Patient's question:
What are the common symptoms of ovarian cysts? What are the common symptoms of ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
I. Pain and Discomfort: Abdominal pain is a relatively uncommon symptom of ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can shrink under the influence of hormones, reducing the weight of the tumor itself, and are affected by intestinal peristalsis and changes in body position, causing the tumor to move rapidly within the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic round ligament, leading to lower abdominal or iliac fossa swelling and a sensation of heaviness.II. Abdominal Abnormalities: Enlarged abdominal circumference and the presence of an abdominal mass are the most common symptoms of ovarian cysts. Many women discover an abdominal mass accidentally while rubbing their abdomen. Large ovarian cysts can cause difficulty breathing and palpitations by compressing the diaphragm. If the respiratory nervous system is affected, symptoms such as breathing difficulties and discomfort may recur. The recurrence of ovarian cysts severely impacts women's health.
