How to detect early ovarian cancer

Early treatment of ovarian cancer is not very difficult, but the most important thing is that early detection of ovarian cancer is very difficult. In this case, our treatment cannot be targeted at the cause and effectively treat it. Here we will tell you how to detect ovarian cancer in its early stages to help us treat it.

1. Gynecological examination: If the appendages are found to be hard and uneven in surface, especially if a solid mass of about 5 cm is touched, it should be taken seriously.

2. Ultrasound examination: A routine abdominal examination of the uterus and adnexa to detect any lumps and to observe their boundaries, internal echoes, and the presence of ascites.

3. Tumor marker examination: CA125 is a glycoprotein present on the surface of ovarian cancer cells. CA125 does not exist in the normal ovarian surface epithelium. If the CA125 value is found to be elevated, it is often seen in ovarian cancer.

4. Women with one or more of the following characteristics: frequent consumption of high-fat, high-cholesterol foods; frequent contact with asbestos, talcum powder, etc., which increase the chance of inducing ovarian tumors; abnormal vaginal bleeding after menopause; women who are childless or infertile, and women who have early menarche or menopause after the age of 50.

The above are some of the methods we commonly use to detect ovarian cancer in the early stage, which are very effective in detecting ovarian cancer. If this disease cannot be treated better in the early stage, it is very likely to delay the best treatment opportunity.
