What are the effects of ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cyst is a very common gynecological disease. There are many causes for this disease. Generally speaking, ovarian cyst is quite harmful to the human body. If it is benign, most of them can be cured, but if it is a malignant cyst, it must be treated surgically. Ovarian cyst must be taken seriously. Let me introduce to you the dangers of ovarian cysts!

The dangers of ovarian cysts

1. Lower abdominal pain: Due to the weight of the tumor itself, as well as the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the cyst moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have lower abdominal distension, heaviness, and pain, which can easily be mistaken for some common gynecological inflammation or gastroenteritis.

2. Cause edema and affect life: In addition to loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal swelling, patients with ovarian cysts may also experience vomiting, fever and severe abdominal pain; in the later stages, it may even cause edema in the abdomen and limbs.

3. Causes premature aging of women’s appearance: Ovarian cysts can also cause endocrine disorders in women, causing premature aging.

4. Cause miscarriage and dystocia: Ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, and ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is prone to occur during pregnancy interruption. In late pregnancy, severe torsion may lead to abnormal fetal position, which may block the birth canal and cause dystocia during delivery.

5. Causes infertility: Early ovarian cysts will cause lower abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities. When cysts affect hormone production, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or increased hair growth may occur. When the disease develops to the middle and late stages, patients will experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, frequent urination and painful urination. If not treated in time, it will eventually lead to infertility.

6. Canceration, life-threatening: Enlarged ovarian cysts are very likely to become infected, twisted, bleed or burst, posing a threat to the patient's life. Some tumor cysts may even become cancerous.

From the above introduction, we can see that ovarian cysts are very harmful. Not only will they cause abdominal pain, edema, and premature aging of the face, but they may also lead to dystocia, infertility, and even the possibility of cancer. Therefore, when ovarian cysts occur, they should be treated in time.
