Brief analysis of the main symptoms of mid-stage ovarian cancer

Clinically, the symptoms of mid-stage ovarian cancer are between those of early-stage and late-stage ovarian cancer, which are more harmful to people's health. So what are the common symptoms of mid-stage ovarian cancer ? Here are some common symptoms of mid-stage ovarian cancer.

In general, common symptoms of mid-stage ovarian cancer include:

1. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, symptoms of ovarian cancer include malnutrition and weight loss, forming cachexia.

2. Corresponding symptoms of ovarian cancer appear due to tumor metastasis. Ovarian malignant tumors rarely cause pain. However, abdominal pain and back pain may occur if the tumor ruptures, bleeds or becomes infected, or due to infiltration and compression of adjacent organs.

3. Abdominal distension. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, there may be abdominal distension, abdominal mass and ascites in the short term, which are also common symptoms of ovarian cancer. 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.

4. When the tumor infiltrates the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, it can cause abdominal pain, back pain or sciatica, which are symptoms of ovarian cancer. If it compresses the pelvic veins, it can cause lower limb edema, which are symptoms of ovarian cancer. A huge tumor can compress the bladder, which can cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urine retention, which are symptoms of ovarian cancer. If it compresses the rectum, it can cause difficulty in defecation. If it compresses the gastrointestinal tract, it can cause digestive tract symptoms. If it compresses the diaphragm, it can cause breathing difficulties and inability to lie flat. These are all common symptoms of ovarian cancer.

5. Symptoms of ovarian cancer 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 coughing, 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.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of ovarian cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once the symptoms of ovarian cancer appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
