What are the clinical manifestations of ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate ranks third after cervical cancer and uterine body cancer. However, deaths from ovarian cancer account for the largest number of all gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. The symptoms of ovarian cancer may vary depending on the size of the tumor, the time of occurrence, and the presence or absence of complications. Common symptoms include:

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

(2) A feeling of abdominal distension. Ascites may occur even in the early stages of ovarian cancer. Small tumors can only be found during pelvic examinations. When the tumor grows larger and exceeds the pelvic cavity, the tumor can be felt in the abdomen.

(3) Compression symptoms: A large tumor can compress the bladder, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urine retention; compressing the rectum can cause difficulty in defecation; compressing the gastrointestinal tract can cause digestive tract symptoms; compressing the diaphragm can cause difficulty breathing 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. Lung metastasis may cause cough, 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.
