What symptoms will patients with ovarian cancer experience?

Everyone wants to have a healthy body, but there are always various diseases in life that bother everyone. Ovarian cancer is one of the common diseases. How much do you know about ovarian cancer? Below, experts will introduce the symptoms of ovarian cancer to you.

Abdominal masses are the most common symptoms of ovarian cancer. When the abdominal mass is small in the early stage, it is difficult for the patient to detect it. As the ovarian cancer grows, the patient may feel a mass in the abdomen. When the greater omentum metastasizes severely and becomes a pancake-like mass, a large mass with a floating ball feeling can be felt in the upper abdominal cavity.

Abdominal pain. When there is tumor implantation and metastasis in the pelvic or abdominal cavity, or when the body position changes and causes the mass to pull on the surrounding organs, or there is twisting, abdominal pain symptoms may occur. It may also be accompanied by symptoms of ovarian cancer such as nausea, vomiting and fever.

Compression symptoms: When the tumor grows and compresses the pelvic and abdominal organs, related compression symptoms will appear. For example, compression of the diaphragm will cause difficulty breathing and palpitations; compression of the bladder will cause frequent urination, difficulty urinating or urinary retention; compression of the rectum may cause difficulty or frequent defecation.

Ascites. Both benign and malignant ovarian cancer can cause ascites. Patients will experience a swollen abdomen or increased waist circumference, which patients often mistakenly believe to be obese.

Irregular vaginal bleeding or menstrual irregularities, which may also occur after menopause, are also symptoms of ovarian cancer.
