Symptoms of ovarian dysfunction

In our lives, many women have a lot of problems with their ovaries. When a woman's ovaries are diseased, it will definitely cause a decline in her pregnancy function. Therefore, women must undergo in-depth treatment, because most ovarian abnormalities will cause anovulation, and over time it is likely to cause premature ovarian failure in women. So what are the manifestations of female ovarian abnormalities?

Symptoms of ovarian cysts include:

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom before the patient touches a lump in the lower abdomen. 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: This is the most common 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 will be 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. Compression symptoms: Huge ovarian cysts can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with a large amount of ascites can also cause such symptoms. Huge benign ovarian cysts fill the entire abdominal cavity, increasing the intra-abdominal pressure, affecting the venous return of the lower limbs, which can lead to edema of the abdominal wall and bilateral lower limbs. Malignant ovarian cysts fixed in the pelvic cavity compress 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.

5. Menstrual disorders: Generally, ovarian cysts, even bilateral ovarian cysts, do not cause menstrual disorders because they do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues. 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.
