Will ovarian cysts cause stomach pain? How to treat it?

Ovarian cysts are one of the more common tumor diseases in women. Especially when the cyst is twisted, there will be more severe abdominal pain, dyspnea, loss of appetite, nausea and fever. In addition to causing abdominal pain, ovarian cysts can also cause abdominal pain.

There may also be the following symptoms:

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom of the patient before the lower abdominal mass is touched. Due to the weight of the tumor itself, as well as the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass: Most patients with ovarian cysts only notice the enlargement of their abdomen when they find that their clothes or belts seem tight, or they feel it occasionally in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find a mass in the abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

Generally speaking, if the cyst diameter is less than 5 cm and there is no evidence to suggest a tumor, it is mostly a functional cyst and can be closely followed up, that is, checked once every 2-3 months, and the inspection interval can be adjusted according to the situation; if the cyst diameter is greater than 5 cm, it is mostly an ovarian tumor and generally requires surgical treatment; if it is accompanied by progressively worsening dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, and tender nodules in the pelvis, endometriosis, also known as chocolate cyst, should be considered.
