What are the signs of ovarian cancer recurrence

Ovarian cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in life. This disease accounts for a quarter of female reproductive organ cancers. Ovarian cancer is also the cancer with the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. The incidence of ovarian cancer is still increasing year by year. Therefore, it is most important for us to pay close attention to the changes in our bodies.

1. Symptoms of pain in the waist and abdomen: This phenomenon is consistent with the symptoms of ovarian cancer recurrence. This is because the tissues near the waist and ovaries are invaded by malignant tumors or adhesions occur. Therefore, female patients must pay attention to this condition when they experience abdominal pain to prevent the recurrence of ovarian cancer.

2. Female patients experience oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea: In most cases, the menstruation of ovarian cancer patients remains basically unchanged, but as the tumor continues to grow, the cancer cells will destroy the normal tissue of the ovary, causing ovarian dysfunction, and some women will experience amenorrhea. This phenomenon is another manifestation of ovarian cancer recurrence.

3. There is also edema of the vulva and lower limbs: As the ovarian cancer continues to grow, the pelvic veins will be compressed, which will cause blood flow obstruction and hinder lymphatic return, thus causing edema of the vulva and lower limbs. This phenomenon is another manifestation of ovarian cancer recurrence.

As the pelvic cancer continues to grow and spread, it will also cause abdominal distension and flatulence. The patient will find that his waistline is increasing and a lump can be felt in the abdomen. This requires the patient to undergo a pelvic examination, especially anal digital examination. It is very important to pay attention to the condition of the pelvic tumor. Only in this way can the disease be discovered and treated early.
