2. Discomfort in the lower abdomen 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, causing the patient to have a feeling of distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

3. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly caused by twisting of the tumor pedicle or occasional tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, which often cause patients to seek emergency treatment.

4. Ovarian cysts do not always have obvious symptoms. Women must understand this, especially when the early symptoms are not obvious. Medium-sized tumors often cause abdominal discomfort and feel a lump that grows upward from one side of the lower abdomen. During a gynecological examination, a spherical lump is touched on one side of the uterus. It is cystic or solid, with a smooth surface and no adhesion to the uterus. The elderly can move freely. Large or huge tumors that fill the pelvis and abdomen may cause compression symptoms, such as frequent urination, constipation, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc. 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 this symptom.
