Introducing the mid-term symptoms of ovarian cancer

When ovarian cancer develops to the middle stage, the symptoms of ovarian cancer will gradually appear, and ovarian cancer patients will gradually feel uncomfortable and seek medical treatment. What are the common symptoms of ovarian cancer in the middle stage ? Here are some common symptoms of ovarian cancer in the middle stage.

Generally, the common mid-stage symptoms of ovarian cancer are:

1. Abdominal distension: Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, there may be abdominal distension in the short term. Abdominal masses and ascites. Small tumors can only be found during pelvic examinations. When the mass gradually grows beyond the pelvic cavity, the mass can be felt in the abdomen. This is a common mid-term symptom of ovarian cancer.

2. Compression symptoms: When the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, the mid-term symptoms of ovarian cancer can cause abdominal pain, back pain or sciatica. If the pelvic veins are compressed, 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 and inability to lie flat.

3. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, malnutrition and weight loss occur, forming cachexia, which is also a common mid-term symptom of ovarian cancer.

4. Corresponding symptoms appear due to cancer metastasis. Ovarian malignant tumors rarely cause pain. However, if the tumor ruptures, bleeds or becomes infected, or if it infiltrates and compresses adjacent organs, it may cause abdominal pain and back pain.

5. Symptoms of ovarian cancer in the middle stage may include menstrual disorders and vaginal bleeding. If both ovaries are destroyed by cancerous tissue, it may cause menstrual disorders and amenorrhea. Lung metastasis may cause cough, hemoptysis, and pleural effusion. Bone metastasis may cause severe pain in the metastatic site. Intestinal metastasis may cause blood in the stool, and severe cases may cause intestinal obstruction.
