How to self-diagnose chocolate cysts

What are the main aspects of self-diagnosis of chocolate cysts? We know that self-diagnosis of chocolate cysts is generally very easy, but most patients cannot make their own decisions because many of the symptoms are the same as other diseases. So what are the methods for self-diagnosis of chocolate cysts? The following is the expert's answer, I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a mass in the lower abdomen. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel distension and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa;

2. Self-diagnosis of chocolate cysts can also be diagnosed through thickening of abdominal circumference, enlargement of abdominal mass, and patients' awareness that their clothes or belts seem tight and small, and they just noticed the enlargement of their abdomen, or they accidentally felt it in the morning, so they pressed their abdomen and found a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort;

3. Compression symptoms. Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with large amounts of ascites can also cause such symptoms. However, some ovarian tumor patients have dyspnea due to unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, including frequent urination without urinary pain or urgency, or constipation, which are all aspects of self-diagnosis of ovarian cysts.

4. Menstrual disorders. Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, but may be caused by ovarian tumors that change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium.

5. Abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly caused by the twisting of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment;

I hope the answers from the experts above are helpful to you. If you can understand the above conditions well and make corresponding judgments, you can make your own diagnosis. However, if you still cannot understand the self-diagnosis of chocolate cysts, it is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for corresponding examinations. I wish you a speedy recovery!
