How to determine the size of ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

1. Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stage, and patients are often found only during gynecological examinations when they seek medical treatment for other diseases. Later, as the tumor grows, patients will feel it, and the symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

2. If the intra-abdominal mass is medium or smaller, and there is no complication or malignancy, its biggest feature is mobility, and it can often move from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity. The mass is generally not tender, but if there is a complication or malignancy, not only will the mass itself be tender, but there may even be symptoms of peritoneal irritation.

3. The diagnosis of ovarian tumors often varies in difficulty depending on the size and characteristics of the tumor. When inquiring about the medical history in detail, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the reproductive organs, but also to the general condition and the relevant medical history of other important organs. Combining clinical manifestations with physical examinations, in addition to paying attention to the characteristics of the tumor itself, the general condition should also be understood. Therefore, not only gynecological examinations, but also general examinations, especially abdominal examinations are also extremely important.

4. When necessary, other auxiliary diagnostic methods should be used, such as pregnancy test, whole gastrointestinal X-ray fluoroscopy, hysterosalpingography, intravenous pyelography, ultrasound diagnosis or CT, MRI, and in some special cases, abdominal puncture, laparoscopy, laparotomy, etc., combined with a comprehensive analysis of the medical history to obtain a correct diagnosis.
