Preventive measures for ovarian tumors

In today's society, women have been liberated and their status has improved. However, gynecological tumors are constantly threatening women's health and bringing many changes to women's lives. Among them, ovarian tumors are one of the more serious tumors. So how can women prevent the occurrence of ovarian tumors in life? Here I will introduce you to some prevention methods.

1. Vigorously carry out publicity and advocate a diet high in protein, vitamins A, C, and E, and avoid a diet high in cholesterol. Oral contraceptives are recommended for high-risk women.

2. Women over 30 years old should have a gynecological examination once a year. High-risk groups should be screened from an early age, and B-ultrasound tests and routine fetal alpha globulin tests can be done.

3. Early detection and early treatment. Ovarian cystic tumors with a diameter greater than 6 cm should be surgically removed and sent for routine pathological examination. This is because benign tumors may become malignant if they continue to grow. Regardless of the size of solid ovarian tumors, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, and frozen section examinations should be performed during the operation to determine the scope of the operation. Patients with unclear diagnosis of pelvic tumors or ineffective conservative treatment should undergo laparoscopy or exploratory laparotomy as soon as possible. All patients with breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer should undergo routine gynecological examinations and regular follow-up after surgery to detect metastatic cancer early.

4. Selenium plays such an important role as an auxiliary means in tumor treatment. Selenium is one of the main components of glutathione peroxidase. It can prevent the formation of peroxides and free radicals in the body, and can oxidize lipid peroxides or hydrogen peroxide, thereby protecting cells in the body and inhibiting the occurrence of cancer.

The above is an introduction to the prevention methods for women to prevent ovarian tumors. I believe everyone knows it now. So in life, the majority of female compatriots should always pay attention to their physical health and go to the hospital for examination immediately if they feel unwell. This way, ovarian tumors can be discovered earlier and treated earlier.
