What are the clinical symptoms of ovarian cysts? Is the condition serious?

The main clinical symptoms of ovarian cysts are:

1. Ovarian tumor

What are the complications of ovarian cysts? Ovarian cysts often induce ovarian tumors. Although the ovaries are small in size, they are the organs most likely to develop tumors; the number of tumor types is also the highest among all organs in the body. Ovarian cysts are a common gynecological disease. They can occur at any age, but are more common in women of childbearing age. Because the ovaries are located in the pelvic cavity, they cannot be directly observed, and there are no symptoms in the early stages. There is a lack of good early diagnosis and differentiation methods. Once a malignant tumor is discovered, it is often an advanced lesion. Therefore, to date, the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer is still only 25%-30%, making it the most threatening disease among gynecological tumors.

2. Ovarian rupture or perforation

The former refers to the cyst rupture or squeeze, and its contents overflow into the abdominal cavity; the latter refers to the cyst contents eroding the cyst wall and entering the abdominal cavity, such as the papillary processes of serous cystadenomas or cancers penetrating the tumor wall. The rupture rate of ovarian tumors is about 3%, and malignant teratomas are most likely to rupture. Spontaneous rupture is more common. Due to rapid growth, the local blood supply of the cyst wall is insufficient, and the incremental cystic fluid breaks out from the weak part of the cyst wall and overflows into the abdominal cavity. Different tumor contents can cause different consequences in the abdominal cavity, and in the process of forming these conditions, it can cause complex inflammation, intestinal adhesions, and even intestinal obstruction.
