What are multiple ovarian cysts and what are their symptoms

What are multiple ovarian cysts? What are the symptoms?

Polycystic ovarian disease is caused by hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction that disrupts interdependence and regulation, so the ovaries cannot ovulate for a long time. Polycystic ovarian disease may lead to infertility because the patient cannot ovulate for a long time. Timely understanding of the condition can effectively treat it.

The symptoms of multiple ovarian cysts mainly include the following aspects:

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and posture changes, the initial symptoms before the patient touches the lower abdominal mass cause the tumor to move in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to feel swelling and drop in the lower abdomen or bone fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass: This is the most common phenomenon. The patient notices an increase in the size of the abdomen, or occasionally feels bloated and uncomfortable in the morning, so he presses the abdomen and finds a mass in the abdomen.

3. Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, the pain is rare. Patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially those who have sudden onset, which is mainly caused by cyst pedicle torsion, tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. Malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, often requiring patients to go to the emergency room.

4. Menstrual disorders: Generally, ovarian or even bilateral ovarian cysts do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues and do not cause menstrual disorders. Some uterine bleeding does not belong to endocrine. It is because ovarian tumors change the distribution of pelvic blood vessels and cause endometrial congestion; or because ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasize to the endometrium, menstrual disorders are often combined with other secretory influences.

5. Compression symptoms: Large cysts can compress the area near the bladder, causing frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations, and ovarian tumors with a lot of ascites can also cause this symptom.

6. Infertility: The ovaries are where the eggs develop, mature, and are discharged. If the follicles at different stages of the ovarian cortex are damaged by cysts, the development, maturation, and discharge of the eggs will be impaired, which will lead to infertility.
