Indeed, ovarian tumors are harmful to women's health and can occur at any age, especially women of childbearing age.

There are not many methods for early diagnosis at present, and its mortality rate ranks first among gynecological malignant tumors. This deserves our high attention. However, not all ovarian tumors are malignant. There are many classifications of ovarian tumors, the most common of which is ovarian cysts, most of which are benign.

Symptoms of uterine fibroids usually include menstrual changes, increased vaginal discharge, pain, abdominal masses, compression symptoms, infertility, anemia, etc. Functional cysts, skin cysts, serous cysts and mucous cysts usually have no symptoms. If the cyst becomes larger, it may cause dull pain or swelling in the patient's lower abdomen or back. The cyst may also squeeze the bladder and cause frequent urination or difficulty urinating. The cyst may even develop complications, become infected, become twisted, bleed or burst. These symptoms may cause nausea, vomiting, fever and severe abdominal pain, and the cyst must be removed surgically immediately. This type of cyst occasionally becomes cancerous. In addition to feeling a loss of appetite, weight loss and abdominal swelling, ovarian cancer usually has no symptoms in the early stages. In the later stages, there will be edema in the abdomen and limbs. Endometritis cysts are different from the above types of ovarian cysts and usually have symptoms.
