How can women initially self-diagnose ovarian cysts

Ovarian cysts are a disease that causes great distress to women. We must learn to discover symptoms from subtle changes in our daily bodies, so as to make preliminary self-diagnoses of the disease and provide favorable opportunities for early treatment. So, what are the methods for self-diagnosis of ovarian cysts?

1. Increased abdominal circumference

If women recently notice that their clothes or belts have suddenly become tighter, but there have been no major changes in their lifestyle and diet, they should not simply assume that it is due to weight gain. This may also be due to the increase in abdominal swelling, which is mostly accompanied by abdominal bloating and discomfort. They should go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid missing the best time for early treatment of the disease.

2. Sense of oppression

Symptoms caused by compression, such as difficulty breathing, are likely to be caused by the large size of the ovarian cyst compressing the diaphragm or pleural effusion. In severe cases, palpitations or ascites may even occur. Women should not take such symptoms lightly once they develop them.

3. Menstrual disorders

One of the main symptoms of ovarian cysts is menstrual disorders. Since the disease does not destroy all normal ovarian tissue, some women may not have any other symptoms but simply have menstrual cycle disorders. Therefore, if women develop this disease, they must find out the cause.

4. Abdominal pain

Patients with ovarian cysts often experience abdominal pain, and the symptoms occur suddenly, especially when the tumor pedicle twists or the tumor ruptures, bleeds, or becomes infected.
