Women with ovarian tumors will have symptoms, so for the sake of their health, female friends must pay attention to early diagnosis and timely treatment.

1. Symptoms

(1) Abdominal discomfort Medium-sized benign tumors or rapidly growing malignant tumors often cause abdominal distension and discomfort.

(2) Benign abdominal masses grow slowly and are difficult to detect, so patients often touch them accidentally. Malignant tumors grow quickly and are easy to detect.

(3) Abdominal pain: When a benign tumor is complicated by pedicle torsion, rupture, bleeding, or infection, abdominal pain of varying degrees may occur. If a malignant tumor infiltrates into the surrounding area or compresses the nerves, it may cause abdominal pain, back pain, or lower limb pain.

(4) Compression symptoms: A large tumor that fills the pelvic cavity may cause compression symptoms such as frequent urination, dysuria, constipation, shortness of breath, palpitations, etc.

(5) Uterine disorders and endocrine symptoms When a tumor produces steroid hormones or destroys both ovaries, it can cause menstrual disorders or abnormal uterine bleeding. Granulosa cell tumors and theca cell tumors can produce excessive estrogen and cause precocious puberty or postmenopausal uterine bleeding. Testicular blastoma can produce excessive androgens and cause masculinization.

(6) Manifestations of metastatic lesions, such as coughing up blood and dyspnea due to lung metastasis and changes in stool, blood in stool, and intestinal obstruction due to intestinal metastasis.

2. Physical signs: Benign ovarian tumors are mostly unilateral and located next to the uterus. It is a spherical, cystic or solid mass with a smooth surface, movable, and clearly demarcated from the uterus. Malignant ovarian tumors are bilateral, solid or partially solid, with an uneven surface and relatively fixed masses. There may be scattered nodules in the rectouterine pouch.
