Ovarian swelling: Enlarged ovaries: Symptoms, causes, and treatment

Enlarged ovaries: Symptoms, causes, and treatment

Ovary size can vary naturally from person to person. However, they can also become enlarged for several reasons.

Although some causes of enlarged ovaries are harmless, such as ovulation, others may require treatment.

The ovaries are two small egg-shaped organs in the female reproductive system. They produce egg cells and also release the hormones progesterone and estrogen, which are vital to ovulation, pregnancy, and the development of female sex characteristics.

This article will review the symptoms, causes, and treatment of enlarged ovaries.

While enlarged ovaries do not always cause symptoms, people with this condition may experience:

  • changes in bowel habits
  • increased urinary urgency
  • irregular menstrual cycle
  • pelvic pain or pressure
  • pelvic swelling or feelings of fullness
  • persistent abdominal discomfort, such as bloating or nausea
  • thinning hair on the head
  • excess hair elsewhere on the body
  • unexplained fatigue
  • weight gain or weight loss

Sometimes, the ovaries may become so enlarged that a person or doctor can feel the ovary in the pelvis, but this is not often the case.

When someone has symptoms that could indicate enlarged ovaries or another ovarian condition, a doctor is likely to recommend an ultrasound.

An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of the pelvic organs. Doctors may do the ultrasound across the abdomen (transabdominal) or insert the probe into the vagina (transvaginal).

Enlarged ovaries have many potential causes, including:

Ovulation

Ovulation is when an ovary releases an egg for fertilization. During ovulation, the ovaries can become hyperstimulated by hormones and may temporarily enlarge.

Enlarged ovaries may be more likely during ovulation if a person is taking fertility drugs.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a common condition in which a hormonal imbalance causes small cysts to develop on the ovaries.

People with PCOS may experience irregular periods and might find it difficult to get pregnant, as the ovaries may not release eggs regularly. PCOS can also cause weight gain and excess hair growth on the body.

Ovarian edema

This rare condition occurs when fluid builds up in the ovarian tissue. Most of the time, ovarian edema occurs in only one ovary.

Ovarian edema may occur due to partial ovarian torsion, which blocks the blood flow and prevents lymph fluid from draining. As a result, fluid builds up, and the ovary enlarges.

Ovarian torsion

Ovarian torsion refers to the ovary becoming partially or fully rotated around the supporting tissues. It is a medical emergency.

Ovarian torsion cuts off the blood flow to the ovary and can cause significant nausea, pelvic pain, and vomiting. It requires prompt surgery to correct the rotation and restore blood flow.

Benign tumors or cysts

The ovaries are subject to several types of benign, or non-cancerous, growths or cysts. These include mature cystic teratomas, fibrothecomas, and cystadenoma.

Cysts are common and usually resolve without treatment.

Ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer occurs when cancerous cells grow on the ovaries. It is more common after menopause.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer are non-specific and include pelvic pain, bloating, and fatigue.

A doctor will consider a person’s medical history, symptoms, and ultrasound images before testing for ovarian cancer. A biopsy can definitively diagnose the disease.

Ovaries may look enlarged during pregnancy due to a luteoma. A luteoma is a benign growth on the ovary that only occurs during pregnancy.

Doctors are not sure why some women develop luteomas while others do not, but they believe that the increased hormone levels during pregnancy may play a role.

Most luteomas do not cause symptoms. A doctor will usually detect one during a routine ultrasound or when performing a cesarean delivery.

Women who have luteomas during the first half of their pregnancy tend to experience more severe symptoms and may even require surgery to remove the growths.

Possible symptoms of luteomas include difficulty urinating, high levels of testosterone, and virilization, which is the appearance of typically male characteristics, such as a deeper voice and increased body hair.

Luteomas usually resolve after a woman gives birth, so doctors try to avoid surgery whenever possible.

Share on PinterestLosing weight may help reduce PCOS symptoms.

The treatment for enlarged ovaries will depend on the underlying cause.

For example, steps for managing PCOS may include:

  • Losing weight, as even a 10 percent reduction in body weight can help to minimize symptoms and make periods more regular.
  • Taking hormonal birth control pills, as these can help to regulate the menstrual cycle.
  • Taking anti-androgen medications.
  • Taking metformin, a medication that may help to control insulin levels and excess androgen hormones.

Treatments for ovarian cancer may include the removal of the ovaries and any surrounding tissue that the disease affects.

A doctor may also recommend chemotherapy to kill cancer cells and radiation treatments to reduce the size of the tumors before removing them.

Enlarged ovaries related to the menstrual cycle do not require treatment unless they are causing uncomfortable symptoms.

Enlarged ovaries can have multiple causes, most of which do not lead to any long-term problems.

People who are experiencing pelvic pain and fullness or changes in their bowel and bladder habits should visit a doctor. A variety of treatments can help to reduce symptoms.

Ovarian tumors – symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of the disease in Hadassah

Symptoms of ovarian tumors

Tumors diagnosed in the ovaries are classified broadly into three categories: epithelial, stromal and germ cells. Different types of ovarian cancer differ from each other in the origin of cancer cells, the same can be found in the pathological examination of the tumor.

