What diseases are easily confused with ovarian cysts?

Gynecological diseases are very complicated and there are many types. Sometimes one disease can lead to many other diseases. Ovarian cysts are one of the more troublesome ones, and they can also be confused with other diseases. Therefore, if you want to diagnose ovarian cysts, you must first rule out similar diseases.

Gynecologists have listed the following symptoms that are easily confused based on their experience in diagnosing ovarian cysts:

1. Ovarian tumor-like lesions: Follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts are the most common. They are usually unilateral, less than 5 cm in diameter, with thin walls, and disappear on their own within 2 months.

2. Fallopian tube and ovarian cysts: They are inflammatory cysts, often with a history of infertility or pelvic infection. Cystic masses form in the adnexal areas on both sides, with clear or unclear boundaries and limited movement.

3. Uterine fibroids: Subserosal fibroids or cystic changes of fibroids can be easily confused with ovarian solid tumors or cysts. Fibroids are often multiple, connected to the uterus, and accompanied by menstrual abnormalities such as menorrhagia. During examination, the tumor moves with the uterine body and cervix.

4. Pregnant uterus: In early pregnancy, the uterine body and cervix seem to be disconnected during triple examination, and the soft uterine body is easily mistaken for an ovarian tumor. However, if the pregnant woman has a history of amenorrhea, it can be identified by detailed medical history, HCG measurement or B-ultrasound examination.

5. Ascites: Large amounts of ascites should be differentiated from giant ovarian cysts. Ascites often occurs in patients with a history of liver disease or heart disease. When lying flat, the two sides of the abdomen bulge like a frog's belly. Percussion produces a tympanic sound in the middle of the abdomen, solid sounds on both sides, and positive shifting dullness. When lying flat, patients with giant cysts have a bulge in the middle of the abdomen, dull sounds on percussion, tympanic sounds on both sides of the abdomen, and negative shifting dullness. The boundaries of the lower abdominal mass are clear, and B-type ultrasound examination can be used for differentiation.

The first step to cure a disease is to find the root cause. If the diagnosis of the disease is wrong, it is impossible to cure the disease. Many patients with ovarian cysts delay their treatment for this reason. Therefore, I hope that the majority of female comrades will pay more attention to the above content, so as to do a good job in the diagnosis of ovarian cysts and promote the smooth progress of treatment.
