For patients with mucinous ovarian cysts, it is very necessary to understand the causes and symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts. So what are the causes and symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts? Next, this article will introduce the causes and symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts. Friends who want to know more about the relevant knowledge can take a look!

1. Causes of mucinous ovarian cysts

1. Genetic factors

According to statistics, 20% to 25% of ovarian tumor patients have a family history.

2. Endocrine factors

The ovaries are important organs for ovulation and secretion of gonadal hormones. Ovarian tumors often occur during the reproductive age. Clinically, the basic pathophysiological change in many patients with ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome is that the ovaries produce too much androgen, and the excessive production of androgen is the result of the synergistic effect of abnormal functions of multiple endocrine systems in the body.

3. Lifestyle factors

Long-term bad diet structure, living habits, and excessive psychological stress can lead to physiological ovarian cysts and true ovarian tumors.

4. Environmental factors

Food contamination, such as plant growth hormones used in vegetables, and hormone ingredients such as clenbuterol in formula feeding of livestock and poultry. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and changes in eating habits in my country, as well as the abuse of hormone drugs and tonics such as breast augmentation, weight loss, and anti-aging by some young and middle-aged women, the high incidence and younger age of ovarian tumors may also be related.

2. Symptoms of mucous ovarian cysts

1. Increased abdominal circumference

Many patients are particularly troubled. Although they are actively trying to lose weight, they still cannot achieve a slim waist and instead have a protruding belly. Little do they know that this phenomenon may be a typical symptom of ovarian cysts. Patients often find that their waists are always tight and their abdominal circumference tends to increase, which is more obvious in the morning. Some patients also experience abdominal distension, and when pressing the abdomen, they find a swelling in the abdomen.

2. Abdominal pain

Patients with ovarian cysts often experience abdominal pain when they stand up after exercise or sitting still. This is mainly due to the pain caused by the fluid accumulated in the cyst causing the ovaries to sag under the action of gravity. Some patients may also have leg pain.

3. Dysmenorrhea

The dysmenorrhea symptoms of patients with ovarian cysts are continuously aggravated, which is mainly due to the fact that ovarian cysts involve the endometrium, causing endocrine dysfunction and triggering menstrual disorders.

4. Palpitations

The symptoms of palpitations are mainly caused by ovarian cysts compressing the diaphragm, causing difficulty in breathing, and in severe cases even difficulty in breathing. It should be noted that if the patient has difficulty breathing, the possibility of pleural effusion should be considered, which is often accompanied by ascites.

Mucinous ovarian cysts must be detected and treated early. Many women have ovarian cysts but have not discovered them, which delays the best treatment period. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts.

I believe that after reading the above introduction, you will have some understanding of the causes and symptoms of mucinous ovarian cysts.