Symptoms of ovarian tumors depend on their type:

  • Epithelial. Formed from cells lining the surface of healthy ovaries. There are several subtypes of epithelial tumors – serous (develop at the end of the fallopian tubes), endometrial-like (have a high chance of recovery), mucinous (occur on one side of the ovaries).
  • Not classified. In 10% of cases, the type of tumor cannot be determined. Most often we are talking about the initial stage of malignant degeneration.
  • Border. An ovarian tumor is diagnosed that does not develop towards the stromal tissue that stabilizes the ovaries. Most often diagnosed in the early stages and develop slowly.
  • Stromal cells. It develops from stromal tissue that stabilizes the ovaries and produces the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. This tumor can develop at any age.

Among the main manifestations, one should single out the presence of pulling and aching pains in the lower abdomen. Most often, discomfort is localized on one side. There are also menstrual irregularities.

When the pedicle of the tumor is twisted, ischemia develops, which is accompanied by subsequent tissue necrosis. This causes a sharp burning pain. Fainting, the appearance of bloody discharge from the vagina and an increase in body temperature are not excluded. There are also drops in blood pressure.

Methods for diagnosing ovarian tumors

If a neoplasm is detected on the ovaries, it is impossible to judge its nature without the results of a histological analysis. Benign tumors can degenerate into cancer, so each of them is considered as potentially dangerous. The following diagnostic measures are required:

Analysis for tumor markers (HE-4, CA-125, ROMA index)

Regular ultrasound monitoring during drug therapy

Testing for BRCA-1 and 2 mutations

indicate a predisposition to ovarian cancer

Methods for the treatment of ovarian tumors

Therapy is developed individually for each woman, taking into account the results of the diagnosis of ovarian tumors. Self-medication in this case is unacceptable. The treatment regimen depends on the following factors:

  • the nature of the neoplasm;
  • tumor size and type;
  • the degree of involvement of neighboring organs.

Ovarian tumors are treated conservatively or surgically. Drug therapy involves taking antibiotics, vitamin and mineral complexes, hormonal agents, antispasmodics and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The operation involves a puncture of the contents of the neoplasm. In malignant tumors, there is a need for complex treatment: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Prevention and treatment programs for ovarian tumors at the Hadassah Clinic

To prevent the development of ovarian neoplasms, it is recommended to undergo regular gynecological examinations – at least 1-2 times a year. It is also recommended to minimize the impact of adverse factors on the body, such as smoking, stressful situations and harmful production.

Ovarian tumors – MOSITALMED

Ovarian tumors are neoplasms in the ovarian tissue caused by abnormal cell division. They can be either malignant or benign. Both forms of the disease require timely diagnosis and treatment, since even benign formations can become malignant.

The clinics of the MOSITALMED network carry out diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the female genital organs using modern methods with a minimal risk of complications. Our gynecologists have extensive experience in the removal of ovarian tumors.

Causes of ovarian tumors

Among the causes of ovarian tumors are:

  • infection with human papillomavirus;
  • frequent abortions;
  • high levels of estrogen in the blood;
  • inflammatory diseases of the uterus and appendages;
  • early menopause;
  • late menarche;
  • diseases of the thyroid gland;
  • diabetes mellitus

All of the above factors contribute to the disruption of cell proliferation and differentiation in glandular tissue. In this case, the cells multiply uncontrollably and do not perform their proper function.

Symptoms of an ovarian tumor

The first sign of an ovarian tumor may be a pulling pain in the lower abdomen. However, the pain syndrome is not always present, and the disease can be suspected by:

  • false urge to urinate;
  • increase in the size of the abdomen;
  • excessive formation of gases in the intestines;
  • irregular menses

Some tumors are capable of producing hormones, in which case they may develop:

  • male pattern hair growth;
  • absence of menstruation;
  • acne

Malignant neoplasms are accompanied by general poor health, anemia and fatigue. Symptoms of benign ovarian tumors may be absent for a long time and appear only when they reach a significant size.

Diagnosis

Cysts and other neoplasms of the ovaries often become an incidental finding during routine examination. You can suspect a tumor by the presence of characteristic symptoms, but in any case, a thorough examination is required.

The list of diagnostic measures includes:

  • Ultrasound of the pelvic organs;
  • MRI;
  • CT;
  • Blood test for hormones;
  • Tumor marker test

All standard and innovative methods of diagnosing diseases of the female genital organs are available in the clinics of the MOSITALMED network.

Treatment of ovarian tumor

Treatment of ovarian tumor depends on the stage, extent and form of the disease. If an ovarian cyst is detected, its removal is carried out only according to indications, in other cases, regression of the formation is possible after conservative therapy.

Removal of an ovarian neoplasm is carried out by its resection – oophorectomy. If a woman is of childbearing age, then a wedge resection is possible with the preservation of part of the organ. When removing the ovary, additional correction of the hormonal background with drugs is required.

Our clinic offers the treatment of benign ovarian tumors with modern and safe methods according to international standards.
