What are the clinical features of female adnexal cysts?

Ovarian cyst is a gynecological disease that seriously threatens the health of modern women. Therefore, when women find that they have ovarian cysts, they need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately. This requires women to understand some of the early symptoms of ovarian cysts in their daily lives. This can effectively prevent the disease from worsening and becoming difficult to cure. Let us learn about it together!

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal tumors

It is the most common phenomenon in the chief complaint. The patient realizes that his clothes or belt seem tight and small, and then notices that his abdomen is enlarged, or he feels it occasionally in the morning, so he presses his abdomen and finds a tumor in his abdomen, coupled with abdominal distension and discomfort.

3. Abdominal pain

If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, abdominal pain felt by patients with ovarian tumors, especially those that occur suddenly, is mostly caused by torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by tumor rupture, bleeding or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, and the pain often causes patients to seek emergency treatment.

4. Menstrual disorders

Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissue. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine in nature. It may be caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessel distribution, causing endometrial congestion; or it may be caused by ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasizing to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory influences.

Therefore, for female friends, if they find that they have ovarian cysts in their daily lives, they must actively go to the hospital for treatment. At the same time, the editor recommends that you should choose to eat more light foods during the treatment period, and develop good living habits. This can prevent the occurrence of ovarian cysts, so that you can be a truly healthy woman.
