Don't give ovarian cysts a chance!

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur at any age, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female genitalia, with various properties and forms. Early diagnosis is difficult, and 70% of them are in the late stage when they are treated. Early treatment is rarely available, and the 5-year survival rate has always hovered at 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives. Therefore, we must understand the symptoms of ovarian cysts so that we can effectively treat them.

1) Symptoms of ovarian cysts include lower abdominal distension and pain as 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, pulling on its pedicle and pelvic funnel ligament, causing the patient to feel distension and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2) Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass. This is the most common phenomenon in the main complaint. The patient finds that his clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then he notices that his abdomen is enlarged, or he feels it accidentally in the morning, so he presses his abdomen and finds that there is a mass in the abdomen, plus abdominal distension and discomfort, which is one of the symptoms of ovarian cysts.

3) Symptoms of ovarian cysts also include 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 due to the twisting 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.

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, or it is caused by ovarian tumors that change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels, causing endometrial congestion; or it is caused by ovarian malignant tumors that directly metastasize to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory effects, which is one of the symptoms of ovarian cysts.

Since the symptoms of early ovarian cysts are not very clear, and the incidence rate is becoming younger and younger, everyone should have regular gynecological examinations. Even for young girls, as long as they have had their first menstruation, it is best to have an abdominal B-ultrasound once a year, so that they can be discovered and resolved as early as possible.
