What are the symptoms of uterine and ovarian cysts? Will there be abdominal discomfort?

Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages, and patients often discover other diseases during gynecological examinations. As the tumor grows, patients will experience symptoms and signs depending on the nature, size, development, secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

1. Lower abdominal discomfort

Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and posture changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing distension and descent of the lower abdomen or fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and swollen abdomen

This is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient will only notice the enlargement of the abdomen when he realizes that his clothes or belt seem tight, or he will feel it accidentally in the morning. He presses on the abdomen and finds swelling and abdominal distension discomfort.

3. Abdominal pain

For example, the tumors have no complications and pain is rare. Patients with ovarian tumors experience abdominal pain, especially when it occurs suddenly, which is mostly caused by torsion of the tumor pedicle, occasional tumor rupture, bleeding, or infection. Malignant cysts mainly cause abdominal pain and leg pain.
