Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, my best friend is accompanying me for this prenatal check-up, and she also had a physical examination. The results showed that she has a gynecological cyst, but it is not yet known whether the tumor is benign or malignant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, benign gynecological tumors develop slowly. Small benign tumors often show no symptoms; medium-sized benign tumors may cause abdominal distension and lower abdominal discomfort, and patients can often feel a lump. Huge tumors can produce pressure symptoms. Malignant tumors grow rapidly, infiltrate surrounding tissues, and cause abdominal pain, abdominal distension, uterine bleeding, and vaginal bleeding. If combined with infection, there may be fever; if the tumor necroses, it may rupture, leading to bloody ascites. In advanced stages, there may be cachexia, fatigue, anemia, and other symptoms of malnutrition.
