Consequences of right uterine adnexal cyst

Uterine right adnexal cyst is a gynecological disease in women. There are so many gynecological diseases so female friends must take good care of themselves in daily life. This is the correct thing to do. This disease is more common in women between 20 and 50 years old. This disease is also one of the most serious tumors that threaten women's lives. Therefore, it is best to have regular check-ups after marriage. This is the best way to test for gynecological diseases, which can also put our minds at ease. Now let's take a look at what is going on with this issue.

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system and have various properties and morphologies, among which cystic tumors are the most common and have a high degree of malignant transformation. Early diagnosis is difficult, and 70% of cases are already in the advanced stage when seeking medical treatment. Early treatment is rarely available, and the 5-year survival rate has always hovered around 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives.

Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages and are often discovered only during gynecological examinations when patients seek medical treatment for other diseases. Later, as the tumor grows, patients begin to feel it. The symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

Later, as the tumor grows, patients begin to feel it. The symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen

It 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 mass

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

3. Abdominal pain

If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly due to torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally due to 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, or even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine, but is caused by ovarian tumors that change the pelvic blood vessel distribution, causing endometrial congestion; or it is caused by direct metastasis of ovarian malignant tumors to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory influences.

5. Compression symptoms

Huge ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause these symptoms. However, the dyspnea of ​​some ovarian tumor patients is caused by unilateral or bilateral pleural effusion, and is often combined with ascites, forming the so-called Meigs syndrome.

A huge benign ovarian cyst fills the entire abdominal cavity, increasing the intra-abdominal pressure, affecting the venous return of the lower limbs, and can lead to edema of the abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs; while a malignant ovarian cyst fixed in the pelvic cavity compresses the iliac vein, often causing edema of one side of the lower limb.

The pelvic and abdominal organs are compressed, causing dysuria, urinary retention, urgency or difficulty in defecation.

Based on the above statements, we know that this is a very serious gynecological disease, a type of tumor. Once discovered, it must be treated immediately. It may be painful, but early detection and early treatment will lead to more cases of cure in the early stages of the disease. Therefore, we must pay attention to our living habits, keep clean, and eat less things that are bad for the body. I hope the above information can help everyone.
