What are the most common complications of ovarian tumors?

If ovarian tumors are not treated effectively, the harm caused is relatively large, and there may also be some complications, such as tumor pedicle torsion, which is a common complication. Therefore, the treatment of ovarian tumors must be carried out as early as possible.

1. This complication of ovarian tumor is called tumor pedicle torsion. This is a complication of ovarian tumor torsion that occurs approximately 10% of the time. In fact, the site where torsion occurs in ovarian tumors is on the pedicle of the ovarian tumor. Therefore, the name of this complication is also called ovarian tumor pedicle torsion. So what is the cause of ovarian tumor pedicle torsion? This is because during the process of tumor pedicle reduction, it will be similar in size to the head of a fetus. And it has nothing to do with the surrounding organizations. Therefore, the tumor will be relatively easier to move in the abdominal cavity.

2. Therefore, this complication of ovarian tumor usually occurs in benign ovarian tumors. In a random interview with a group of patients, those with ovarian tumors said that before the onset of pain, they had tried to get up or bend over, but sometimes they would suddenly wake up because of the pain.

3. Generally, this complication of ovarian tumor occurs in pregnant women. During pregnancy, the ovarian tumor slowly rises into the abdominal cavity along with the uterus. Because the space for movement becomes larger, the uterus will shrink and the abdominal wall will relax after delivery. This will give the ovarian tumor more room to move, making pedicle torsion more likely to occur. Generally, when this complication occurs, patients with ovarian tumors will suddenly feel severe pain in their lower abdomen. If the torsion phenomenon is very severe, the patient will usually also experience vomiting. Or there may be a small amount of bleeding in the uterus. Patients with ovarian tumors may also have some movable masses in the lower abdomen, and similar abdominal pain may occur several times.

4. Therefore, patients should choose a professional cancer hospital for examination and treatment during the treatment period. This can reduce the probability of complications and also allow for correct and effective treatment to be given at the first opportunity.
