What are the symptoms of ovarian cyst torsion?

When does an ovarian cyst torsion occur? What are the symptoms?

1. Ovarian cyst is a broad ovarian tumor that can occur at any age, but is most common in women aged 20 to 50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female genitalia, with single or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant, among which cysts are common and the degree of malignant changes is very high.

2. Early diagnosis is difficult. 70% of patients are in the late stage when they seek medical treatment. Early treatment is rare and the 5-year survival rate has been hovering around 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives.

3. Ovarian tumor torsion occurs in about 10%. The conditions for ovarian tumor pedicle torsion are that the pedicle is long and the tumor is as big as a fist or a fetal head, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissue, and the tumor is easy to move in the abdominal cavity. Cystic teratomas, mucinous and serous cystadenomas are most likely to have pedicle torsion. The pedicle of this type of tumor is generally longer and the center of gravity is biased to one side. The tumor is easily rotated by intestinal peristalsis or changes in posture. Many patients claim that they get up or bend over before the onset of pain, but sometimes patients wake up due to pain attacks and may turn over or have intestinal peristalsis in their sleep.

4. If the ovarian tumor patient is pregnant, the tumor pedicle torsion mainly occurs in the first half of pregnancy or after delivery. During the second trimester, the ovarian tumor enters the abdominal cavity with the uterus, and its activity space is larger than the pelvic cavity. The uterus shrinks, the abdominal wall relaxes, and the ovarian tumor has a larger activity space, which is also prone to pedicle torsion.
