Does scanty menstruation indicate ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

Ovarian cysts must not be treated with medication blindly, otherwise more complications may occur. So, are there ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

Ovarian cysts can be physiological, i.e. normal cysts that disappear naturally with the changes in the menstrual cycle, or pathological, cysts that are formed by diseases. Physiological cysts do not require surgery, but pathological cysts often require surgery to confirm the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

For women of childbearing age, after the discovery of an ovarian cyst, the next step of treatment depends on the nature of the cyst. B-ultrasound results are very helpful for diagnosis. If the ultrasound shows that the cyst is anechoic and without separation, it can be observed for 3 months and the ultrasound examination can be repeated after 3 months. If the cyst persists, surgical treatment should be considered. Most cysts are pathological cysts and surgery should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

The main symptoms of patients with ovarian cysts are:

1. Abdominal pain: A small number of patients with ovarian cysts will experience abdominal pain. If not treated, the condition will become more and more serious and the abdominal pain will become more and more obvious.

2. Lower abdominal discomfort: Lower abdominal discomfort usually occurs in the early stages of ovarian cysts.

3. Compression symptoms: Some ovarian cysts may even cause breathing difficulties. This is because the tumor brings a sense of pressure to the patient.

4. Increased abdominal circumference and swollen abdomen: If you are careful, you will usually feel the abdomen getting bigger when you get dressed, and some people may experience bloating and discomfort.

5. Menstrual disorders: The occurrence of ovarian cysts can easily damage the normal ovarian tissue and affect menstrual disorders.

Small menstrual flow is generally not a sign of ovarian cysts. Small menstrual flow is generally caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium to prepare for conception. Emotional tension and environmental changes may cause temporary endocrine disorders, increase menstrual blood volume or reduce bleeding during menstruation. This situation will affect future pregnancy due to malnutrition. Heavy work tasks and a lot of activities require more energy and sufficient nutrition and calories.
