What are the symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts?

Malignant ovarian cysts are also ovarian tumors. This disease is mainly common in adult women. Malignant ovarian cysts are a manifestation of malignant disease. The symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts are also relatively obvious. The patient's abdomen may have a lump that grows rapidly and the feeling of abdominal distension is particularly obvious.

1. Pain

Although these diseases, such as malignant ovarian cysts, can also cause lumps on the ovaries, they are different from ovarian cysts. The pain in the right lower abdomen should also be distinguished as being caused by a cyst or other diseases such as pelvic inflammation.

2. Cyst

Pain does not mean that the cyst is getting worse, and there is no absolute relationship between the severity of pain and the extent of the cyst. The more obvious the pain is, the more serious the cyst is not necessarily. To confirm that it is an ovarian cyst, the first thing to do is to determine whether it is benign or malignant. Surgery is the only treatment for malignant ovarian cysts.

3. Abdominal distension

Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, patients may experience symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts such as abdominal distension, abdominal mass and ascites in the short term. When the tumor infiltrates into surrounding tissues or compresses nerves, the patient's symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts include abdominal pain, back pain or lower limb pain. If the pelvic veins are compressed, lower limb edema may occur. If it is a functional tumor, it may produce corresponding symptoms of a malignant ovarian cyst with excessive androgen.

4. Bloody ascites

The symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts in advanced patients show cachexia. During gynecological examination, scattered hard nodules can be felt in the posterior fornix of the vagina. The lumps are mostly lateral, solid or semi-solid, with an uneven surface, fixed, and often accompanied by bloody ascites. Sometimes swollen lymph nodes can be felt in the groin, armpits, or above the collarbone.
