To prevent and treat ovarian cancer, we must focus on early detection

In order to detect ovarian malignant tumors early, the following points should be noted:

1. All solid ovarian masses or cysts larger than 6 cm should be treated surgically immediately.

2. Ovarian cysts in women before menarche and after menopause should be considered tumors. Women of childbearing age with small adnexal cysts that do not shrink after 2 months of observation should be considered tumors. If they grow larger during observation, surgery should be performed at any time.

3. Pelvic inflammatory masses, especially those suspected of pelvic tuberculosis or endometriosis, should be further treated if treatment is ineffective and tumors cannot be ruled out.

4. If endometrial adenomatous hyperplasia or endometrial adenocarcinoma is found after menopause, attention should be paid to whether there are tumors in the ovaries and surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner.

Doctors say: The key to ovarian cancer is to detect the tumor in its early stages. Early patients, whether benign or malignant, often have no obvious symptoms. Benign tumors may also become malignant, so regular screening should be carried out.
