Keep in mind six methods to prevent ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor that seriously endangers women's health. According to surveys, the incidence of ovarian cancer ranks third among female malignant tumors, second only to cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, but has the highest mortality rate. According to a gynecologist, he sees more ovarian cancer than endometrial cancer in clinical practice, and it is more common in women of childbearing age. About 2/3 of patients have reached the advanced stage, so the five-year survival rate is only 20% to 30%.

Effective ways to prevent ovarian cancer

1. All solid ovarian masses or cysts larger than 6 cm should be removed immediately.

2. Women with ovarian tumors before and after menarche should consider it as a tumor. Women of childbearing age with small adnexal cysts that do not shrink after 2 months of observation are considered tumors and can undergo surgery at any time during the observation period.

3. Pelvic inflammatory masses, especially pelvic tuberculosis or endometriosis masses, cannot rule out tumors after ineffective treatment.

4. Maintain a good attitude and exercise moderately.

5. To prevent ovarian cancer, we should also pay attention to controlling the high-fat, high-protein, and high-calorie diet. Vegetables, carrots, grains, carbohydrates, vitamin A, vitamin C, and foods rich in fiber can reduce the occurrence of ovarian cancer.

6. Regularly perform gynecological examinations and B-ultrasound examinations. If abnormalities are found, the cause should be analyzed and treated so that ovarian cancer can be detected early and diagnosed early to block the cancer pathway. Especially for women over 45 years old, pelvic gynecological examinations or B-ultrasound examinations should be performed every 6 months in order to detect ovarian cancer early.
