What are the early symptoms of malignant ovarian cysts?

When we talk about malignant ovarian cysts, female friends will feel particularly worried, fearing that they will also suffer from the disease. However, the incidence of ovarian cysts has indeed been increasing, so it is necessary for everyone to have a better understanding of it, especially to know the specific symptoms, which will help to detect the disease in time. What kind of reaction will occur after ovarian cysts grow?

1. Discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is the initial symptom before the patient feels a lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibulum ligament, causing the patient to have a feeling of fullness and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

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

3. Abdominal pain. If the tumor has no complications, there is very little pain. Therefore, abdominal pain felt by patients with ovarian tumors, especially those that occur suddenly, is mostly caused by torsion of the tumor pedicle, or occasionally by 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.

4. 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.

The symptoms described in this article may all occur in patients with ovarian cysts, but they are generally easy to detect. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to observe their own abnormal reactions and insist on regular gynecological examinations, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating the disease.
