The three main symptoms of ovarian cysts

The symptoms of ovarian cysts are very similar to those of many gynecological diseases in the early stages, so they are often ignored. Although ovarian cysts are considered benign tumors and generally do not cause any major damage to the patient's body, it is also very important to detect the symptoms of ovarian cysts early.

1. Abdominal pain

Symptoms of ovarian cysts often include abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is usually little pain. If patients with ovarian cysts feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is usually due to torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to 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.

2. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

Female friends who experience lower abdominal discomfort should pay attention to it. 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, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing patients to have symptoms of ovarian cysts such as fullness and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

3. Menstrual disorders

Ovarian cysts may also cause menstrual disorders. Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues.

The above are the more common symptoms of ovarian cysts, which are very similar to general gynecological diseases. After investigation, most of the symptoms of ovarian cysts are discovered during gynecological examinations. Therefore, regular gynecological examinations are responsible for women's health.
