What are the symptoms and treatments of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor disease among female reproductive organ diseases. This disease mostly occurs in menopausal women. After women are diagnosed with the disease, the tumor in the ovary will grow rapidly and will be accompanied by symptoms such as irregular bleeding and tenderness. If it is not treated in time, once malignant changes occur, it may be life-threatening.

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

1. Abdominal discomfort: There is a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvic cavity. Sometimes there may also be nausea, bloating, and a vague feeling of discomfort in the stomach.

2. Menstrual disorders: The hormones secreted by the tumor or differentiated cancer cells can damage the bilateral ovaries. Due to the damage to the ovarian function, it can cause menstrual disorders or vaginal bleeding in women. If the ovaries are affected and produce too much estrogen, it will cause precocious puberty in girls. Some women will show masculine behavior due to hormone disorders.

3. Vaginal bleeding: If a woman has regular vaginal bleeding or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, it may be caused by ovarian cancer. However, it is not ruled out that it is caused by excessive endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer.

Ovarian cancer treatment

1. Surgery is the most common treatment for ovarian cancer. It is also an important method for treating ovarian cancer. It mainly involves removing the tumor, after which the patient can recuperate through other methods.

2. After the operation, the patient can use chemotherapy as an auxiliary treatment. This method also plays an important role in the treatment of ovarian cancer and can play a positive role in the treatment of ovarian cancer patients. This method can be used before or after surgery, but patients need to take medication for a long time during this treatment, so the side effects brought to patients are also relatively large.

3. Ovarian cancer patients can also use radiotherapy, but most ovarian cancer patients do not get very good results after this treatment, so this method is not the first choice for ovarian cancer patients. Generally, this method is mainly for patients whose malignant tumors cannot be completely removed, and then radiotherapy can be used for recovery, but if the patient has too much ascites, this method is not suitable for treatment.
