Why do women get ovarian cysts?
A woman produces 20 follicles in a month, one of which must survive to produce an egg, and the other 19 follicles are discharged through the menstrual period, if the ovaries fail to discharge, they all die and become garbage, which can easily form chocolate cysts. There are also cysts that are formed after the atmosphere has been created before and after the menstrual period. When the ovaries are removed, large butterfly spots grow on the face.
What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts?
I. Symptoms
Ovarian cysts do not have obvious clinical manifestations in the early stages, and patients are often found only when they go to the gynecological examination for other diseases. The first symptom is discomfort in the lower abdomen, swelling and a feeling of falling in the lower abdomen or skeletal fossa. If the cyst is twisted, there is severe abdominal pain, abdominal tenting, difficulty in breathing, decreased appetite, nausea and fever. Larger cysts can cause pressure near the bladder, causing frequent urination and difficulty in urination.
1.Abdominal masses
The most characteristic feature of intra-abdominal masses of less than moderate size, in the absence of complications or malignancy, is their movability, often being able to push from the pelvis to the abdominal cavity. The mass is usually not painful to the touch, but if there are complications or malignant changes, not only does the mass itself have pressure pain, but even symptoms of peritoneal irritation appear.
2.Signs of ascites
The presence of ascites is often a feature of malignant tumors, but benign cysts such as ovarian fibroids and papillary cystadenomas can also produce ascites. Endocrine symptoms such as hirsutism, coarse voice, enlarged clitoris, etc. are masculinizing cysts.
3. Cachexia
It is characterized by extremely enlarged abdomen, significant wasting, painful facial expression and severe failure.
What are the dangers of ovarian cysts?
The main hazards of having ovarian cysts for women are
1, the emergence of edema, affecting life. In the later stages of the disease, it may even lead to edema in the abdomen and extremities.
2, leading to the premature aging of female appearance. Endocrine disorders, premature aging, and malignant changes.
3.Even if pregnant, it may cause miscarriage and obstructed labor. Threaten women’s life and health.
4.It causes infertility and affects fertility. Ovarian cysts can prevent sperm, eggs or fertilized eggs from functioning normally, thus affecting fertility and leading to the ill-effects of infertility.
5. In serious cases, cancer can occur, threatening women’s lives. Some tumorigenic cysts may even become cancerous.
What are the possible complications of ovarian cysts?
1. Ovarian tumors
A tumor that occurs on the ovary. It is one of the common ovarian tumors in female genitalia. There are no obvious symptoms in the early stage of ovarian tumor, but usually there are lower abdominal discomfort, thickening of abdominal circumference, intra-abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, pressure symptoms, menstrual disorders, etc. To date, the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer is still only 25%-30%, which is the most threatening disease among gynecological tumors.
2. Tumor torsion
About 10% of ovarian tumors undergo torsion. The condition of ovarian tumor torsion is that the tumor tip is long and the tumor is fist-sized to fetal head-sized, which can cause swelling, bleeding, necrosis, rupture and infection.
3.Rupture and penetration
The rupture rate of ovarian tumor is about 3%, and malignant teratoma is most likely to rupture. It can cause bleeding of varying degrees in the fishy cavity and even cause shock. The content of different tumors can lead to reperfusion, intestinal adhesions and even intestinal obstruction in the abdominal cavity.
b. Infection
The incidence of ovarian tumor combined with infection is 20% at the highest. The ovarian tumor is twisted or punctured and adheres to the intestinal canal, secondary to E. coli infection. Sometimes it is misdiagnosed as abscess. Patients mostly feel a lump in the lower abdomen first and then have abdominal pain, elevated body temperature and other symptoms of infection.
