What harm can ovarian tumors cause

Ovarian tumor pedicle torsion is a complication of ovarian cysts, which seriously endangers the health of the body. So what harm will ovarian tumors cause? With these questions, read the introduction below. The causes, symptoms and harms of ovarian tumor pedicle torsion are introduced as follows:

The conditions for ovarian tumor pedicle torsion are that the pedicle is long and the tumor is as big as a fist or a fetal head, there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissue, and the tumor is relatively mobile in the abdominal cavity. Among them, cystic teratomas, mucinous and serous cystadenomas are most likely to have pedicle torsion. The pedicles of these tumors are generally long and the center of gravity is biased to one side. The tumor is easily rotated by intestinal peristalsis or changes in body position.

Usually, if an ovarian tumor twists, it will first cause the veins to be compressed and blocked, while the arteries continue to supply the tumor, causing it to become congested and purple-brown. The blood vessels in the cyst will rupture, filling the cyst cavity with blood, and may even rupture and bleed. If the tumor pedicle is severely twisted, the arteries will also be blocked, and over time the tumor will become necrotic. The patient will have severe pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and even shock.

When the ovarian tumor pedicle is twisted, blood circulation will be obstructed, resulting in tumor swelling, bleeding, necrosis, rupture and infection. Usually, tumor rupture can be divided into two types: natural rupture and traumatic rupture. The symptoms after rupture depend on the nature of the cyst fluid and the amount of leakage into the abdominal cavity. Usually, when a serous cyst ruptures, only mild abdominal pain occurs, but when a dermoid cyst ruptures, its contents are highly irritating to the peritoneum, causing severe abdominal pain and peritonitis. Usually, most cases of ovarian tumor pedicle torsion can be successfully recovered after surgical resection, because most tumors are benign and the prognosis is generally good.

Warm reminder: The question introduces the causes, symptoms and hazards of ovarian tumor pedicle torsion. After understanding this series of knowledge, if the above symptoms occur, you should be diagnosed in time, and then find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.
