Early symptoms of ovarian cancer. Will ovarian cancer lead to menopause?

Ovarian cancer is the most difficult and has the highest mortality rate among female reproductive organ cancers. The early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious. The main manifestations are a decrease in menstrual volume, or even menopause, and a disorder of sex hormones. In addition, edema of the vulva may occur. Although the treatment rate of ovarian cancer is high if it is discovered early, its recurrence rate is also high, which often catches people off guard.

The occurrence of female diseases has become more frequent in recent years, and ovarian cancer is one of the symptoms. Many women are unfamiliar with this disease when they develop ovarian cancer, which has caused great harm to women's health. So, what are the early symptoms of ovarian cancer? Let's take a look at it below.
Early symptoms of ovarian cancer include scanty menstruation and menopause. A common early symptom of ovarian cancer is scanty menstruation and menopause. Most ovarian cancer patients' menstruation is basically not affected. 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 such influence, the menstrual volume will become less and less, or even menopause.
Sex hormone disorders will also cause symptoms of sex hormone disorders when ovarian cancer occurs. The causes of ovarian cancer are relatively numerous and complex, and many 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 symptoms of precocious puberty. There are also similar principles, such as testicular blastoma, which produces more androgens and will cause masculinization.
Lower limbs and vulva edema. In the early stages of ovarian cancer, the ovarian tumor will grow larger, which will naturally compress the pelvic veins, block blood flow, and thus hinder lymphatic return. Because of the blockage of lymphatic flow, edema of the lower limbs and vulva will occur.
