Left ovarian cyst is a common benign tumor of female reproductive organs, which is called "stone" and "intestinal stagnation" in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be divided into mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, benign teratoma, fibroma, testicular blastoma and other types, and most of them are likely to become malignant, which is common in women aged 20-50. So what are the symptoms of left ovarian cyst? In fact, the left ovarian cyst has no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stage. Patients are often found when they go to the hospital for gynecological examination because of other diseases. Later, patients feel something with the growth of the tumor, and their symptoms and signs vary with the nature and size of the tumor and whether there are secondary degeneration or complications.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of ovarian cysts mainly lies in the weakness of viscera, strain of qi and blood, excessive emotions, invasion of wind, cold, cold and dampness, stagnation of blood stasis during childbirth, resulting in weakness of kidney-yang, stagnation of cold and qi, improper dissemination of vaginal fluid, retention of phlegm and blood stasis, stagnation of phlegm and qi, or paralysis, the decline of yang-qi, stagnation of yin, and increasing day by day.

The symptoms of left ovarian cyst are mainly as follows:

Abdominal enlargement: It is the most common phenomenon in the chief complaint. Patients notice the enlargement of the abdomen only when their clothes or belts look tight, or feel it by accident in the morning, so they press the abdomen and find that there is a tumor in the abdomen plus bloating discomfort.

Abdominal discomfort: it is the initial symptom before the patient touches the lower abdominal mass. Due to the weight of the tumor itself and the influence of intestinal peristalsis and posture changes, the tumor moves in the pelvic cavity, involving its pedicle and pelvic infundibular ligament, so that the patient has a feeling of swelling and falling in the lower abdomen or iliac fossa.

Menstrual disorder: Generally, ovaries or even bilateral ovarian cysts do not destroy all normal ovarian tissues, so most of them do not cause menstrual disorder. Some uterine bleeding is not endocrine or is caused by ovarian tumors that change the vascular distribution in the pelvic cavity and cause endometrial congestion. Or menstrual disorders caused by endocrine tumors due to ovarian malignant tumors directly transferring to endometrium are often combined with other secretory effects.

Compression symptoms: giant ovarian tumor can cause dyspnea due to compression of diaphragm, and palpitation ovarian tumor with a large amount of ascites can also cause this symptom; However, some patients with ovarian tumors have dyspnea caused by one or both pleural effusion; And often combined with ascites to form the so-called Meigs syndrome.

Abdominal pain: If the tumor has no complications, there is little pain. Therefore, patients with ovarian tumor feel abdominal pain, especially if it happens suddenly, which is often caused by torsion of tumor pedicle or bleeding or infection of tumor. In addition, malignant cysts often cause abdominal pain, leg pain and pain, which often leads patients to see a doctor in an emergency.

Treatment of left ovarian cyst Before the treatment of left ovarian cyst, we must first determine whether it is benign or malignant. Surgery is the only way to treat ovarian cyst. If it is confirmed to be benign and the cyst is small, you can observe it first without treatment. The left ovarian cyst can be treated by torsion of ovarian cyst pedicle. After the diagnosis, emergency surgery is needed. First, intramuscular injection of analgesic, such as Demerol, is appropriate, regardless of the patient's age. At the same time, now the most advanced is now very popular laparoscopic surgery.

Although the left ovarian cyst is mostly benign, it may also become malignant, so don't be careless. The treatment of the left ovarian cyst should actively cooperate with the doctor. Prevention of various diseases, including left ovarian cyst, mainly means that people with regular life and irregular living habits, such as singing karaoke all night, playing mahjong and staying out at night, will aggravate physical acidification and be prone to cancer. We should develop good living habits, so as to maintain a weak alkaline constitution and keep all kinds of cancer diseases away from ourselves.
