Does ovarian cancer cause back pain and abdominal pain? What are the symptoms of ovarian cancer? How to prevent ovarian cancer? Women's diseases have become more frequent in recent years, and ovarian cancer is one of them. Many women are unfamiliar with ovarian cancer. Do you know what early symptoms appear when ovarian cancer occurs? Let's take a look at it together. Early symptoms of ovarian cancer
1. Oligomenorrhea and menopause.
One of the most common early symptoms of ovarian cancer is scanty menstruation and menopause. Most ovarian cancer patients' menstruation is basically unaffected. The growth of the tumor will gradually reduce the function of the ovaries, and the spread of cancer cells will affect the tissue structure of the ovaries. Under this influence, the menstrual volume will become less and less, and even menopause will occur.
2. Sex hormone disorder.
Ovarian cancer can also cause symptoms of sex hormone disorders. The causes of ovarian cancer are more numerous and complex, and more tissues and organs are affected. Ovarian cancer can cause some hormones to fluctuate greatly. Ovarian cancer is responsible for secreting more estrogen. When ovarian cancer secretes more estrogen, it can cause irregular menstruation, vaginal bleeding after menopause, or precocious puberty. The same principle applies to testicular prostate cancer. When there is more androgen, male physical signs will appear.
3. Lower back pain and abdominal pain.
One of the most common symptoms is back pain, because in the early stages of ovarian cancer, tumors will increase and the tissue structures around the ovaries will adhere, leading to back pain and abdominal pain.
4. Edema of the lower limbs and vulva.
In the early stages of ovarian cancer, ovarian tumors will increase, which will naturally compress the pelvic veins, block blood flow, and hinder lymphatic return. Poor lymphatic flow can cause edema in the lower limbs and vulva.
How to prevent ovarian cancer
1. Women should exercise properly to prevent ovarian cancer.
Proper exercise can help regulate the body's immunity and prevent ovarian cancer. It can also prevent other related female diseases such as uterine cancer. It can also help prevent excessive accumulation of body fat, which affects hormone secretion. At the same time, proper exercise may also enhance the immune system and reduce the occurrence of female diseases.
2. Drinking tea in moderation can help prevent ovarian cancer.
Compared with those who never drink tea, women who drink more than two cups of tea a day have a 46% lower risk of ovarian cancer. At the same time, if you drink one more cup of tea, the risk will be reduced by 18%. Specifically, whether it is black tea, which is popular among the British, or green tea, which is popular among Orientals, it can prevent cancer.
3. Ovarian maintenance massage techniques can maintain the ovaries.
Massage technique: After taking a bath, women should take an appropriate amount of ovarian maintenance essential oil, apply it evenly on the abdomen, and massage from the clavicle to the navel; then rub the navel on both sides of the waistline, strengthen the diaphragm in the upper abdomen, and strengthen the uterine and ovarian area in the lower abdomen; use your hands to press the abdomen deeply clockwise with the navel as the center to enhance ovarian absorption.
4. Eat nutritiously to avoid ovarian cancer.
Intake of high-calcium foods can reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer. Therefore, women are advised to supplement calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, celery, rapeseed, carrots and other vegetables, soy products, fish, shrimp, crab and seafood, lemon, loquat, apple and other fruits and dried fruits.
5. In terms of contraception, women are advised to choose short-acting oral contraceptives, which can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer.
Women should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and perineum, avoid smoking and drinking, and reduce exposure to radiation.
How is ovarian cancer treated?
One is surgery.
Surgery plays a key role, especially for the first surgery. Once a malignancy is suspected, laparotomy should be performed as soon as possible. Based on the results of the examination, the scope of surgery is determined. For advanced cases, we should abandon the idea of laparotomy and biopsy and do our best to perform surgical treatment and remove any obvious tumor lesions.
The second is chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy is the main adjuvant treatment. Since ovarian malignant tumors are sensitive to chemotherapy, a certain effect can be achieved even if they are widely metastatic. It can be used to prevent recurrence and can also be used for patients who have not been completely removed by surgery, providing temporary relief or even long-term survival. For patients who are in the late stage and cannot undergo surgery, chemotherapy can shrink the tumor and create conditions for future surgery.
The third is radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy is an adjuvant therapy for surgery and chemotherapy. Dysgerminoma is the most sensitive to radiotherapy, granulosa cell tumor is moderately sensitive, and epithelial cancer is also somewhat sensitive. Dysgerminoma can achieve good results even in the late stage.
Who is most likely to get ovarian cancer?
1. Infertile patients using ovulation-inducing drugs.
2. Women who are unmarried or marry late, infertile or have few children, and do not breastfeed.
3. The incidence of ovarian cancer is higher in women who have early menarche, have not given birth, or are unmarried.
4. Women who like to eat high-fat, high-protein, and high-calorie foods.
5. Ovarian cancer can occur in women of any age, but is more common in women in menopause and perimenopause, especially menopausal women over 50 years old.
6. Ovarian cancer is also genetically predisposed. All families with a history of ovarian, breast, and colon cancer should pay attention to Angelina Jolie's related examinations.
7. Women with psychological factors such as irritable personality, long-term depression or strong stimulation will have an increased risk of disease.
8. For women who are frequently exposed to talcum powder, asbestos, smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, and are exposed to radiation, the risk of disease is several times higher than that of others.
Abstract: I believe that everyone has learned from the above reading what kind of early symptoms will appear when ovarian cancer occurs. I hope that more female friends can be vigilant when this happens. We also share with you what methods can be used to treat ovarian cancer when it occurs. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. |
