What are the causes of left uterine adnexal cysts?

Uterine adnexal cysts are a very common female disease in our clinical practice. Because the uterus has two sides, uterine adnexal cysts often only appear on one side. No matter which side the adnexal cyst appears on, its main cause is inflammation or endocrine disorders. Many women don’t know what the symptoms of uterine adnexal cysts are? Let me tell you now!

Increased abdominal circumference and abdominal mass

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

stomach ache

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.

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.

Compression symptoms

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.
