What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?

The early symptoms of ovarian cysts are not very obvious. Once the condition worsens, it will become more serious and passive. Let’s take a look at the specific symptoms below.

1. Increased abdominal circumference and swollen abdomen

This symptom is the most common, usually patients notice that their clothes or belts look tight, just notice that the abdomen has increased a lot, or feel it occasionally in the morning, so they find that the abdomen is swollen, plus bloating discomfort. This symptom is also easy to ignore in the early stages because patients may think it is the result of obesity.

2. Abdominal pain

If the tumor is uncomplicated, pain is rare. Patients with ovarian cysts who experience abdominal pain, especially when it develops suddenly, usually have torsion of the tumor pedicle and occasionally have ruptured, bled, or become infected.

Malignant cysts often cause abdominal and leg pain, which often causes patients to go to the emergency room. This symptom of ovarian cysts is relatively rare.

3. Menstrual disorders

Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause symptoms of menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues.
