Can symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts cause infertility?

Ovarian mucous cysts can be physiological and disappear naturally with the changes in the menstrual cycle. The most common pathological ovarian cysts are serous cystadenoma and mucinous cystadenoma.

Symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts include:

1. Benign mucinous cystadenoma is rare on both sides. Generally speaking, compression syndrome is easy to occur.

2. Pelvic masses and ascites are common in borderline mucinous cystadenomas, and abdominal pain or distension may also occur.

3. The symptoms of mucinous cystadenoma are similar to those of serous carcinoma, but unilateral cystadenoma is more common than serous carcinoma. It is generally manifested by abdominal swelling, abdominal distension, abdominal pain or compression symptoms. Cachexia and weight loss may occur in the late stage, and a small number of patients may also have menstrual changes. Complications: Occasionally combined with appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma and peritoneal pseudomyxoma. Benign mucinous cystadenoma should be noted for the combination of borderline or malignant mucinous carcinoma. The chance of pregnancy is 3 to 4 times higher than that of serous cystadenoma.

The ovaries are where the eggs develop, mature and are released, and the follicles at different stages are in the ovarian cortex. If the ovaries are damaged, the development, maturation and release of the eggs are impaired, which can lead to infertility. Ovarian mucocysts are a type of ovarian tumor, and their infertility mechanism is related to interference with ovulation function.

Ovarian thyroid tumors, ovarian granulosa and other ovarian cysts with endocrine functions - theca cell tumors, testicular blastoma, etc., due to the different tumor tissue components, will produce some corresponding hormones, which interfere with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and ovulation, and cause symptoms such as amenorrhea, uterine bleeding, hirsutism, and infertility.
