What are the mid-stage symptoms of ovarian cancer

In recent years, ovarian cancer has become one of the major diseases that endangers society and human health, and it has brought great pain and distress to humans. In order to reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer, we humans should understand the mid-term symptoms of ovarian cancer:

(1) In the early stages of ovarian cancer, there may be discomfort in the lower abdomen or a feeling of heaviness and pain in one side of the lower abdomen.

(2) Abdominal distension. Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, abdominal distension may occur in the short term. Abdominal masses and ascites. Small tumors can only be found during pelvic examinations. When the tumor gradually grows larger and exceeds the pelvic cavity, the mass can be felt in the abdomen.

(3) Compression symptoms: When the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues or compresses the nerves, it may cause abdominal pain, back pain, or sciatica. If it compresses the pelvic veins, lower limb edema may occur. A large tumor may compress the bladder, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urine retention. Compression of the rectum may cause difficulty in defecation. Compression of the gastrointestinal tract may cause digestive tract symptoms. Compression of the diaphragm may cause breathing difficulties and inability to lie flat.

(4) Due to the rapid growth of the tumor, malnutrition and weight loss occur, forming cachexia.

(5) Symptoms may occur due to tumor 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 or back pain.

(6) Menstrual disorders and vaginal bleeding may occur. 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 local metastatic site. Intestinal metastasis may cause blood in the stool, and severe cases may cause intestinal obstruction.
