Patient's question:
I am 55 years old this year, and I am currently experiencing vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Please; what are the common symptoms of patients with ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of ovarian cysts include:1. Irregular menstruation. Ovarian tumors alter the arrangement of pelvic blood vessels, causing the endometrium to become congested; or they may be caused by the direct spread of ovarian malignant tumors to the endometrium.
2. Lower abdominal discomfort. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and its movement influenced by intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, the tumor rapidly moves within the pelvic cavity, pulling on its pedicle and the round ligament of the pelvis, leading to a sensation of fullness or heaviness in the lower abdomen or pelvic region.
