Will ovarian cysts affect pregnancy? What are the main symptoms?

The main symptoms of ovarian cysts are:

1. Lower abdominal discomfort: This 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 posture changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel swelling and sagging in the lower abdomen or fossa.

2. Thickening of abdominal circumference and swelling of abdomen: It is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient realizes that his clothes or belt look tight, but he only notices the enlargement of the abdomen, or feels it by chance in the morning, so he finds that the abdomen is swollen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, the pain is rare. Patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially those with sudden onset, which is often caused by tumor pedicle torsion, occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. Malignant cysts mainly cause abdominal pain and leg pain, which usually causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

4. Menstrual disorders: Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, or it may be caused by ovarian tumors changing the pelvic blood vessel distribution, leading to endometrial congestion.

5. Compression symptoms: 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. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, and is often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.
