The dangers of untreated ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor in women. There are many causes of ovarian cancer, such as environmental factors, endocrine factors, and family inheritance. Ovarian cancer is very harmful and can cause you to lose your life once it becomes malignant. Of course, as long as ovarian cancer is discovered and treated early, it can still be cured. Next, let's take a closer look at the dangers of suffering from ovarian cancer.

In general, the risks of ovarian cancer include:

First, it affects people's lives: Ovarian cancer can cause abdominal pain, back pain or sciatica in its early stages. If it compresses the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. A huge tumor can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urine retention. Compression of the rectum can cause difficulty in defecation. Compression of the gastrointestinal tract can cause digestive tract symptoms. Compression of the diaphragm can cause breathing difficulties, inability to lie flat, and other symptoms, which seriously affect women's lives.

Secondly, tumor malignancy: The early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious. If the tumor is not discovered in time and gradually grows, it is very likely to become malignant. Therefore, experts say that regular gynecological examinations once a year are very necessary for adult women.

Finally, life-threatening: Ovarian cancer grows in hidden areas, and the initial symptoms are not obvious and difficult to detect. When it is discovered, it is usually in the late stage, which seriously endangers the patient's life. According to statistics, deaths due to ovarian cancer account for the first place among all types of gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's life and health.

Warm reminder: Ovarian cancer is a common disease among women. It is easier to treat in the early stages, so female friends should pay attention to actively go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Do not wait until ovarian cancer becomes malignant before thinking of examination and treatment, because by then not only will the treatment become more difficult, but it will also bring a certain financial burden to the family.
