Experts explain the compression symptoms of ovarian cysts

Compression symptoms are a more serious symptom of ovarian cysts, and they appear when the disease develops to the late stage. What are the common symptoms of this type of ovarian cyst ? Let the experts tell you about the specific manifestations of this type of ovarian cyst.

A huge ovarian tumor can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause symptoms of this type of ovarian cyst. A huge benign ovarian cyst fills the entire abdominal cavity, increasing the intra-abdominal pressure and affecting the venous return of the lower limbs, which can lead to symptoms of ovarian cysts with edema of the abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs. A malignant ovarian cyst fixed in the pelvic cavity compresses the iliac vein and often causes edema of one lower limb. The pelvic and abdominal organs are compressed, resulting in dysuria, urinary retention, urgency or difficulty in defecation. The symptoms of this type of ovarian cyst are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Ascites: The presence of ascites is often a characteristic of malignant tumors, but benign cysts such as ovarian fibroma and papillary cystadenoma can also produce ascites. Symptoms of ovarian cysts such as hirsutism, hoarseness of voice, and clitoromegaly are masculinization cysts.

(2) Cachexia: This symptom of ovarian cysts is characterized by extremely distended abdomen, emaciation, painful facial expression and severe exhaustion.

(3) Intra-abdominal mass: If the intra-abdominal mass is medium or smaller and has no complications or malignant transformation, its biggest feature is mobility. It can often move from the pelvic cavity to the abdominal cavity. The mass is generally not tender. However, if there are complications or malignant transformation, not only will the mass itself be tender, but there may even be symptoms of peritoneal irritation. These are all common symptoms of ovarian cysts.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of ovarian cysts. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once the symptoms of ovarian cysts appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
