What are the symptoms of physiological ovarian cysts?

Physiological ovarian cysts are relatively common gynecological diseases. Many female friends do not know much about this disease, nor do they understand what symptoms will accompany it, so the disease cannot be discovered early when it occurs. Generally, physiological ovarian cysts will have more symptoms, such as abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, feeling of pressure, etc. These symptoms will make patients feel uncomfortable.

Clinical manifestations

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen: This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a mass 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 distension and heaviness in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

2. Increased abdominal circumference and intra-abdominal mass: This is the most common phenomenon. Patients find that their clothes or belts seem tight and then notice the enlargement of their abdomen, or they occasionally feel bloating and discomfort in the morning, so they press their abdomen and find a mass in the abdomen.

3. Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, there will be very little pain. Therefore, if patients with ovarian tumors feel abdominal pain, especially if it occurs suddenly, it is mostly caused by torsion of the cyst pedicle, rupture and bleeding of the tumor, or infection. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain and leg pain, often causing 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, because ovarian tumors change the pelvic blood vessel distribution and cause endometrial congestion; or because ovarian malignant tumors directly metastasize to the endometrium. Menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors are often combined with other secretory influences.

5. Compression symptoms: Larger cysts will cause compression around the bladder, causing frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Large ovarian tumors can cause dyspnea and palpitations due to compression of the diaphragm. Ovarian tumors combined with large amounts of ascites can also cause these symptoms.

6. Infertility: The ovaries are the place where eggs develop, mature and are discharged. The follicles at different stages are in the ovarian cortex. If the ovaries are damaged by cysts, the development, maturation and discharge of the eggs will be impaired, which will lead to infertility. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor, and the mechanism by which they cause infertility is related to interference with ovulation function.
