Ovarian cyst is a common gynecological disease, which seriously endangers the health of patients. We must pay attention to it, especially through active and reasonable treatment, to prevent the condition from becoming severe.
Hazards of ovarian cysts
1. Cancer occurrence, life-threatening: Enlarged ovarian cysts are prone to infection, distortion, bleeding, or rupture, posing a life-threatening threat to patients. Some tumor like cysts may even become cancerous.
2. Infertility, affecting fertility: large symptoms or degeneration of ovarian cysts may lead to abnormal operation of sperm, eggs or zygote, affecting fertility and leading to infertility.
3. Causes edema and affects daily life: In addition to poor appetite, weight loss, and abdominal distension, ovarian cyst patients may also cause vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain. Later stage abdominal and limb edema.
4. Causes of miscarriage and dystocia: Premature delivery of ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage, torsion of the ovarian cyst stem in the second trimester of pregnancy, and abnormal fetal position in the third trimester of pregnancy when the cyst is large, leading to blockage of the birth canal and dystocia during delivery.
5. Causing premature facial failure in women: Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature aging, malignancy, and even ovarian cancer.
6. Lower abdomen or back pain: If an ovarian cyst becomes larger, the patient's lower abdomen or back may feel dull pain or swelling. At the same time, the cyst may also compress into the bladder, causing frequent urination or difficulty urinating.
7. Abdominal and limb edema: Patients with ovarian cysts may experience issues such as loss of appetite, weight loss, abdominal swelling, as well as vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal pain. In the later stages of the disease, patients may experience symptoms of abdominal and limb edema.
Common complications of ovarian cysts
1. Ovarian tumors: Ovarian tumors refer to tumors that occur on the ovaries. It is one of the common tumors in female genitalia. The ovary is small in size, but it is the organ where tumors are most likely to occur. Ovarian malignancies are still the most common gynecological malignancies with the highest mortality rate. Ovarian tumors do not have obvious symptoms in the early stage, but usually have discomfort in the lower abdomen, enlarged abdominal circumference, intra-abdominal masses, abdominal pain, compression symptoms, menstrual disorders, etc. So far, the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer is only 25% -30%, threatening the largest disease among gynecological tumors.
2. Tumor stem torsion: About 10% of ovarian tumors undergo torsion. The condition for ovarian tumor stem torsion is the growth of the tumor stem, which is as large as the fetal head and has no adhesion to surrounding tissues. The tumor is prone to movement in the abdominal cavity. After acute torsion of the ovarian tumor, blood circulation is disrupted, which can cause swelling, bleeding, necrosis, rupture, and infection of the tumor. Its main manifestations are sudden severe lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and tenderness. When the tumor stem is severely twisted, the arteries are also blocked, leading to long-term tumor necrosis.
