How should ovarian cancer be treated? Several effective methods for clinical treatment of ovarian cancer

The incidence of ovarian cancer is lower than that of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, ranking third among gynecological malignancies, but its mortality rate exceeds the sum of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, ranking first among gynecological cancers. If the treatment is ineffective or prevention is inappropriate, the incidence and mortality of ovarian cancer will continue to rise. So, how to treat and prevent ovarian cancer?

There are many methods for treating ovarian cancer, mainly traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Western medicine surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and biological treatment, etc. The specific introduction is as follows:

Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy: Western medicine mainly uses surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other treatments for ovarian cancer in clinical practice, and uses different treatment methods at different stages and symptoms. However, surgical treatment is risky, traumatic, and prone to infection. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy also cause varying degrees of damage to normal human tissues, causing some patients to experience symptoms such as hair loss, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Therefore, patients should cooperate with corresponding auxiliary treatments during the treatment process to minimize the occurrence of the above symptoms.

New therapies: In addition, there are new measures such as interventional therapy, biological therapy, and gene therapy, but due to the limitations of current medical technology, the results are still not ideal.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment of cervical cancer is a syndrome differentiation system that combines disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, and the overall and local aspects. It helps patients regulate their positive energy and eliminate negative energy, and has achieved good results in clinical prevention and treatment.

Medicinal fungus therapy: This is a new method of treating tumors in traditional Chinese medicine and is a type of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The anti-tumor effect of medicinal fungi has been confirmed by research, and combined with Chinese herbal medicine treatment, it can achieve good clinical efficacy. Because of its small adverse reactions, unique effects, safety, and low toxicity and side effects, and more importantly, its anti-tumor ability on the basis of restoring and improving the body's immune function, it is widely used as an important means of treating tumors, used in conjunction with other therapies or alone.

1. Use drugs with caution: Women who frequently use menstrual regulation drugs and contraceptives have an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Therefore, women should not use these drugs frequently.

2. Childbearing at the appropriate age and breastfeeding babies: Women who have their first period before the age of 12, have never given birth, or gave birth after the age of 30 have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

3. Eat a balanced diet with less fat and more calcium. Women whose diets contain too much saturated fat and women who lack calcium are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Therefore, women should eat a balanced diet, consume more fiber, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

4. Exercise more or do housework: Studies have found that women who exercise regularly have a 27% lower risk of ovarian cancer than women who exercise less. If women do not have time to exercise, they can often do moderate-intensity housework, which can also effectively reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.

Early stage ovarian cancer: It will not cause pain or other discomfort. Only 24% of ovarian cancers are discovered in the early stage. About 70% of ovarian cancers are already in the late stage when diagnosed. Some patients will experience symptoms such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, abdominal distension, vaginal bleeding, etc.

Late stage ovarian cancer: unexplained weight loss, ascites, decreased appetite and indigestion. In addition, due to the large amount of nutrients consumed by cancer cells, the patient will become increasingly emaciated, anemic, weak, and have a dull complexion.

Hazards: In addition to causing miscarriage, premature birth, and infertility, the most terrifying thing is recurrence and metastasis. If it spreads to various parts of the abdominal cavity, it will cause a large amount of ascites; if it metastasizes/spreads to the liver and lungs, it will cause breathing difficulties, shock, etc., which will endanger life.
