Ovarian cancer patients must pay more attention to its common symptoms

In recent years, the incidence of ovarian cancer has continued to rise, affecting people's lives and social stability. Many patients will ignore the symptoms of early ovarian cancer, which may cause them to miss the best time for treatment. Therefore, we must first understand the symptoms of ovarian cancer so that we can detect the patient's condition as early as possible. Let's take a look at the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

Symptoms of ovarian cancer include:

1. Abdominal distension and pain

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 clinical pelvic examinations. When the mass gradually grows beyond the pelvic cavity, the mass can be felt in the abdomen. Ovarian cancer infiltrates surrounding tissues, or adheres to adjacent tissues, compressing nerves and causing abdominal pain and back pain, which ranges from dull pain to dull pain, or even more severe pain. These symptoms of ovarian cancer are relatively common.

2. Compression symptoms

When the tumor infects the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, it can cause abdominal pain, back pain or sciatica . If it compresses the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. A large tumor can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination, dysuria and urine retention. If it compresses the rectum, defecation becomes difficult. If it compresses the gastrointestinal tract, there are digestive tract symptoms. If it compresses the diaphragm, breathing becomes difficult and lying flat becomes impossible. These are also symptoms of ovarian cancer.

3. Menstrual disorders and bleeding

If both ovaries are damaged by cancerous tissue, it may cause menstrual disorder and amenorrhea. Lung recurrence and metastasis may cause cough, hemoptysis, and pleural effusion. Bone recurrence and metastasis may cause severe pain in the recurrence and metastasis site. Intestinal recurrence and metastasis may cause blood in the stool, and more importantly, may cause intestinal obstruction. These are also symptoms of ovarian cancer.

As long as you know these symptoms of ovarian cancer, patients can cooperate with treatment better, and then the condition can be well alleviated. So if you want patients to control the condition as soon as possible, please be more careful about the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
