Methods to prevent ovarian tumors

Ovarian tumor refers to a tumor that occurs on the ovary. It is one of the common tumors of the female reproductive system. Ovarian malignant tumor also has the highest mortality rate among gynecological malignant tumors. Although great progress has been made in both basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of ovarian malignant tumors in recent years, unfortunately, its 5-year survival rate has not improved significantly. So how to prevent ovarian tumors? The following experts will introduce you to the prevention measures of ovarian tumors.

1. Pay attention to inspection

Ovarian tumors cannot be found in general physical examinations, and sometimes abdominal ultrasound, vaginal ultrasound, and CT scans are difficult to confirm. Only by adding a tumor marker CA125 test can the diagnosis be more accurate. Early detection and early treatment have a very impressive survival rate. So this is a way to prevent ovarian tumors.

2. Eat a balanced diet

Eat less high-cholesterol and high-fat foods, and eat more foods rich in beta-carotene. The World Health Organization encourages women to take birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, so as to inhibit ovarian ovulation and reduce the incidence rate. It is understood that women who have taken birth control pills for five years have more than half the chance of developing ovarian tumors in the next 10 years.

3. Early education

Currently, the media has done a lot of popular science education on cervical cancer (its early symptoms are easy to detect). At the same time, we should also increase publicity on ovarian tumors to let people deepen their understanding and strengthen prevention; we should encourage women to have annual physical examinations and include abdominal B-ultrasound and vaginal ultrasound screening to detect any signs of ovarian tumors as early as possible.

4. Don’t mistake these symptoms for common gynecological diseases

For example, abdominal distension, backache, fatigue, increased waist circumference, frequent urination, menstrual changes (such as irregular menstruation or increased menstrual flow), changes in bowel habits (including diarrhea or constipation), etc. Especially if the first four phenomena often occur, you must pay attention to them and go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause.

It should be noted that ovarian tumors have no specific symptoms, so patients are rarely alert, and even doctors sometimes misdiagnose them as common gynecological diseases, which is why most ovarian tumors are diagnosed in the late stage. Therefore, when gynecologists see such patients, in addition to checking for some common gynecological diseases, they must also guard against ovarian tumors, especially when they find small masses in the patient's pelvic cavity.

5. Strengthen selenium supplementation

For the human body, the stability of blood selenium content can effectively activate the human immune system and stimulate it to produce more T lymphocytes that can destroy cancer cells, thereby enhancing the body's resistance to cancer cells and reducing the risk of cancer. In addition, elemental selenium itself can effectively block the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in tumor cells, inhibit tumor growth, and further reduce the possibility of cancer in the human body. It is best to supplement selenium with malt selenium in combination with Selenium Weikang chewable tablets. Malt selenium has the highest conversion rate and utilization rate among organic selenium, which is crucial for people who are deficient in selenium. Selenium supplementation requires quality rather than quantity.
