Ovarian cysts usually cause lower abdominal discomfort

Ovarian cysts usually cause discomfort in the lower abdomen, and people may also experience some compression symptoms. Do you know what the symptoms of ovarian cysts are? This is a question that people ask a lot, and the following authoritative experts will explain it to you in detail.

Symptoms of ovarian cysts generally include the following:

1. Symptoms of ovarian cysts include lower abdominal discomfort, which is the initial symptom before the patient feels a lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and body position changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass are the most common symptoms. Patients notice that their clothes or belts are too tight, and they just notice that their abdomen is enlarged, or they feel it by chance in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort. These are the symptoms of ovarian cysts.

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

4. Menstrual disorders Ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, usually 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 pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects.

5. 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 effusions. And often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome, which is also a symptom of ovarian cysts.

The above is the explanation given by experts on the symptoms of ovarian cysts. If you have most of the above symptoms, it is best to go to the hospital to see if you have ovarian cysts. Experts suggest that some diseases have no early symptoms or are not obvious. For your health, the best way is to have regular physical examinations, detect the disease as soon as possible, and prescribe the right medicine.
