What are the symptoms of uterine cysts?

The symptoms of uterine cysts vary depending on size, location and nature, but common manifestations include lower abdominal pain, menstrual abnormalities and difficulty urinating or defecating; when symptoms are severe or continue to worsen, you need to see a doctor for a comprehensive examination.

Uterine cysts refer to fluid-filled cystic structures that appear on or around the uterus. Some small cysts may not have obvious symptoms and are usually discovered accidentally during a physical examination; larger cysts may cause dull pain or distension in the lower abdomen, especially during menstruation. Some patients will experience menstrual abnormalities such as increased menstrual flow, irregular bleeding, or prolonged menstruation. When a cyst presses on the bladder or rectum, symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, or constipation may occur. If a cyst ruptures, bleeds, or twists, it can also cause acute and severe abdominal pain, and may be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, or even fainting. In this case, emergency medical attention is required.

To relieve symptoms and prevent further deterioration of cysts, regular gynecological examinations are recommended for early detection and monitoring. For small cysts with mild symptoms and no health impact, oral contraceptives (such as ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets) can stabilize hormone levels and inhibit their growth. For larger cysts or cysts with obvious symptoms, doctors may recommend minimally invasive surgery (such as hysteroscopic cystectomy) for treatment. In terms of diet, you can eat more fiber-rich foods (such as whole grains and green leafy vegetables) to help digestion and reduce abdominal pressure; at the same time, do low-intensity exercises such as jogging or yoga to improve blood circulation and relieve discomfort. If symptoms recur or worsen, you should consult a professional doctor immediately.
