What are the common symptoms of ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer is also a common disease in life, so it is very important to know the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Only by mastering the symptoms of ovarian cancer can we detect it in time in life. Because the choice of treatment plan also depends on different symptoms, the following introduces the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

1. Cachexia: Due to the rapid growth of ovarian cancer, cancer cells steal nutrients from the body's inherent fat and protein to build themselves, causing the body to lose a large amount of nutrients. Patients then show symptoms of ovarian cancer such as obvious weight loss and severe anemia.

2. Abdominal distension and mass: Among the symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer, lower abdominal distension is quite obvious. Since ovarian cancer grows rapidly and spreads easily, a large amount of ascites and even masses will form in the abdomen. Small tumors can only be found during pelvic examinations, but when the mass gradually grows beyond the pelvic cavity, the abdomen can be touched by hand. This is obviously a symptom of advanced ovarian cancer.

3. Compression symptoms: Symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer. When the tumor infiltrates into surrounding tissues or compresses nerves, it can cause abdominal pain, back pain, or sciatica. If it compresses the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. When the tumor grows larger, it can compress the bladder, leading to 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.

I believe that as long as we discover the symptoms of ovarian cancer as early as possible and treat it in time, it will be cured. Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to master these symptoms of ovarian cancer. If you want to know more about the symptoms of ovarian cancer, please consult an online expert.
