Are there any complications of ovarian cysts?

1. Infection: It usually occurs when the tumor pedicle twists or ruptures. The main symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, elevated white blood cell count and varying degrees of peritonitis.

2. Malignant changes: Malignant changes of benign ovarian tumors often occur in older women, especially after menopause. The tumor grows rapidly in a short period of time, and the patient feels bloating, loss of appetite, and a significant increase in tumor size, fixation, and more ascites. Suspected malignant changes should be treated promptly.

3. Tumor rupture: Spontaneous rupture caused by ischemic necrosis of the cyst wall or tumor erosion; or traumatic rupture caused by squeezing, delivery, gynecological examination and puncture. After rupture, the cyst fluid flows into the abdominal cavity, irritating the peritoneum, causing severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and even shock.

Note:

1. During menstruation, all strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor are prohibited. Pay attention to controlling your emotions and don't hold your temper, otherwise it will lead to endocrine disorders. If endocrine disorders occur, they can be adjusted through diet therapy. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during menstruation.

2. If sudden paroxysmal cramps in the lower abdomen, or gynecological examination or B-ultrasound indicates ovarian tumor torsion, surgery or conservative treatment should also be performed in a timely manner. The best time for women to treat ovarian cysts is within 3 to 7 days after menstruation, and surgery should be performed during this period as much as possible.

3. If endometriosis is found and the ovarian chocolate cyst is larger than 6 cm, you must keep your emotions stable and avoid overwork during the menstrual period or mid-menstrual period, because once the tension in the cyst suddenly increases and the cyst wall ruptures, acute abdomen will occur.

4. Maintaining an optimistic and cheerful mood can enhance the body's immunity. Keep warm and avoid colds.

5. Do a good job of family planning. If you want to have an abortion, you must go to a professional and regular hospital.

6. Patients with malignant ovarian tumors should undergo surgery first, followed by a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment.
