Early symptoms of ovarian cancer

Early symptoms of ovarian cancer:

Ovarian malignancy is one of the most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate is second only to cervical cancer and uterine body cancer. Epithelial cancer is the most common type of ovarian malignancy, followed by malignant germ cell tumors. The mortality rate of ovarian epithelial cancer ranks first among various gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives.

Symptoms of early rising include:

1. Menstrual changes: As the cancer swelling increases, cancer cells will destroy the normal tissue of the ovaries, affecting the normal function of the ovaries, leading to ovarian dysfunction, resulting in oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Some ovarian cancer patients have basically no changes in their menstruation.

2. Vulvar edema: Vulvar edema occurs mainly due to the compression of the pelvic veins by the tumor, resulting in poor blood flow and obstruction of lymphatic return.

3. Gastrointestinal symptoms: Ovarian tumors can compress and pull the surrounding ligaments, and combined with ascites stimulation, gastrointestinal symptoms often occur. For menopausal women, if they often feel bloating and loss of appetite, and no gastrointestinal diseases are found after examination, they should seek medical attention in time.

4. Lower back and abdominal pain: If the tissues adjacent to the ovaries are infiltrated or adhered by cancer, it can easily cause dull pain in the lower back and abdomen.

5. Sex hormone disorder: When ovarian tumors secrete too much estrogen, it can cause precocious puberty, menstrual disorders or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding; if it is testicular prostate cancer, it will produce excessive androgens and masculinization signs.
