What diseases can premature ovarian failure cause?

Premature ovarian failure is a disease that women are more likely to suffer from. There are many reasons for this disease, which may be genetic factors, bad living habits, or not paying enough attention to maintaining the ovaries in daily life, etc. This situation has a great impact on women's bodies and may cause some other diseases. So what diseases can premature ovarian failure cause? Let's introduce it in detail below.

1. Pedicle torsion is common and is one of the gynecological acute abdominal diseases. It is more common in cystic tumors with long pedicles, medium size, high mobility, and center of gravity biased to one side. It often occurs during sudden changes in body position, early pregnancy, or after delivery. After the pedicle is twisted, the venous return of the tumor is blocked, causing congestion, purple-brown color, and even rupture of blood vessels and bleeding. Arterial obstruction may cause tumor necrosis and infection. In acute pedicle torsion, the patient suddenly experiences severe lower abdominal pain, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even shock in severe cases. During the examination, the abdominal wall muscles on the affected side were tense, tenderness was significant, and the mass was quite tense. Once diagnosed, the tumor should be removed surgically immediately. During the operation, the twisted pedicle should not be turned back. It is advisable to clamp and cut off the proximal part of the twisted pedicle to prevent the thrombus from falling off and entering the blood circulation.

2. Tumor rupture may be caused by spontaneous rupture due to ischemic necrosis of the cyst wall or tumor erosion and penetration of the cyst wall; or traumatic rupture due to squeezing, delivery, gynecological examination and puncture. After rupture, the cyst fluid flows into the abdominal cavity and irritates the peritoneum, which can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and even shock. During the examination, there are signs of abdominal irritation such as abdominal wall tension, tenderness, rebound pain, etc., and the original mass has shrunk or disappeared. After the diagnosis is confirmed, laparotomy should be performed immediately to remove the cyst and clean the peritoneum.

3. Infection is less common and is usually secondary to tumor pedicle torsion or rupture. The main symptoms include fever, abdominal pain, increased white blood cell count and varying degrees of peritonitis. The infection should be actively controlled and surgical exploration should be performed at a later date.

4. Malignant transformation: Malignant transformation of benign ovarian tumors often occurs in older women, especially after menopause. The tumor grows rapidly in a short period of time, and the patient feels abdominal distension and loss of appetite. Examination shows that the tumor volume has increased significantly, is fixed, and often has ascites. Those suspected of malignant transformation should be treated promptly.
